About Kim’s Convenience
Kim’s Convenience follows a Korean family-owned store and serves as a tribute to the generations of immigrants who have played a vital role in shaping Canada into the nation it is today. Mr. Kim puts in dedicated effort to provide for his wife and kids through his convenience store in Toronto. While he contemplates what lies ahead, he grapples with the evolving neighbourhood dynamics and the differences between his own values and those held by his children, who were born in Canada. Written by and featuring Ins Choi, Choi describes Kim’s Convenience as his heartfelt tribute to his parents and all the first-generation immigrants who consider Canada their homeland.
