He was there!
Gee, I missed this event! I knew about it and checked my trip cost, then, gave up! If I knew Sung will be there, I might have squeezed my budget and come out to see him. Oh well. But that's OK because I can still watch videos like this. Great to see how he is doing. I still need to ask this question though -- show is you stylist? lol~
But anyway, it's always great to see latest news about him. :D

#JusticeForHan
http://www.cinemablend.com/news/1649599/the-final-two-fast-and-furious-movies-will-bring-in-han-heres-what-we-know
Is it getting more real? Is Han officially coming back to the series???
I knew "Han" is so cool and obtained huge number of fans worldwide, but didn't know that there is a plan to further develop what happened in Tokyo. It was shown twice already -- not just a re-play of same scene, but they actually junked RX-7 multiple times for that, I heard -- to fully confirm what happened to Han in Shibuya, Tokyo. What else can they do?
It will be super cool if the whole team comes back to Japan! I know, it's too expensive to shoot in Tokyo. But since this is such a top revenue generating work for the studio, they can invest, can't they?

Data driven mind
https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2017-fast-and-furious/
It is rare that I post a link to an article where we cannot see Sung's picture or it is not about Sung. But I like this article because it has a scientific and detailed approach to analyze what's going on in our favorite franchise, Fast and Furious.
I feel like we are getting more and more data-driven these days. Whether we like it or not, we do data entry every day. Our activities are recorded everywhere. There is no more privacy even if we are not one of those celebrities. I don't blame people who are still strongly resisting against this and stay away from it as much as possible. But we just don't have choice. Data about us is somewhere up in Cloud. We are to be analyzed. I realized I had to deal with it even before I started this blog or being super active on multiple SNS. After all, I don't have much to hide. It's just the matter of how much someone else need to dig. If there is a valid reason for someone else to dig about me, I'll let them do that. At the same time, it's better to be honest and be yourself as much as you can. Online of offline. That's what I kind of figured as the best strategies to survive this digital age.
By the way, I found this from my friend's instagram account below. Very nice one!

Still debating...
http://festival.vconline.org/2017/films/better-luck-tomorrow/
Thanks to Fi posted this on Sung's official Facebook page, I found another "possible" chance to meet Sung in person. It is not fully confirmed which cast will be there, but sounds like Justin will be there for sure. Unless there is some kind of conflict, Sung should be there, too. But don't blame me if you go there and fail to see him.
What should I do? I'm still debating. Last minute vacation request may be possible with my work, but I am already scheduled to be out between 5/1 to 14. Luckily, my flight, round-trip to Japan, can be changed without major penalty because I booked it with my mileage award with an option to change. And I started viewing my new possible flights from LAX. It sounds doable. I just need to start my vacation a few days earlier than planned. I was going to stay in my parents' house. So, no worry about my accommodation, neither. But should I...?
When I asked my hubby, "hey, would you like to travel to LA?," he immediately asked me, "Is it Sung Kang?" He knows everything. "Yes. Another chance to see him during a film festival." Unfortunately, he wasn't interested. He'd rather receive some cash for the cost of his trip. But good news is, he doesn't mind if I decide to go. He just suggested to go to Japan without coming back to DC. It probably does not make sense to come back to DC for a day or two, then, head to Japan.
You know, flight to LA isn't that expensive -- I found one around $250. There are many cheap hotels near LAX. So, technically speaking, I can afford this.
And it's a known fact that I am as crazy as doing it. But I already booked my chance to see him in NYC in November. So, it may be a bit too much to do twice in a year.
I'm still debating. Well, I cannot book this trip until I get "OK" from my manager anyway. I will ask on Monday. Will Sung do video for me again? This time, I'd like to record his voice for alarm to wake us up. Well, he or his management company may charge me for that. He is a multi-million dollar actor.
Another chance for others in Florida is below.

Just do it, Alright?
http://uproxx.com/movies/fast-furious-bring-han-back/
Another excellent article with links to nice video. I love reading articles like this. There are so many people like me, just craving for Han o be back somehow in the series. OK. I'll be honest. I didn't even watch FF7 and probably skip 8 as well. No offence to other casts and crew members, but no Han, no FF to me.
I like how this article suggests option 1 through 5. I don't mind any of them as long as Han comes back in the franchise. Logistic doesn't really bother us. Totally agreed. lol~

Happy Birthday!
Great video about Han! Found in the article about a great (possible) news.
http://nextshark.com/fast-furious-han-seoul-oh-return-sung-kang/
We are super excited to hear that Han may be brought back to FF! -- I know it's not confirmed, but since he is so popular, the studio may not be able to ignore the "demand."

And it's his birthday today!
Dear Sung,
Happy Birthday to you! I am so happy to see you doing great with many projects, keeping you busy all the time. It was also good to see you in NYC earlier this year! Too bad, I failed to join the project... well, next time!
It's also good to see you have a lot of fans rooting you all the time. I can see them very actively showing their support to you in Instagram. :)
Can't wait to see your next work! Stay engaged and keep us posted.

I've never seen him speaking this much Korean!
My friend posted screenshots from this video and mentioned about "류 시원." Thanks to those keywords, I was able to locate this video on YouTube! Yey~~
Wow.. to be honest with you. I was very seriously impressed by his Korean speaking ability. I though he cannot speak Korean this much. Looks like he has no problem communicating in Korean at all. Or he just practiced really hard before this show.
Maybe next time I see Sung in person, I should try my broken Korean.

His birthday is coming
Looks like there were still some video I failed to find earlier.. Glad I did Google Search tonight. :) I just realized I updated this blog only twice last month. Shame on me. It's been a little busy month and I caught cold (again) in 2nd half of March. After a few more days, Sung is going to be older than me by 1 year. Well, he has been always 8 months older than I am. But between my birthday and his, I enjoy being able to say I am exactly as old as he is. I know. We are in mid-40s'. Too old to talk like this. But who cares, right?
Recently, my friend share her secret crush. She told me that she just fell in love with someone she saw on TV and couldn't help thinking of him for days. I told her I could totally relate that to my crush though it's not that secret. But the only difference is that she calmed down after a couple of weeks. That'll never happen to me. I am as crazy as the first time I realized I'm in love with him, and it's been 10 years. I'll be the craziest 할머니 he'd know someday.
