Amazing! We got just a glimpse of Master Kim in S5, and now we’ll see more! And note: how cool is it that journalists are now calling Kim Sun-Yung “iconic”?https://t.co/J3gCor1jCY

This is great. I’m a big fan of C.S. Lee, from his time on#Dexter! Gotta be for flashbacks. He’s only 51 years old. So i doubt he’d be playing the Cobra Kai master in present day.#CobraKai#TheKarateKidhttps://t.co/N0ZYx21b2w

If Kreese is the “Darth Vader” of the Karate Kid universe, and Silver is the emperor, then who would Kim Sun-Yung be???…. THANOS!!! 😯🤗

Clearly, the fans are hyped for the inclusion of the legendary actor playing the iconic role in the series. The character has yet to make a full-length appearance in the franchise. Given that shooting for the show is expected to start in the first quarter of 2024, fans can rest assured that the character will receive an adequate amount of screen time before the show’s final series releases in 2025.

What can we expect fromCobra KaiSeason 6?
In the last season ofCobra Kai, which premiered in September of 2022, The Miyagi Do Dojo and Eagle Fang Dojo found themselves in some hot water. After Cobra Kai managed to steal the victory in the All Valley Tournament, Terry Silver took the dojo across the valley under his wing, but not before enlisting a star sensei from South Korea: Kim Da Eun.
Kim D Eun is the granddaughter of CS Lee’s character, Master Kim Sun-Young. In the in-universe narrative of the character, Young was part of an effort to teach American soldiers unarmed combat during the Second World War. The character is also credited for the creation of ‘The Way of the Fist’, a ruthless style of close-quarters hand-to-hand combat.
