Stand Up, Yumi Chung!

On Sunday, Mr. Chung happily installs a disco ball above the karaoke stage. The restaurant will be featuring a Grand Reopening to draw new customers. At the same time, Mrs. Chung receives a call from Mrs. Pak stating that Yumi’s test scores are improving. Yumi is on the verge of telling her parents that she’s getting a hagwon award to lure them to the comedy showcase when the landlord, Mr. Montgomery, arrives.

He apologetically says he may have to lease the restaurant space to new tenants if the Chungs don’t pay their back rent. Mr. Chung assures him that the reopening will attract plenty of new business, but the landlord can only give them a week to make their back payments. Yumi is worried about her family’s future and texts Yuri repeatedly but never gets a reply.

Yumi is determined to talk to her sister, so she boards a bus and tracks her down at the UCLA campus, where Yuri works as a coffeehouse barista. When the two sisters finally talk, Yuri seems unmoved by the family’s dilemma until Yumi reveals her own problems at comedy camp.
