"I love Andrew Yang and am proud to be endorsing him. He's offering me a thousand bucks a month to say this. Andrew is a visionary whose humanity is boundless. I'm honored to be part of the #YangGang," said Jeong.

"Ken's support of our Humanity First movement is an honor. The Yang Gang is made up of individuals from many different backgrounds and professions, and having Ken among our supporters is a thrill. Ken's contributions as an actor and comedian have been groundbreaking – it's well-known that he left a secure role as a doctor to pursue his dream. Ken's career is an example that we can all do more than is expected of us," said Andrew Yang.
