According to a luxury brand expert in London Rocky Chi, the main reason is the Covid-19. Chinese visitors are the big customers of European luxury brands. But due to the pandemic era, they cannot visit European stores for shopping.

Due to this reason, they want their ambassadors to promote their luxuries in Asia. And they make many of them global ambassadors. They do it to promote excitement and to enhance their sales.

Many Asian names were not even known in the west but it cannot be considered a problem. Because western faces were not known in Asia, especially in China. But they were on billboards everywhere in the country.

According to Charlie Gu, the rising popularity of k-pop stars also play a role in this decision. However, the rising talent of Asians in the Hollywood industry is the main reason. Asian celebrities attract the young generation because of their looks so luxury brands can also be popular with the younger generation. Also, the west has been far away from culture and their banners have hatred toward Asia.
