Trivia[]
- The bright blue Korean symbol (헐) in the picture Candy Chiu took of the Summerween Trickster in "Summerween" was written, according to Yang, to mean "Awesome" (Revised Romanization: heol) in Korean.
- Yang's character, Candy, was revealed to be fluent in Korean in "Sock Opera," which is likely a reference to her ancestry.
