Han had one of the best quotes in Tokyo Drift. Loved his character ever since. "I have money, it's trust and character I need around me. You know, who you choose to be around you lets you know who you are. One car in exchange for knowing what a man's made of? That's a price I can live with." - Han

[@Heyitsallgoodman]

Top quote from the whole movie

[@BeanieNinjay0]

Top quote, and most ironic quote today is “watchu think? I’m gonna let you drive a Hyundai?” Today: “well, sure.”

[@BilalMalek]

The podcast was hilarious, Sung Kang is definitely one of my favorite guests on the podcast so far.

[@Rentle553motions]

Check out his Camino on TJ Hunts videos

[@totalsnitch]

Han's quote from Tokyo Drift is one of the more important in my life. Sure its cliche, but somehow it made an impact on me and will stay with me til I die. 'Life's simple. You make choices and you don't look back.' Not to mention it follows another great quote by him that someone else commented.

[@theacehavin7918]

That quote makes a lot of sense once you watch "Better Luck Tomorrow"

[@Rafael.F28]

I fully agree the first time I watched the movie that line stuck with me and as I grew up and rewatched the movies once a year I really came to realize that its so true

[@Che1seabluesdrogba11]

Sung is such a super chill car guy, very passionate. was hoping this would happen at some point and it became a reality. Keep it up Matt and crew 👍👍

[@jamesbarker5254]

From what I can tell being famous and a fan favorite in the FF collection of movies hasnt changed Sung at all. He seems to be a really relaxed and chill dude. I think it would be so cool to grab a drink with him I bet hes got some crazy behind the scenes stories from all of the movies he has done.

[@dan.r9220]

Someone tried to sell me a 200 dollar windshield on my 1000 dollar 1995 legacy. I told them, well when it breaks ill just buy a new car. The stare they had still makes me laugh.

[@mjmont92]

The Saturn Ion I had in high school was valued at -$400 (yes, negative) and a new windshield cost $550.

[@TrashHeapCustodian]

You're making me have to confront the money I've dumped in to this CRX I bought for $500 and then again for $1500 and it's not giving me good feelings lmfao (Bought twice because I sold it to a friend, he fixed some shit, I bought it back)

[@cafuune]

one of the best interviews i've ever watched. Sung is such a genuine nice guy!

[@kenjikaroshi2132]

How is this NOT the best car podcast episode of ALL TIME!?!??!!

[@josephwalter6672]

13:20 this story reminds me of a car story my dad told me about. My parents had a mustang2 as a extra car. It was an old car that they wanted to get rid of but didn't really have the time to deal with it. They parked the in front of their house for the winter in Chicago before a major snow storm (kept the new car in the garage). The day after the storm there was a giant snow pile in front of the house and assumed the car was under the snow. no worries, they never drove it anyway. Snow melts, no car. check the mailbox and inside was a ticket and info for where the car was towed. In the paper work was a date for when the car would be crushed, set for a few days prior.

[@jamesbarker5254]

Man Sung I so chill. I wish this was like 8 hrs long instead of 2 i couldve listen to this all day. I would seriously love to chill with him.

[@stevemcvay2220]

Super cool dude. Glad you had him on the pod cuz it really opened my eyes to him and how cool he really is.

[@FadedGlory4532]

Very genuine guy. He’s a very normal person unlike most other actors.

[@tech4054]

This is one of my favorite podcast episodes ever. When he talks about his mom and the Notary Public I definitely couldn’t keep from laughing.

[@TheSlow281]

"The Bean Bandits' So that must be where Kenichi Sonoda came up for the name for one of his Manga protagonist "Bean Bandit, The Roadbuster". Thank You Sung Kang!!! I actually never got that reference!

[@MARLITITA1]

sung is my favorite very simple and nice excellent actor I love it,I wish they would focus more on him in other projects because he is very good

[@DirtDude117]

50:35 "He just leased an Avalon! It has TRD on the back, I don't know what that means but" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's my Jewish mother 2000%

[@juliantran4081]

I knew there was a reason why Sung was my favorite actor in the FF franchise

[@malikcampbell7397]

Honestly a great guy hope he does more interviews

[@adrian_2586]

Sung should be a stand up comedian. Great at telling stories, Hilarious.

[@SupThomas]

Amazing interview and conversation. Sung’s humility towards cars was really cool to see, such a genuine guy! Loved hearing about his transition from Better Luck Tomorrow to Tokyo Drift.

"I wanna get a car, I wanna get a car. Hey relax son, the car comes to you. " This is beautiful and speaks to me as I'm in search of a drift car 🙏🏽 thinking I need to rush rush rush when it'll be there for me when the time comes.

[@where-we-roam]

This was a great episode. Don't know why I missed it the first run around. Funny stories from everyone all around. Sung Kang was an awesome guest. Wish the Viceroy was the $500 Matt estimated. €750 is a bit steep.

Han in the movie: Go 200 mph in an LFA with Gal Gadot on his lap for fun Han in real life: Drives a 100hp Datsun cause "I gotta get home, gotta wife", that's all he needs They need to stop adding explosions to fast and furious movies, all of it was always unrealistic but it's become a joke, that LFA scene however is sort of a bucket list item which inspires peoples ambitions

[@ams914]

FF franchise has been a meathead joke for the last 6 of those things LOL. They are basically comedies, IMO. You're a bit late suggesting they return to realism, LOL!

[@アマ-p2l]

@@ams914 true, you can only laugh about it because it's ridiculous but they can always go back, they can make something like tokyo drift 2 or just return to their roots. the reason they don't is because they claim the BS movies are more successful than the original ones, it's easy to make these claims because they never actually tried making the movies about cars instead of explosions (again) so you can't tell if the BS is more successful than the car stuff.

[@aftrnoon_ac]

@@アマ-p2l Wrong! His Datsun is around 200-300 HP

[@アマ-p2l]

@@aftrnoon_ac Yeah I thought so, so they were just joking about the HP, but go and tell someone your car has 200-300 hp today, they won't be impressed even if it's plenty for a lightweight car. Point is he could buy something much faster and base model luxury cars come with more HP than that nowadays. Obv. the power/weight ratio is more important than HP but Idk how many are aware of that. The datsun is about fun and handling, not speed.

My daughter wrote a letter about how much she loved our Miata and we left it in the glove box, and several owners later it was still with the car and the kid tracked me down and said he was going to plate it "Violet" because of the letter.

My buddy had a '91 Tercel and that thing was unstoppable. He bought it with 90k miles and put another 200k miles on it. All he ever had to do to it was change the oil and it was so light he only replaced the brakes once while he owned it. It probably would have done 500k miles easily, if not more, if it didn't start to rust out.
