Tony Moon immigrated from Germany at five, grew up in Hollywood through the LA of the 1980s, and was nineteen when the Rodney King verdict came down. The internet later claimed him as one of the original Rooftop Koreans, a meme he didn't know existed until 2020. His account complicates it. He argues there were three separate riots that week, not one, and that what happened in Koreatown was not what the popular narrative says. He talks about the friend who called only him, the older uncles pushing cars into a perimeter on Olympic and New Hampshire, and why the story has to be written down before the people who lived it are gone.
We also get into his book, out next month, and his two answers at the end: his best choice was faith, his worst was joining a gang at fourteen. He refuses to excuse it... here on the Drink of Choice.
Drink of Choice is a long-form interview podcast hosted by restaurateur Sid Kim and entertainment lawyer Han Kim. Every guest arrives with a drink that means something to them, and that drink becomes the doorway into a much larger conversation. Built around Asian and Asian-American voices that don't always get a seat at the table, Drink of Choice is intimate, unhurried, and long overdue.
