Before Simu Liu was cast in the upcoming Barbie movie and before he was Shang-Chi, Liu starred in a sweet sitcom about a Korean family that owned a convenience store in Canada. That show, Kim’s Convenience, ran for five seasons and was almost universally beloved. Now Liu shared a little reunion with two of his co stars from the show.
Recommended Videos“The most amazing catch-up session :),” the Marvel star said. He shared a joyous photo of himself, Andrew Phung (Kimchee) and Paul Sun-Hyung Lee (Mr. Kim). Take a look:

— Simu Liu (@SimuLiu) January 20, 2023Lee is interestingly also a Disney star. He played a rebel fighter pilot in The Mandalorian named Captain Carson Teva. People were pretty delighted to see the dream team back together again.
Appa is Mr. Kim’s nickname on the show. And yes that beard is magnificent.
Looking good all y’all. Loving Appas beard!!
— Aaron (@airtotherun) January 20, 2023This person, like many others, found a particular comfort in the show.
You know how a lot of people watch “FRIENDS” as their comfort show? Well “Kim’s Convenience” is that show for me. I’ve watched it from Start to finish three times already 💀🤷🏼♂️
— Doni (@TheDoniD) January 20, 2023The fans are even pitching movie ideas.
Awesome!
You guys should make a road trip movie with your Kim’s Convenience Store characters. Each has a different goal at the trip’s end, but each goal they worry about if it will be life uplifting or ending. Oh and an independent convenience store assoc. conference on the way!
Oh that’s right! Lee was recently cast in the upcoming live version of Avatar: The Last Airbender as the lovable Uncle Iroh.
A Superhero, an X-Wing pilot (and soon General of the Fire Nation) and that funny Neighbour with a slightly disturbing sneaker fetish. @SimuLiu @bitterasiandude @andrewphung

*sigh* if only season 6 (and a proper series finale) had happened…😔
— Sam Liu (@Wayward_Fanboy) January 20, 2023Seriously just good vibes all around.
This picture makes me incredibly happy and longing for a Kim's Convenience movie. Please! The world needs more of y'all together again.❤️
— Printmaker17 (@printmaker17) January 20, 2023We were all sad about it.
I would love a reunion special where you all talk about the show. We need to give you guys your flowers. As an immigrant to Canada, this show resonated with me. I was sad to see it end.
— Pres. Hotmess (@preshotmess) January 20, 2023Hopefully we get more heartwarming reunions like this one in the near future.
