In Fast Five when he (and the other people in their crew) had been identified by The Rock, his name shows up as "Han Seoul-Oh," which is a bit Korean-ish (and a pun on Han Solo from Star Wars).

I think Jeremy Lin has enough integrity to be accurate in certain portrayals (as in the Tokyo Drift behind-the-scenes/director's commentary he talks about having met with actual Yakuza members to figure out how to portray them accurately) and probably won't be casting Asian guys to play a completely different Asian nationality (unless it's one where they are truly similar in appearance without being obvious to Asian people, like in the first one where they had a Korean and a Filipino both portraying Chinese people).
I'm confused on whether you are agreeing with me or disagreeing. lol
