‘Kim’s Convenience’ cast members slam ‘racist’ storylines
NY Post
A show once lauded for its lighthearted depiction of Korean-Canadian culture is now under attack by its own stars.
The CBC show “Kim’s Convenience” recently aired its fifth and final season on Netflix. But while its creator, Korean-Canadian playwright and screenwriter Ins Choi, sought to convey the ups and downs of a Korean immigrant family running a convenience store in Toronto, the show’s actors were paid a “horsepoop rate” and experienced a “painful” lack of diversity in production and “overtly racist” storylines, online posts by cast members claim. Meanwhile, white actress Nicole Power’s character Shannon Ross will be getting a spinoff, castmate Simu Liu, 32, wrote in a lengthy Facebook post.More Related News
