Andrew Phung laughed his way into Canadian hearts for his portrayal of KimChee on Kim’s Convenience. Following its controversial conclusion, he took matters into his own hands, giving us the gift of Run The Burbs, a CBC Gem creation with the same love and laughter fans came to expect from Kim’s Convenience. Season two of Run The Burbs was released on CBC on January 4th and, to celebrate, the Run The Burbs team is giving Torontonians a true gift: Bubble Bae, IRL.
About the Bubble Bae pop up
From January 12th to 21st, the Run The Burbs team will be bringing the Bubble Bae magic to the streets of the GTA, serving up the beloved beverage in different areas across the city. The pop-up was announced on the show’s official Instagram page, and the locations are announced daily via the account’s stories.
The sweet drink will be offered to passersby free of charge, with the location changing regularly. And, of course, the celebration would not be complete without a few celeb pop-ups: the show’s cast, including Phung (a proud Torontonian, and the creator and star of the show), will be making appearances throughout the span of the Bubble Bae pop-up. Phung himself will also repost the locations to his own Instagram page.
