Quotes

Daniel Dae Kim

Actor and executive producer

“That’s what I speak to my parents, and you’ll see in later episodes that one of the characters will criticize David’s level of Korean, and that was also an intentional choice, because very often, there’s the assumption that because you live in America and you’re of Korean descent, you speak perfect Korean.”

“Growing up and being an immigrant family from Korea, the words ‘I love you’ weren’t very often said, but the way my parents showed their love is by asking if I had eaten or preparing a meal as soon as they got home.”
