Cho

After an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 years frozen in one spot, Nun cho ga is again on the move — this time, being carried across the country to Ottawa by a delegation of Indigenous elders.Nun cho ga is the name that was given to the almost perfectly-preserved baby mammoth that was dug up by a miner in 2022 near Dawson City, Yukon.The rare find made headlines around the world and excited local paleontologists as it was deemed to be the first whole baby mammoth to be found in North America, and the second in the world. The…

Margaret Cho isn’t the only comedy legend to hail from the Bay, but she might be the angriest. She grew up in the Ocean Beach neighborhood of San Francisco, and began her comedy career doing sets at a local club across from the bookstore her family owned on Polk and California streets. After a few years in stand-up, Cho got her big break as the star of “All-American Girl,” a 1994 ABC sitcom based on her comedy routine. While the show was canceled after a short run, and some disruptions to her career ensued, Cho is a…

South Korean author Cho Nam-joo’s novel Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 was an international bestseller that highlighted the deeply entrenched sexism faced by women in South Korean society. It was sharp-toothed and well timed, becoming part of the cultural kindling that sparked the South Korean #MeToo movement.In Saha, Cho has once again drawn attention to a quietly accepted societal ill: here, the exploited underclass that keeps the economy running. Saha is a dystopian vision of an authoritarian, hyper-capitalist country strictly…

A telling snapshot from the young life of John Cho. He is at college, majoring in English Literature when a drama company commandeers the campus theatre to mount a production of Woman Warrior, based on the best-selling memoir by Maxine Hong Kingston. There is, however, a caveat. In return for the use of the theatre the production company is required to cast a few college students. Enter Cho, who scores a small role. The die is cast.“It was the first time I met professional Asian actors,” Cho recalls. “Frankly, I didn’t…

For what it’s worth, John Cho is sorry. “Listen, I’ve sent my letters of apology to all the nations of the world.” In fairness to him, he wasn’t the one to coin the term “milf” – only the one to popularise it, thanks to a small but notorious part in 1999’s American Pie. More than two decades later, the raunchy comedy’s legacy – including that catchy epithet for sexy mums – is lasting. “I’m sorry I unleashed that,” Cho jokes as he appears on Zoom. At 50, the actor looks scarcely older than he did playing a high-schooler…

Over a two-decade-long career, John Cho has broken many glass ceilings. He has been the first Asian-American actor to headline a mainstream Hollywood thriller (Searching) and the first Asian-American actor to play lead in a rom com TV series (Selfie). And of course, there are roles in Star Trek, American Pie and the Harold and Kumar franchises. The actor is soon adding some more diversity to that filmography with his upcoming dramedy Don’t Make Me Go--a sweet story of the bond between a father and his daughter. John and…

As I’ve said elsewhere, although I dig the official in-game dance emotes for Bella Poarch‘s “Build a B*tch” and Rick Astley‘s “Never Gonna Give You Up,” I don’t normally like to play Fortnite. But hey, as a self-admitted patsy for corporate crossover events (bring back Amalgam Comics, please!)—I decided to read the June issue, Fortnite X Marvel: Zero War #1, written by Christos Gage and Epic Games’ Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard and drawn by artist Sergio Davíla. And g-d dammit, I really enjoyed it. Although I…

She’s over 30,000 years old, and yet her preservation is astounding: She has her skin, her tiny tusk nubs, her toenails, and her little tail. She still has tufts of fur, and her trunk—with its prehensile tip—is complete and malleable. Looking at the initial photograph from where she was found at a Yukon gold mine, she looks like she only recently met her demise.Her name is Nun cho ga, a name decided upon by Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Elders.“‘Nun go’ is ‘baby,’” Debbie Nagano, heritage director of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Government…
