Darren & Mo talked with Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who plays Appa on the hit CBC Show, Kim’s Convenience. Now in Season 5. 

  • Kim’s Convenience, the funny, heartfelt story of the Kim family and their downtown Toronto convenience store, returns for a fifth season.
  • While they shot the season through Covid, it is not reflected in the show.
  • Paul has won two Canadian Screen Awards for his role as Appa. During his acceptance speech 3 years ago he spoke about inclusivity:

“Representation matters…because when people see themselves reflected up on the screens, it is an inspiring and a very powerful moment for them. Because it means they’ve moved from the margins into the forefront. It gives them a voice. It gives them hope. Hope is a very empowering thing because it inspires people. When you give people a voice, other people start listening. When people start listening, things start to change.”
