Gold House recently hosted its third annual One House Toast to the Emmys, a celebration recognizing the contributions of Asian Pacific and multicultural creatives within the entertainment industry. The evening prominently honored "Beef" showrunner Lee Sung Jin. His acclaimed Netflix anthology series garnered an impressive 16 Emmy nominations, securing three wins at the Creative Arts Emmys. This significant recognition positions Lee as the first Asian television creator to achieve multiple nominations for writing, directing, and producing the same series, a feat he has accomplished twice.
During the event, Gold House co-founder Bing Chen lauded Lee's multi-hyphenate talent, describing his work as essential to understanding humanity and our flaws. Lee, in turn, shared personal anecdotes about the making of "Beef." He recalled how he secured Charles Melton for Season 2 after a brief pitch at one of Chen's events and highlighted the dedication of actress Seoyeon Jang, who hired a stretching coach for months in preparation for a scene.
The One House Toast aligns with Gold House's ongoing commitment to reshaping representation for Asian Pacific and multicultural individuals both on-screen and behind the camera. The organization actively provides industry research, cultural consultation, investments, and marketing support. Key partners for the evening included Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business, Genesis Motor America, the Asian entertainment streamer Viki, and WME.
