Sung Kang (Korean: Kang Sung-Ho; Korean: 강성호; born April 8, 1972) is aKorean American actor, known for his role as Han Seoul-Oh in the film Better Luck Tomorrow and The Fast and the Furious franchise.[1]

Life and career[edit]

Kang was born Gainesville, Georgia, to South Korean immigrants.[2] He is married to Miki Yim. [3] His first major role was in Better Luck Tomorrow, in which he played Han, an aloof gang member. He was one of the stars in The Motel, in which he played Sam Kim. He became a recurring character in his role of Han in The Fast and the Furious film series, appearing in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6 and Fast & Furious 7. He also had a role in Jet Li's film War playing an FBI agent, and was featured as Doran, a son of Genghis Khan, in the movie Forbidden Warrior. On MADtv, Sung has played the recurring role of the narcissistic President Gin Kew Yun Chun Yew Nee in the Korean drama parody, "Tae Do (Attitudes and Feelings, Both Desirable and Sometimes Secretive)." Kang also had a small role in the action movie Live Free or Die Hard. In 2013, Kang appeared as Detective Taylor Kwon in Walter Hill's movie Bullet to the Head(2013), opposite Sylvester Stallone.
Kang is featured in the music video "Lie" for the Korean band g.o.d.
He owned a restaurant called Saketini in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California which closed in early 2013.[4]
Kang says that before he was cast as Han in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift he was unaware of the drifting culture that existed in Japan. It was not until he began researching for the part that he perfected his skills in this popular sport which is a global craze.[5]
