Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, who plays Mr. Kim/Appa, is ten years younger than Jean Yoon, who plays the wife/mother, Mrs. Kim/Umma.
The interior set of the titular location is an exact replica of a real downtown Toronto corner store, Mimi Variety.
Based on the successful 2011 play, which was a fringe production.
Renewed for a sixth season, but plans were canceled and the fifth season became the last when creators Ins Choi and Kevin White left for other projects.
The actual store used for the exterior that changed its name to Kim's Convenience is located at 252 Queen St E, Toronto, ON M5A 1S3.
