I missed the opportunity... again!
I was wrong about Sung's part with Snakehead is over in February. I wasn't sure what "unofficial wrap" means. Looks like the director needed extras again when we were hit by the late snow storm in 3rd week of March. I was once again, debating -- should I? But I only have a high mileage car.. my 11 years old Honda Civic just reached 200K miles recently. It's still drivable. But I need to survive with this car until my Model 3 becomes available. According to Tesla's website, my turn should be around late 2017. I'm still not 100% sure if that is a good idea or not as I often drive to NYC. With Model 3, I have to charge at least once each way. Looks like Super-charging station is available on my way. But not sure how long the wait might be.
Anyway, looks like Sung is back in NYC again today..? But this time, for POWER...? Can't take my eyes off of him!

New York today?
According to a short video posted by one of the casts in the same work, Sung's role seems to be a gangster who facilitates human trafficking.
I started reading more about human trafficking and getting really depressed. It's so sad to know what's going on in real world in real time. Plus, a long and sad history in each country. We all know it exists somewhere not too far from where we live. I was a bit surprised to learn that Japan is categorized in Tier 2 in Ranking System while some other neighbor countries like South Korean and Taiwan are in Tier 1. That's a shocking fact to me.

Anyway, hope this movie show us something we can feel hopeful about the future. We don't want to enjoy our convenience at a cost of someone else's hardship.
By the way, it seems like Sung himself has been inactive in Twitter/Instagram/Facebook lately. I need to remind him that we want his selfie. Though we can see him through someone else's posting, we feel more connected if Sung posts something on his own. Please don't hesitate to do selfie and share. We want to hear from you.

Day 14 in NYC?
Hope everyone is having a great weekend before Valentine's Day.
Do I have any plan? No. I just need to work.
But I'm happy! I'm happy because we can see how production of "Snakehead" is going. I took a few screenshots from "Story." According to the latest images, they just shot a brutal scene. Hope everything is going well with them.

Shame on me...

Facebook just reminded me what I did around this time last year. About a year ago, I met Sung in person after 8 years break. That was a huge "gift" to myself. I had to reward myself with something nice after working so hard in 2015. I didn't hesitate when I found the event where I have a pretty good chance to see him in person though it means $400+ for me to fly to LAX and stay one night plus other misc cost. After that, I learned about another project Sung is involved - Code 8. I didn't hesitate to back the project by pledging $450 for the right to attend New York premiere + a privilege(?) to have a photo with Sung taken in November 2017. -- Now, I just realized I missed a big chance to do even better -- 1-2 hours hang out with Sung plus the movie director! I can't believe I missed this. T_T
OK. I'm not rich. $1,500 isn't easy. But not impossible. I just got my tax refund. I know I'm so fast and furious when it comes to getting tax refund especially after I became a homeowner. So, I can do $1,500. But I'm not sure if I can do this without making my hubby upset. :( I just told him that we do not spend our tax refund because we have to buy Tesla Model 3 around the end of 2017. I don't have enough down payment for that.
But the money is not only for 1-2 hours with Sung. It helps the movie, which looks pretty interesting. At first, I didn't have any idea about "Snakehead." But after translated to Japanese, I realized what it is about. I've heard a very brutal true story about it a while ago. It'll be a heavy movie.
I also like the idea that it features an Asian immigrant female in early 30s'. I just missed that because I'm in 40s' now. But otherwise, I'm kind of in the same demography. I just wonder if someone can make a movie featuring someone like me -- well, perhaps not so dramatic. But it's actually been pretty eventful. Not sure if can be a movie, but I do plan to write a non-fiction about it someday. Like so many Korean guys comes and goes. Sung can be a part of my story because he takes up a quite a bit of Korean guys quota in my brain -- almost as much as my hubby does. Anyway, my story won't be as dramatic. But could be a comedy. I just don't know how I can make a public comedy story without embarrassing my family. lol~

Exciting project in NYC
On to a new project? This image reminds me how much I adore Sung having "bad guy" looking.
Too bad, I didn't plan ahead for being a part of this cool looking Indie. It might have been my chance to see Sung on set. :(

Back in NYC today?
It seems Sung is back in NYC today. I saw him posted a short video of a young pianist playing in 34th street station of NYC Metro. That's exactly where I was two weeks ago. I saw the same boy playing the same music at a different corner of the same station.
Anyway, I feel good when I found him doing something similar to what I was doing recently.
===========
Recently, Sung retweeted a link to an article written 10 years ago:
http://www.backstage.com/news/sung-from-the-heart/
This was written before I start blogging here or even before Tokyo Drift released in theaters. A bit more details about how the character, "Han," was developed back then. Interesting!
By the way, I really like Sung in the bottom half of the photo below.

Small (and fun) project!
This was posted by one of my very good friends who is as crazy as I am when it comes to Sung. She did this small project and came out pretty good. Let me explain what she did here.
She started her instagram account, just so she can talk about how much Sung means to her, as well as within all the good things to the rest of the world. Her daily post includes a lot of kinds words and sincere message, not only about Sung, but also for whomever happen to see her post.
After building a solid community consisting other huge fans of Sung Kang's, she made this suggestion -- why don't you guys share your most favorite pic of Sung with me? I will make a collage out of them, and post in my account!
I was also invited, but I couldn't join -- I just have so many favorites, and couldn't pick one. But I was so glad to see this because there were so many joined her movement. Isn't this great?
The only thing made her sad is that she ended up getting no "like" from Sung himself. I'm not sure how much I can help her here, but I can at least explain what she tried. All I can do is Japanese to English translation. Though it's not perfect, let me try:
2017 Jan 23 Monday - Good morning. Along with other fans, I put together this collage to express my appreciation to you. Thank you for making us being so in love with you. We are receiving a lot of love from you. These photos are chosen by each fan participated my project. The message at the center was created by me. Hope you like it. When you are having a hard time or about to lose faith in what you are doing, please think of us. There are so many and all kinds of fans of yours all over the World. We will continue rooting you as much as we can. Therefore, hope you know we are here, and remember us from time to time. We love you. Please take care of yourself. For those participated my project, thank you very much! I know you all are busy. All of these "Sung" are wonderful. Some, I've never seen in the past. Impressed! No wonder you all are so in love with Sung. Let's hope Sung like this. Let me join you continue rooting Sung. Wish you all a great day!
Let' see if Sung can "like" this post now...
