On Saturday, January 6th, Netflix and 626 Night Market kicked off a special two-day, free-to-attend event in Arcadia, to celebrate the launch of THE BROTHERS SUN.

Cast members in attendance at The Brothers Sun x 626 Night Market Pop Up Mini included Michelle Yeoh, Justin Chien, Sam Song Li, Highdee Kuan, Joon Lee, Alice Hewkin, Jon Xue Zhang, Jenny Yang and Madison Hu, as well as Byron Wu (Co-creator, Executive Producer, Writer), Kevin Tanchareon (Director, Executive Producer) and Mikkel Bondesen (Executive Producer).

626 Night Market takes its name from the 626 area code in the San Gabriel Valley, and is inspired by the famous open-air nighttime bazaars of Asia. This special pop-up 626 Night Market featured over three dozen food, art and merchandise vendors, celebrating the local community in the San Gabriel Valley where The Brothers Sun was filmed.

In remarks to the crowd, 626 Night Market’s Van Quiambao expressed “All of us at 626 Night Market are thrilled to partner with Netflix on celebrating with this special show that showcases our beloved San Gabriel Valley, and especially with all of you that are part of our 626 community.”

Saturday’s event was sold out with 20,000 signups, and consumers were treated to a surprise performance by GRV Dance Crew, who also appear in the series, followed by a cast introduction on-stage by co-creator Byron Wu.

When asked about celebrating with the 626 community at the event, Byron Wu shared, “We set out from the beginning to make a show that takes place in the 626, and highlights this community. When I first moved to Los Angeles, I lived in Hacienda Heights and I looked around and it was such a vibrant place. It’s so specific and there’s so many amazing things about it that have never been seen on television. It deserves a place and seeing all these fans so excited about the show is wonderful. That’s why we do it.”

Michelle Yeoh addressed the crowd with warm words, “Thank you San Gabriel Valley for all your love and cooperation that made it possible for us to film here and have such a great time. We had too much good food and we were all worried we wouldn’t fit into our costumes, but somehow we figured it out.”

Food vendors featured items named after characters from the series, and guests experienced branded photo opps, giveaways of “Soupreme” t-shirts, and churros. The pop-up event continues on Sunday for Day 2 and is expected to sell out.

THE BROTHERS SUN is available globally NOW on Netflix as of Thursday, January 4, 2024.
