IRVINE, Calif., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Joined by his
parents and a small group of friends, Kim, a huge fan and guest of
the Boomers park in Irvine, scaled
the rock-climbing wall, drove go-karts, played air hockey and
crammed in as much time as he could playing many of the arcade
games.
"Unexpectedly, the Minari actor, Alan
Kim, gave our Boomers Parks a shoutout on The Tonight Show
Starring Jimmy Fallon explaining what Boomers is as he wanted to
have his 9th birthday at our family entertainment park," said
Tim Murphy, Boomers CEO. "So, we
literally did everything in our power to provide Alan a birthday
wish come true as he told Jimmy
Fallon. Also, we wanted to give Alan a day he would not soon
forget with us at our Boomers park in Irvine, California. Alan brought our park
great energy and it was wonderful seeing Alan, his friends and
family enjoy our park."
Kim, a third-grader, plays the role of David Y in the movie who
has a heart condition and finds himself with his first-generation
American-Korean family living in rural Arkansas. Actress Yuh-Jung Youn plays Kim's aging and adoring
grandmother in the film. She made history as the first Korean to
win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Kim has
already made a name for himself with the film after he won the
Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2020 Sundance Film
Festival. Kim's next project is starring in Latchkey Kids, an
independent film due out later this year.
Boomers is open 50% capacity and has implemented an
unprecedented set of safety protocols to exceed state and local
requirements. Murphy said Boomers Parks are creating an industry
standard to ensure team members and guests, like the Kim family,
are protected. The company has shared a series of safety videos on
their websites detailing extraordinary efforts to sanitize from the
time guests arrive until they leave. All team members receive
training and daily health and safety briefings.
