Ashley Park had a near-miss with playing her cousin Justin Min’s lover. The “Emily in Paris” actress recalled the awkward moment while promoting her new show “Beef” on “The Jennifer Hudson Show”. “So, there’s another character in this show played by Justin Min who happens to my second cousin,” she began. “The amazing showrunner, Sunny, he was considering me to play this character’s pregnant wife.
We have the same agent, Kevin, so then Kevin was like, ‘Ooh, wait, they’re like, very related.'” In a surprising reveal, Park said it wasn’t the first time someone’s made that mistake.

We should not be playing husband and wife or lovers. That is… not great,” she explained. In the end, having to be recast was a lucky turn of events for the actress. “So, I ended up with a part that I really love that was really different from anything I’ve ever played thanks to us being blood-related.
Thanks, Justin!” joked Park. The actress is perhaps best-known for her role as Lily Collins’ character’s best friend Mindy in “Emily in Paris”.
