Anna Cathcart, who plays teen matchmaker Kitty Song Covey in XO, Kitty, lived in Seoul, Korea for four months for the Netflix series—and it was nothing like the “bold moves” she’s done in the past. | via philstarlife
, Kitty moves to Korea to reunite with her long-distance boyfriend and enroll at the Korean Independent School of Seoul, where she gets to learn more about life and love.Coming up with realizations about her personal life during filming made it all the more special for her.
On top of getting to hang out with the cast, she was left in awe of the beauty of Seoul—not just its stunning views but also its people. The months she spent in the city even strengthened her connection to her Asian roots. Anna makes it a point to celebrate her being half-Asian in her own ways to this day. “I grew up in Vancouver where there’s a lot of biracial people and there was a lot of kids my age who were half-Asian and who had similar ancestry to me.
“So the very first thing you eat is candy, we make a whole plate of my favorite Chinese candies and that was, since I was little, one of my favorite things because it’s so fun. How would that not be fun? Eat candy for breakfast? That’s the greatest,” she said with a laugh. The teen star is aware that some biracial people are left with questions about themselves and their individuality. “I know that for a lot of people who are biracial, there’s the feeling of not being enough of one thing or enough of the other thing and that could definitely be a challenge, but I hope in the future, they can feel that those two things make them whole and that they kind of make a beautiful combination.
