~~Collab with Tina Guo, Mia Asano et al https://www.loudersound.com/news/we-think-weve-found-the-coolest-cover-of-rammsteins-deutschland-on-the-internet~~ A single social media post probably isn't worth including
~~CBS on AAPI heritage~~ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/smashing-pumpkins-next-guitarist-kiki-wong/ Doesn't really add much to the fact of her heritage
~~Podcast guest host https://www.spin.com/2022/10/gavin-rossdale-lipps-service-podcast/ (confirmed as her)~~ No other coverage, so inclusion on its own verging on WP:NOTDIARY
~~Psuedonym "Wongo" http://kikiwongo.com~~ Hmmm, I guess it's just a social media handle really. No other RS coverage under this name.
Live review: "Besides her ability to shred as well as scope out the nuance as in "1979," Wong looked the part in her black spandex and halter top, adding another dose of dark vibes with a halo of hope." https://wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/login?auth=production&url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=J0E171454043824&lang=en-gb&site=eds-live&scope=site Playing style details now better covered by Spin and other sources in articles.
