Miki Yim has been married to Fast & Furious actor Sung Kang for years, yet she remains one of Hollywood’s most private figures. No social media accounts. No red carpet appearances. No interviews. While her husband plays Han Lue in one of cinema’s biggest franchises, Yim has built a life completely separate from the spotlight.

The Verified Facts
Yim married Sung Kang, the Korean-American actor born April 8, 1972, in Clarkston, Georgia. His Wikipedia and IMDb pages confirm the marriage but offer no additional details about his wife.
The couple co-owned Saketini, an Asian fusion restaurant at 150 S Barrington Avenue in Brentwood, Los Angeles. Customer reviews on Foursquare and Yelp from 2011 and 2012 describe a small, cozy establishment serving Asian-inspired dishes with 50% discounts during select hours. Diners occasionally met Kang at the restaurant. The business has since closed.
They have no children. In 2009, Kang appeared at the Bangkok International Film Festival with two children later identified as his niece and nephew.
Sung Kang’s Career
Kang started acting after attending the University of California, Riverside, where he chose performance over law school. Director Justin Lin cast him as Han in the 2002 independent film Better Luck Tomorrow.
Lin brought the character back for The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift in 2006. Han died at the film’s end, but fan response prompted Lin to feature the character in Fast & Furious (2009), Fast Five (2011), and Fast & Furious 6 (2013) as prequels to Tokyo Drift.
A social media campaign called #JusticeForHan, started by Los Angeles Times reporter Jen Yamato, pushed for the character’s return. Kang reprised the role in F9 (2021) and Fast X (2023).
He’s also appeared in films like War (2007), Bullet to the Head (2013), and provided voice work for Raya and the Last Dragon (2021). Television roles include Power and the Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi. In 2020, he launched a YouTube channel called “Sung’s Garage” focused on car culture. He directed his first film, the horror comedy Shaky Shivers, while waiting between acting jobs.
The Interview Record
Kang has given dozens of interviews to outlets including The Hollywood Reporter, Esquire, South China Morning Post, and Inverse. He discusses representation of Asian-Americans in Hollywood, his friendship with director Justin Lin, drift racing, and his directing ambitions.
He does not discuss his wife or personal life. Interviews from 2013, 2021, 2023, and 2024 focus exclusively on his professional work.
The Restaurant Business
Saketini served Asian fusion cuisine and cocktails. The location featured outdoor seating with heat lamps. Parking was difficult. Reviews noted the friendly service and discounted menu items during lunch and dinner periods.
The restaurant operated at least between 2011 and 2012 based on dated customer reviews. Neither Kang nor Yim has publicly discussed why they closed the business.
Living Without Visibility
Yim maintains no Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn profiles. She does not attend film premieres or industry events with her husband. No joint photos appear in entertainment media coverage of Kang’s career.
This approach differs significantly from most celebrity marriages, where spouses often build public profiles through social media, red carpet appearances, or their own career publicity.
For context, Kang’s Fast & Furious co-stars regularly post about their families and relationships. Vin Diesel shares photos with his partner and children. Michelle Rodriguez discusses her personal life in interviews. Tyrese Gibson posts extensively about his daughter.
Kang does none of this. His Instagram focuses on cars, film work, and his YouTube channel. His interviews stick to professional topics. The boundary between public career and private life stays firm.
What This Means
The scarcity of verified information about Yim has led to widespread speculation online. Numerous websites publish biographical details about her education, career, and background. These articles frequently cite each other rather than primary sources.
When checked against credible journalism outlets, celebrity databases, and official records, most of these claims cannot be verified.
What remains is a simple truth: some people married to public figures choose not to become public figures themselves. Yim appears to be one of them. While Kang’s career requires visibility, hers does not. While he gives interviews, she does not. While he walks red carpets, she stays home.
After more than 20 years in Hollywood, Kang has successfully kept his marriage private. That takes work. It means declining joint interviews, skipping couple photo opportunities, and avoiding social media posts about home life. Most celebrities don’t maintain these boundaries. Kang and Yim do.
Their approach raises a question about modern celebrity culture: when does public curiosity cross into intrusion? Kang built his career in public view. His wife did not. She made no bargain with fame. She simply married someone who did.
