I am a black woman from Nyc & I was introduced to Kim’s Convenience last year through my sister. When I tell you I binge watched all 4 seasons on Netflix in a weekend!! I couldn’t stop watching. Such a good show!! I’m saddened that it’s coming to an end!! Something has to happen!! The show runners are buggin!!

It makes me so sad to know how hard the cast members had to fight for their voices and accurate + respectful portrayals while filming. I hope these stars know that revealing their struggles with scripts/producers/cultural inaccuracies on set is such a helpful and honorable thing to do. It's clear that these actors are knowledgeable and each have their own impressive paths - I am rooting for you each all the way.

Get new producers that would represent the story and the cast better. Obviously, the old producers bailed out on a show they did not believe in. What would a new set of writers be able to accomplish if they did believe in this show entirely?

If Kim's Convenience were to end on a proper high note, at least make a movie to wrap it up. Especially for the whole Kim family to be reunited and reconciled. Hoping that happens. #OKSeeYou

I will miss it as it was a comedy with 'heart', and the most-diverse casting in any TV program or film EVER. Good luck to all involved in this programme [as Canadians would put it] and please know I am so SORE-Y [also Canadian-speak] I will no longer get to see further adventures of the Kim Family. Thank-you, everyone.

I've noticed he doesn't mention Kim's Convenience in any of his Shang-Chi interviews.

Must be a really sore point for him still.

Honestly. Ins Choi is the creator and writer of the show. The show is based on his life, based on his experiences and challenging hardships and heart warming memories as a Korean Canadian. If he decides its over, its over. Simple as that. He literally announced that he was all out and that forcing a 6th season would diminish the quality. So he wished to quit and move on to other things. He started it, be ended it. All of those self entitled folks in the audience that blame the creators would be the first to hate on the show if the 6th season came out weak. Thats the reality. Thank you for an amazing show, Ins Choi. Kims Convenience wont be forgotten.

@@bunmeng007 ines choi who is the creative director and official creator of the show said that she just didnt have any passion for kims convenience anymore. her and the producers ultimately agreed to pull the plug. she also said due to that lack if inspiration even the last season wasnt her best and didnt hold up to the standard as the rest of the show. so instead of doing a final half assed show that will have mediocre quality because she lost her passion she decided to end it with the recently released season. thats all official statements made by the creators. thats better than doing a half asses, loveless closure season in my book. they dont have to shoot a final season for closure for the fans. at the end of the day this isnt charity but a business. if they are burned out they dont have to return to it. this is a business and the creators are human beings like you and me. if they want to move on evolve to other things then so be it. we as an audience made them successful by watching and they as creators entertained us with their work. its a transaction, nothing more nothing less. Im not saying you specifically are one of them. but I just cant stand people that are self entitled and think the creators owe them anything beyond what they delivered. some people act as if they own the networks these shows run on which is ridiculous.
