Bro I'm a 29 year old white dude and he's an icon for me. So many legendary roles. I watched Tokyo drift hundreds of times just because I loved his character. My mom asked me why I was always trying to snack on chips and I said because han is always snacking.
Sung was a pioneer. Now is such a dope time for Asian actors. They’re everywhere in mainstream TV & movies, but it was dudes like Sung that helped kick that door open back in the day.
As an Asian kid growing up in the 90s, I idolized all the Asian actors, too. It's pretty awesome to hear Sung's story of actually trying to follow in their foot steps.
Me neither. I actually rarely ever finish watching videos ESPECIALLY ones this long, but I watched the entire thing, engaged the entire time.That proves he’s a good storyteller
Wow this was an awesome interview! Thanks for having Sung on your podcast. Loved this guy ever since I saw him on Tokyo Drift. I really respect his wholesome demeanor and the way he talks about his life and career journey. He has an amazing presence on screen and he’s such a good storyteller. Never knew he was in GOD’s music video! Now I have to go watch it! 🇰🇷😆
So glad I found this podcast! I grew up as an Korean-American in Iowa, and it was very difficult. I wish I would've grown up in K-town. I probably would've thrived far better there
Dumbfounded, I gotta say. I remember you since the early RUclips days and I admit I didn't follow your entire career but I always remembered you and seeing you pop up in my recommendations a lot now with podcasts, guests on other ones, interviews, music, etc I feel I gotta say, much respect for your hustle. You never stopped, huh? You just kept the grind and it's paid off I'm sure more than once for you. Congrats bro. Honestly. Much respect. ❤ Oh yeah and I remember you from even being on JK News and stuff early on. Videos with JK Films too? Man, been so long. I haven't kept up with every channel I did back then. I'd watch every single video certain channels released. I gotta go back and see how everyone's doing nowadays. That's my bad. 15 years went by fast.
YO THIS EPISODE WAS ACTUALLY SO GOOD! I love the part when you guys talked about the Car Discussion youtube series, that series was seriously so damn funny, and the ending with Sung guessing what types of people drive what cars was so good!
🥰😍🥵❤️🔥💯👏🏾 This is by far the most amazing, awesome engaging flawless interview. I love how Dumb shows true admiration, respect, for the talented Sung Kang. Sung is so humbled and passionate he deserves all his blessings, successes, and accolades. 🤲🏾👏🏾💖💫⭐️ Bring him back...need a part 2. 😊
Better Luck Tomorrow was such an interesting film bc it was the first time I saw all Asians in a movie doing bad shit. And based on a true story. Been a fan ever since, I could’ve listen to another hour. I would’ve liked to hear more about how he ended up in Georgia? In Hawaii, we all know why we’re here, but in the states i always wonder how Asians end up in like middle America. It’s always interesting to me.
Giorgetto Giurgiaro is my favorite designer of all time. That man has built the most based cars, cameras and consumer products in the world. Didnt know he had a touch on the hyundai pony but im glad he did. He also designed the Nikon F3 and the Nikon l35af.
This man icon of us Asian people we so proud of you man when see you on big movie hope see you more in movies man and so happy for Asian kids now days you can see a lot of show who look like us on TV and can feel y'all belong here some how you can be anything you want in this world
Better Luck Tomorrow made me think he's gonna be a star. 30 years later and still pumpin. That popcorn eating thing made me recall Bruce Lee at the end of "BIg Boss." Iconic! I'd like to see another star pull it off like Sung and Bruce did. That would be a fangasm.
Please don't insult Better Luck Tomorrow by comparing it to that pile of trash C.R.A. Like, Better Luck Tomorrow actually represented the Asian-American wannabe gangster lifestyle as it was in Orange County and LA. C.R.A. was a minstrel movie for white people to enjoy.
K Dramas just remind me of our telenovelas in Colombia and just all of South and Central America. So dramatic. So extra. And some are absolutely wild. They really know how to hook ANYONE. I dare you to try watching more than one episode. I blame my mom for so much time wasted. 😂
3:01 Rather than trying to figure out where you are in the food chain, Wong Fu Productions chose to build their own food pyramid because let's face it, the doors aren't exactly being knocked and certainly with more eyeballs looking else where, it's becoming more of a numbers game than ever. This is why you have streaming platforms just bringing content from overseas because they found that there is an audience for it. Certainly as content and studios mature else where we'll see more of this global proliferation of entertainment landing stateside. Good on him for trying to control his own destiny and not sit back and wait for Hollywood.
Actually irrespective of races, if u ever notice. Those that is behind the scene r really those that u never really gave much thought about. These r the ppl that got selected from the best mind around the globe. Juz go thru name list of the team members e.g. from ideas to implementations of nuclear weapon etc - although some regretted their creations now. More destructive than good came out from it etc... If used for greater good imagine the values it adds.
As a Korean kid who came here at 8 with no Asian friends. It’s an interesting perspective but also so familiar. My parents had 2 Toyota sienna. First done died at 360K. Second one is still running at 290k

Surprised you didn’t talk about him on the Obi-Wan show with Deborah Chow.
20K for his role in Tokyo Drift is wild. I hope he gets mad royalties now. That and I hope he got paid a lot more in the subsequent FF roles.
dude is an icon for us older asian dudes
do you think gen z like me doesn't know sung kang?😏
Bro could still sign a JDM and skyrocket its price. He's still a legend in certain circles.
He’s an icon beyond that.
He is a great representation for Asians and men in cinema.

not really. it got SLIGHTLY better than 20 years ago. I don't see the "everywhere in mainstream TV" you're talking about
As an Asian kid growing up in the 90s, I idolized all the Asian actors, too. It's pretty awesome to hear Sung's story of actually trying to follow in their foot steps.
This gonna blow up. Dumb way underrated and doesn't get the respect he deserves.
Wow, I did not expect Sung Kang to be such a good storyteller. I was fully invested.
Me neither. I actually rarely ever finish watching videos ESPECIALLY ones this long, but I watched the entire thing, engaged the entire time.That proves he’s a good storyteller
@graciekattan6618 I wonder if that's why Dumb said that he had "director energy".
why is sung just so cool. gimme your coolness
I think out of all the videos I've seen Sung Kang being interviewed in he seems the most relaxed and comfortable speaking with Dumb.
This Podcast is so so good. Not sure why it doesnt have more views. Should get 100K per episode.
Besides knowing Sung Kang from Tokyo Drift, I loved seeing him and Bobby Lee in the MadTV K-Drama sketch lol
Wow this was an awesome interview! Thanks for having Sung on your podcast. Loved this guy ever since I saw him on Tokyo Drift. I really respect his wholesome demeanor and the way he talks about his life and career journey. He has an amazing presence on screen and he’s such a good storyteller. Never knew he was in GOD’s music video! Now I have to go watch it! 🇰🇷😆
Dumb you goated for this
Sung seriously did so much for male Asian actors, he's the goat, and it's awesome to hear him talk about that stuff!
Closed Captions are FINALLY in! Also, Sung is very chill and just brought a different, cool energy to this episode.
Hearing Sung have that much love for Bobby made me so happy. That Korean Drama Mad TV skit aged very well too.
I came just for a quick listen of certain topics. But DAMN....this was a damn good, deep conversation. FKN AWESOME!
Dayum dumb really stepped up with this guest
Loveddddd this interview!! 😊
So glad I found this podcast! I grew up as an Korean-American in Iowa, and it was very difficult. I wish I would've grown up in K-town. I probably would've thrived far better there
Could've ended up a lot worse too. Ktowns can be toxic and a mind trap
@leee5487 true. I guess I have no idea what it's like there. Would be funt o experience.
Dumbfounded, I gotta say.

Better luck tomorrow was way ahead of its time. Thank you for embracing the Han character hyung. Legendary

This guy is so real. Respect.
Man this whole pod was straight fire, new sub here 🤙🏼 Sung is such a legend would love to meet him someday.
Was this interview before the viral moment of his step-dad
Giorgetto Giurgiaro is my favorite designer of all time. That man has built the most based cars, cameras and consumer products in the world. Didnt know he had a touch on the hyundai pony but im glad he did. He also designed the Nikon F3 and the Nikon l35af.

Thank you dumb for having an African American actor on your podcast 😜👍
Dumb needs to be in film! I am so there!
Better Luck Tomorrow is the OG Crazy Rich Asians
Please don't insult Better Luck Tomorrow by comparing it to that pile of trash C.R.A. Like, Better Luck Tomorrow actually represented the Asian-American wannabe gangster lifestyle as it was in Orange County and LA. C.R.A. was a minstrel movie for white people to enjoy.
He was one of my very first online celebrity crushes, he doesn’t age 😢
Loving these types of guests
Loved this interview! Had no idea he was in the g.o.d. video!
The car guessing game was amazing haha. Sung Kang is on point lol
the sentra bit. first thought is my favorite maryland rapper
How is this guy just so effortlessly cool
K Dramas just remind me of our telenovelas in Colombia and just all of South and Central America. So dramatic. So extra. And some are absolutely wild. They really know how to hook ANYONE. I dare you to try watching more than one episode. I blame my mom for so much time wasted. 😂
Need the skin routine for both of these two gentlemen haha 🍿💯
dope episode 🔥
Sung Kang !!!🎉
Fast and furious wouldn't be what it was without Han!
Can we get Steven Yeun on the show
Han hasn't aged at all....
Love this!
Sung is a goat!
He is very intelligent
i became a subscriber coz of this. kang the goat
beef was a banger series , so does warrior
Ke Huy Quan took forever to get his flowers. I believe in Sung if he has the will to keep pushin. Great episode.
Crazy guest on this pods episode!
He was a huge part of tokyo drift and only got paid $20k is insane
I look forward to more talk like these.
Surprised y’all haven’t linked before!
I would not be surprised if shang tsung looks were based off sung kang. I can see it
HAN!!!!!!
🤯😍😍🔥🔥🔥love dumb💕
Dumb without a beanie or hat is crazy
Love him and Bobby Lee in Korean drama sketches in mad tv
BEtter Luck Tomorrow probably the first thing I saw him in.

i think the word " HAN " can be considered as " Sense of justice ". And having a sense of justice can also mean you have a sense of pride ~!!
Legendary 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
When I am finally loaded I WILL have his veilside Mazda from Tokyo Drift.
better luck tomorrow my GOAT film
🔥
This dude got paid only $20k after Toyko Drift………?? That’s mad crazy lol
As a Korean kid who came here at 8 with no Asian friends. It’s an interesting perspective but also so familiar.
My parents had 2 Toyota sienna. First done died at 360K. Second one is still running at 290k
My dad’s first car was Toyoto too
Good to meet korean here😀
🔥❤️ love it
Dude, not a single question about BARTSTOW?!
