IDENTITY LA 2018 was the biggest yet. A crowd of more than 10,000 gathered at the steps of L.A. City Hall to see a concert headlined by Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda and K-pop powerhouse artist Jay Park, and to enjoy a food and drinks selection curated by world-famous L.A. chef Roy Choi. The festival’s honorees included Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu and Blogilates’ Cassey Ho, for their impact on the city’s culture. The event also saw celebrity attendees, including Jeremy Lin, Kelly Hu, Ross Butler and Harry Shum Jr., join in on the celebration.
