Jenn joined Palmer in the After The Final Rose episode, where she shared that she is ready to start a new chapter of her life and find a potential partner in season 21. She felt honored to be the first Asian American woman as a lead on The Bachelorette, while most of her requirements remain the same she is looking for someone who has a “really big personality”, who can have a "cheeky banter" and is a “perfect match” for her.

She expressed gratitude reflecting on the stereotypical media representation of Asians and them usually getting side roles in TV shows and movies. For her, being the main character and "leading her own love story" would be life-changing and would inspire many Asian girls.

“I think I’ll know when I find him. It’s honestly incredible. I feel so, so grateful and so honored. I was like, 'I don't see myself on screen. I don't see myself as a main character. And now to be here today standing in this position being like, 'I am going to lead my own love story."
