Korean-American actor Daniel Dae-Hyun (Kim Dae-hyun), who appeared in’Hellboy’ and’Spider-Man 2′, appeared on CNN broadcasting and confessed that her younger sister also suffered racial discrimination.
Daniel Kim appeared on CNN’s’Quomo Prime Time’ on the 17th (local time) and told about the serial shootings and murders in Atlanta. He is familiar with Korean audiences through the American ABC drama’Lost’ starring with Kim Yoon-jin. Kim is an American who was born in Busan in 1968 and immigrated to the United States when he was two years old and became a naturalized American.
On the 16th, 21-year-old white male Robert Aaron Long killed 6 Asian women including 4 Koreans and 2 whites in Atlanta, Georgia.
U.S. law enforcement officials have yet to say that Long’s crime is racially hateful, but many Asian Americans are afraid of hate crimes that have soared with the outbreak of the corona19 virus last year.
Kim revealed that his younger sister was also a victim of racist crimes in 2015.
Kim explained that while his sister was running near the residence, a man drove up to her and yelled at her to go to the sidewalk rather than the shoulder. His sister went to India as the man said, but the perpetrator reversed the car and hit her sister by car.

Kim’s sister told the perpetrator,’You just hit me by car’, but the man reversed the car and hit the running sister by car again.
Daniel Kim pointed out that in the case of his younger sister at the time, the district attorney did not take into account any racial hate crime.
“The perpetrator had a record of violence against another Asian woman, but the prosecutor told my sister it wasn’t a hate crime, and eventually indicted the perpetrator for careless driving.” No one helped my sister with just justice.”
Sheriff Jay Baker, investigating the Atlanta serial shootings, tried to sell an anti-Chinese t-shirt saying that suspect Long had a “bad day” and that the coronavirus came from China last year. It also revealed that Long’s motive for crime was not hatred, but sexual impulse. When Kim saw this behavior of the American police, Kim resentfully said that he had recalled the case of his younger sister.
Kim said on the broadcast, “This is our history,” and “I am skeptical that there is no connection between race and this crime.”
