Bling Empire is the best guilty pleasure series on Netflix right now.
The reality show, which has been described as a mix betweenCrazy Rich Asians, Selling SunsetandKeeping Up with theKardashians, follows the lavish lifestyles of a group of wealthy Asian American socialites in Los Angeles.
They throw luxurious, utterly ridiculous parties. They spend far too much money. (Plane trip to Paris for a lunch date, anyone?) And they don't appear to... work.
Watch the trailer for Netflix's Bling Empire below. Post continues after video.
But amid all the ridiculousness, there's a voice of reason inBling Empire.
Enter: Kevin Kreider.
Unlike his cast mates, Kevin, who comes from humble beginnings, acts as a voice of reason (and narrator) in an otherwise opulent world.
Here's everything we know aboutBling Empire'sKevin Kreider.
Who are Kevin Kreider's parents?
Kevin Kreider was born in Seoul, South Korea.
As a young child, Kevin moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, after being adopted into a middle-class Caucasian family.
InBling Empire,Kevin's storyline involves getting a DNA test as he searches for his biological mother.
The 37-year-old also tried regression therapy in an attempt to reconnect with his biological parents.
At first, Kevin was hesitant about sharing his adoption story onBling Empire.
"I remember telling one of the producers that I didn’t really want to do this adoption stuff," he told Newsweek.
"I thought it was going to be cliché. But when we started getting into it more, I was like, 'Wow, this might actually mean something more to me than I thought.'"
He was also inspired to learn more about his biological parents after struggling with his identity throughout adulthood.
"I literally used to feel like I wasn't Asian enough whenever I was around Asians," he told Bustle. "And I never felt like I was white enough when I was around white people."

The model has also worked to raise awareness for Alopecia Areata after losing " the majority of his hair" due to the autoimmune disease.
In 2019, Kevin was the focus of a documentary,The Ugly Model.
According to Bustle ,the 37-year-old is hoping to do more acting and scriptwriting.
"I've written scripts and I've been working on projects with other writers," he said.
What is Kevin Kreider's net worth?

In the show, Kevin told a friend that he lives in a share house in Los Angeles for $1,000 a month. While he has his own bedroom at the home, Kevin said that he shares a bathroom with his housemates.
Surprisingly, however, The Tab have estimated Kevin's net worth as $10 million.
We don't know who to believe. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
