- YEAH. - WOW.

- YEAH, IT WAS--

I USUALLY TRY NOT TO TELL OTHER COLLEAGUES

OR OTHER PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY THIS,

BUT I'M EXTREMELY LUCKY.

IT WAS MY SECOND AUDITION IN L.A.

- IT'S MEANT TO BE. THAT'S GREAT.

JUST TRUST THAT. - I HOPE SO.

- YEAH, JUST TRUST IT.

BUT YOU'RE ON A SHOW THAT MANY PEOPLE GET KILLED,

SO YOU COULD GET KILLED.

- YEAH, YEAH. - YOU NEVER KNOW.

SO IT'S GOOD THAT YOU'RE GRATEFUL RIGHT NOW.

- [laughs]

- AND WHERE YOU BORN?

- I WAS BORN IN SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA.

- AND THEN AT WHAT AGE DID YOU MOVE HERE?

- WE MOVED TO REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN.

[people cheering]

- WOW. - WHAT?

- THAT IS CRAZY. - WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

[laughter]

YOU SHOULD BE MANNING THE TILLS OVER THERE OR SOMETHING.

IT'S SO COLD OVER THERE.

WE MOVED THERE AND THEN MOVED TO MICHIGAN.

- AND SO YOUR PARENTS--

THEN YOUR PARENTS WERE NOT HAPPY

THAT YOU CHOSE THIS PROFESSION.

- NO, MY PARENTS ARE KOREAN,

AND TRADITIONALLY, THAT FIRST GENERATION

OF KOREAN-AMERICANS AREN'T TOO HAPPY

WITH THE LITTLE CURVEBALL THAT YOU THROW THEM

WHEN YOU'RE A KID, SO...

- AND NOW THEY MUST BE SO PROUD OF YOU.

- OH, NOW THEY JUST HAVE SO MUCH ADVICE,

AND, LIKE--THEY'RE LIKE-- YOU KNOW,

THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE INDUSTRY,

LIKE, "YOU SHOULD DO THIS,

OR LIKE, "YOU SHOULD PART YOUR HAIR THE OTHER WAY."

IT'S LIKE, ALL RIGHT, WHATEVER.

- "YOU SHOULD PART YOUR HAIR THE OTHER WAY"?

- MY DAD WANTED ME TO WEAR SUITS

EVERYWHERE I WENT.

LIKE, JUST--HE'S LIKE, "YOU SHOULD JUST WEAR A SUIT."

I'M LIKE, "I'M GOING TO GET ORANGES."

HE'S LIKE, "YOU SHOULD GET A SUIT.

YOU SHOULD WEAR A SUIT. WHAT IF THEY FIND YOU?"

- WHAT--WHAT IF WHO GETS YOU?

- THE PEOPLE THAT DO THE FINDING OF YOU.

"AND THEN WHAT IF THEY GET YOU AND THEN YOU'RE NOT IN A SUIT?

THEN YOU LOOK STUPID." I WAS LIKE, "ALL RIGHT."

- OH. - "YOU NEED TO HOLD IT DOWN."

- WOW, THAT'S SO GREAT, THOUGH. - YEAH, NO, THEY'RE SO SWEET.

- YEAH, THEY MUST BE SO PROUD.
