Did anyone catch Ken Jeong on Conan last night? Hilarious. I still can’t get over that Serena Williams jab.

The Community star is in extreme demand in Hollywood, so we’re so thrilled to announce that he has made time to accept an award at KoreAm‘s annual “Unforgettable” gala in November. If you’re coming, get ready for some funny.

We’ll be announcing more “Unforgettable” hosts and award recipients soon.

Friday’s Link Attack: Ken Jeong, Chinese Wannabe Ken Jeong, More

‘Hangover II’ Star Ken Jeong Becomes a Billion-Dollar Star The Hollywood Reporter “The times, they are a-changin’,” says Ken Jeong, the unlikely star whose movies Transformers: Dark of the Moon and The Hangover Part II collectively broke the billion-dollar mark this week in global grosses. His new comedy Zookeeper is expected to add another $20 million domestically when it opens this weekend. “Ken is one of the most fearless comic actors I’ve ever worked with,” Hangover director Todd Phillips tells The Hollywood Reporter. “There’s such a danger to him. Anything can happen when you see him in a movie, and audiences feel that. I’d envisioned Mr. Chow as an older character, but I saw a YouTube video Ken made and said, ‘We’ve got to see this guy.’ In the script, we had him in slacks with no shoes or shirt. Ken said, ‘Y’know, maybe it would be funny if I did it naked.’ We slipped a nudity waiver under his door, ‘cause we were shooting it the next day. Ken will do anything. It’s one of the all-time great comic entrances.” 5 Amazing LA Korean Spots and What to Order PopSugar Here are five Korean restaurants in Los Angeles that “Kimchi Chronicles” host Marja Vongerichten recommends. Saving his best for laughs Los Angeles Times No joke: American stand-up comic Joe Wong used to be Xi Huang, a Chinese biochemist. He decided he’d rather tickle funny bones than decode genes. FIFA bans two North Korean women for failing dope test CNN World football’s governing body FIFA announced Thursday that two players from the North Korea side have been provisionally suspended from the Women’s World Cup after failing dope tests. Haute Korean Moves Into Chanterelle Space This Fall New York Magazine’s GrubStreet Jung Sik Yim is the chef behind Jung Sik Dang, a Seoul restaurant known for “unusual flavor combinations, high-end ingredients, and a white-tablecloth mind-set.” Now reps for Yim have confirmed that the 55-seat outpost planned for Tribeca — to be called Jung Sik — will be a similar experience, and will open in the fall. Starving North Korea faces suspicious donors Los Angeles Times Humanitarian groups warn that about 6 million North Koreans face severe food shortages but international donors say they want better oversight before giving more, alleging that most aid is diverted by the regime. Couple arrested on suspicion of extorting Chinese immigrants Los Angeles Times A Hacienda Heights man who operated an illegal nightclub and allegedly extorted members of the San Gabriel Valley’s Chinese community has been arrested and charged with animal cruelty, child endangerment and drug and illegal weapons possession, authorities said Friday. Sheng Hui Chen, 38, and his wife, Yulan Hu, 31, of Hacienda Heights, both Chinese nationals who entered the United States on tourist visas, were arrested and charged after an investigation that began with allegations of extortion and illegal weapon possession, said Sgt. Steve Kim of the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department. South Koreans Balk at Saturdays Without School BusinessWeek Chung Eunjung, a mother of two sons in Seoul, says South Korea’s plan to give children extra playtime by ending Saturday classes means only one thing: more private tutoring. On June 14, President Lee Myung Bak’s government announced it would recommend that Korea’s schools end the Saturday classes, a feature of school life since the 1950s. Most schools now hold classes for four hours on two Saturdays a month. President Lee wants Koreans to consume more, and he hopes to wean the school system off its obsession with standardized tests. He figures giving kids and families the weekend off would help achieve both goals. Judging penis size by comparing index, ring fingers Los Angeles Times A new South Korean urology study found a correlation between index finger to ring finger ratio and penis size. Penis length cannot be determined by how big his hands or feet are — those and other supposed indicators have been widely discredited for years. But now a team of Korean researchers has produced what may be a more reliable guide: the ratio of the length of his index finger to that of his ring finger. The lower that ratio, the longer the penis may be, the researchers wrote Monday in the Asian Journal of Andrology. Check out the new video for David Choi’s “By My Side” after the jump: …
