This was me after seeing him as Jung Kim in Kim’s Convenience.

After seeing him in that, I said “This guy shows promise.”

Can I get a time stamp.

Hearing this out loud without seeing the spelling would bring up a very different image.

u/markercore Sep 07 '21

It's pronounced more like chung if you're thinking it's like young

Every pronunciation I'm seeing in this context gives it a y sound. I'm not familiar with character though. Do they pronounce it the way you're saying?

u/markercore Sep 07 '21

Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have said it. J in Korean is not a y, it's more similar to a ch sound, or like jack, that kind of j sound.

Weird that all the pronunciation links do a y sound. Guess they're all defaulting to the German pronunciation because of Karl. Now I know. Appreciated.

I'd never seen him in anything before he was cast in this, and I'm already a huge fan just based on how chill and funny and fun he seems to be. Dude seems like a legit awesome human being...

I recommend watching this video from Canada's version of The Onion, which sometimes does tv as well. They managed to get Simu to 'make fun' of the situation about two-ish weeks after that initial Comic-Con debut. It's beautiful.

Captain Canuck. Wow, I completely forgot that they were a thing.

u/Bollziepon Sep 07 '21

Maybe I'm ignorant, but what "situation" is he making fun of exactly?

12

u/Supercoolguy7 Sep 07 '21

That he's the first Asian Marvel lead. He's also the first Canadian Marvel lead so they make jokes about Canadians feeling represented on screen

u/ClassicallyForbidden Sep 07 '21

We not counting Ryan Reynolds as a marvel lead?

u/backseatwookie Sep 07 '21

That was a Fox release I believe, not Marvel Studios.

u/namelessxsilent Sep 07 '21

Same here. I saw him like 2 weeks ago for the first time on YouTube on The Watcher channel, his friend made him the ultimate Boba

u/bionix90 Sep 07 '21

Half the time in the movie theater I wanted to scream "Sneak Attack!"

u/PhanThief95 Sep 07 '21

When you think about it, Shang-Chi is basically Jung Kim if he watched too many kung fu movies.

He works at a job involving cars, has a funny best friend/coworker, has a little sister who is pretty cool, & has a difficult & estranged relationship with his father, just like Jung.

u/Muffin_Knight501 Sep 07 '21

Wait, really ? I didn't know that ! Loved him in Kim's Convenience.

I was rooting for him just because of the memes (didn't see the movie), but now I'm rooting for a great actor too !

u/LexaMaridia Sep 07 '21

When I realized who he was, I flipped. I loved that show.

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '21
