Asian Prince was one of the first internet phenomenon, revolving around an Asian rock star named Wo-Hen Nankan who apparently set up a website on Geocities to look for a girlfriend - a Prince in search of a Princess, as he put it. The website first appeared in 1999 and may be responsible for coining such popular internet phrases as Hello ladies... and Am I not hot . Throughout the website Wo-Hen brags about his long hair styled into a mullet which, as he puts it, is soft, thick and easy to style, his moustache, expensive European suits, cars and money, as well as his ability to attract chicks. As a result it became (and still is) a magnet for flames on the guestbook.

The website is actually a hoax, and contrary to popular belief, the images are of a real person - Tuan Anh, a Vietnam glam rock singer from the late 1970s based in California. In fact, Wo-Hen Nankan means I am very ugly in Mandarin (linguistics). The original website was taken down, but multiple mirrors now exist. Originally, the site s pictures were hosted on a Vietnamese student s UMass Amherst account, so it is likely that he was responsible for creating the website.
