Secret of Sung's diet

I did a regular google search with key word, "Sung Kang" and found this link tonight.

http://www.tv.com/sung-kang/person/16349/summary.html

I knew most of stuffs written there, but there are a few trivia I did not know:

"To prepare for his role in The Motel, Sung went on a diet of Burger King food at the request of director Micheal Kang. He says that the diet was 'an exercise to show that he's a guy who's lost all physical and mental control of himself."

But I still don't know how he lost weight last year. Does anyone know?

Another thing I read for the first time (Sung's quote):

"Getting the feel of a masculine self confident man, it was difficult. My whole life, I was a second class citizen. Han is like a guy's guy. I think for us, as Asian Americans, I don't know speaking personally, it's been tough to understand to know what it means to be a sexual male, where's there's self-esteem."

I think what Sung said here is hard for many of his fans to believe. He is the sexiest guy in the world from the first place. What is he talking about here? But I also know what he meant. Yet, things are not the same as back then Sung spent his childhood. And I still think it was not only coming from his acting, but Sung is naturally a sexy guy, which he just did not know before. (Now, he may know).

Didn't know about this...

I am not sure exactly when this interview was done, but must be before April because Sung Kang said he is 35. He turned to 36 in April 2008.

I was surprised by the fact that Sung finds the reality is against him. Well, I may have read this wrong, but that's how I felt by reading this interview. I honestly felt that Finishing the Game is not as good as Better Luck Tomorrow. But I still enjoyed it a lot and I love Sung's part. Well, I know I'm biased and I always unconditionally enjoy whatever Sung is involved. But still...

Anyway, at least I know Sung got additional opportunies after this interviews, which motivate him to keep going as an Asian American actor for another while. And no matter what happens, he is the biggest star for me!

Cooking bulgogi

I knew that Sung is running Saketini in LA, but I did not know he takes care of cooking part as well. I know the main shef cooks more than bulgogi, but Sung's way of cooking looks professional in this video, too. I enjoyed his hair w/o a hair stylist, too.

Sung's eyebrows

One of my friends told me that my husband looks like Sung a little bit. Well, I don't agree, though I wish that's true. But there is one common thing between Sung and my husband. Both are Koreans.

Did you know how to distinguish Korean from Japanese or Chinese? Eyebrows. My husband's eyebrows looks similar. From the center, first half looks like a straight line, then, it goes multi-directions. I think I see this type of eyebrows often among Korean guys, but not among Japanese or Chinese guys.

Making of JUMP ads

I grabbed one image from Sung's MySpace. Looks like another pre-edit photo from his recent job. Can't wait to see the completed version. I should start planning visiting NYC this summer and stop by the store in SOHO.

I found about more photos were posted on Sung's MySpace from someone's blog article captured by my daily google alert:

Sung = heart warming guy

I just read his latest writing at Alive not Dead page:

Hilarious! I confirmed I've been right about Sung Kang. He is such an excellent story teller with warm personality. Someone who knows how to make other people smile and laugh is very fortunte, I think.

This pix is from the bonus feature of "Finishing the Game."

Sung as a judge

Today's google alert delivered this link to my inbox:

Another aspect of Sung's. I admire his active involvement to this type of event.

Tae Do - still going on...

I was not able to take a clean screenshot from this clip. So, I had to use my digital camera to take a shot of my computer monitor. :p

My friend has better images uploaded to her blog. Check them out at:

This hair style reminded me another Korean actor from the TV drama, LOST. I am not following up the latest episodes, but I watched all of the episodes up to season 3. It is interesting that the actors and actresses we can see in TV dramas are not the same people we see in the movies. There are some overwraps, of course. But things are very different in Japan. Those who take the main roles in the movies are also very popular on TV shows. I heard the way of generating revenue in Japanese show business industry is totally differnt. That may be the reason I cannot find truly good young movie actors/actresses from Japan. I love seeing Korean actors from Korea doing Japanese roles in Holloywood movies. But I wonder why not from Japan? I cannot think of any good actor from Japan doing the main guy in the kind of movies Sung would also take a part. Oh well...

Anyway, as long as I can see Sung, TV or movie does not matter to me! (BTW, in case you are wonder, I'm from Japan.)

images from bonus feature

I took many images from bonus feature of Finishing the Game on DVD. I will use those images one by one. :)

I enjoyed deleted scenes a lot especially the one featuring Jason Tobin. It was unfortunate that Justin had to delete whole scenes for this role, but it made a perfect bonus feature.

I highly recommend everyone purchase Finighing the Game on DVD to study more about what Justin wanted to say.
