Not long ago, Simu Liu went viral for reminding the internet how to pronounce his name properly. The star jokingly explained that many people shorten or misread “Liu,” and the clip quickly spread across social media. Now it turns out he’s not the only famous Liu whose name people have been getting wrong, as the 2026 TV schedule and Olympic star Skater Alysa Liu confirms we’ve been pronouncing her name wrong, too. Fresh off a huge moment at the 2026 Winter Olympics, figure skater Alysa Liu recently confirmed that plenty of fans and commentators have been mispronouncing her last name as well. The clarification came during a short interview clip shared by Newsweek on Instagram (see below), in which Liu was asked directly how her name should be pronounced.
