Sung Kang, best known for playing Han Lue in the Fast & Furious franchise, has sparked curiosity about his ethnicity, with some fans wondering if he is half Black.
Kang, born on April 8, 1972, in Clarkston, Georgia, is Korean-American, with both biological parents being South Korean immigrants.
He was raised by his Korean mother and an African American stepfather in Gainesville, Georgia, which has led to some confusion about his heritage.
Social media posts on X have addressed this, with users noting that Kang’s blended family background, including his African American stepfather, might explain the speculation.
Fans are also reacting to an X post after a user asked, “Wait he’s black ?!?????”. There have been several comments on the post.
Kang has embraced his Korean roots, speaking Korean in roles like Gang Related and MADtv. His multicultural upbringing in the American South shaped his perspective, but his ethnic heritage remains fully Korean.
