Los Angeles, early 1990s. Minsoo Kang in front of an “AMERICA GIFT” store, deadpan.

This was his look. He wore all-black all the time because that way he didn’t have to think about his clothes. In some ways he was an early Sheldon Cooper style intellectual — or more likely, they were both styled after earlier academics.

There’s another photo of him at a restaurant in LA: black blazer over a skeleton-print shirt, looking directly at the camera. The best photo of him I have.
