What to Know About the Cast of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" Season 2

Tung stars as Belly in "The Summer I Turned Pretty," and it's her first major role. She was a student at Carnegie Mellon when she filmed her audition tape.

While fans might be attracted to the series because of the romance, Tung is firm that the series is really about Belly's coming of age. "I'm Team Belly," Tung told POPSUGAR in June 2022. "I think that is the only right answer. But I very much believe that she should follow her heart, and I believe in her going on her own journey and discovering that by herself."
