TORONTO - Two stars of the soon-to-be-finished series “Kim’s Convenience” are each getting their own show, one of which is a spinoff created by the showrunner of the CBC hit comedy. Calgary-raised Phung, who played Kimchee on “Kim’s,” will star in “Run the Burbs” as a stay-at-home dad with an entrepreneur wife and two kids. “Kim’s Convenience” stars Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Jean Yoon, Simu Liu and Andrea Bang as a Korean-Canadian family who run a corner store in Toronto. “Kim’s Convenience” debuted in 2016 and is based on the award-winning play by Choi.
