Sports Today reported that Nicolas Cage first met current wife Alice Kim at a “booking club” in LA’s Korea Town. In a telephone interview with an SBS entertainment news program, a director at a Korea Town broadcasting station said the couple first met at a K-Town “booking club” known as “Bazzi.” After that “fateful meeting,” Cage began to frequent the sushi bar where Kim worked, wooing the 20-year old waitress, apparently successfully.
The K-Town broadcaster also described Kim as a “strongly independent” woman who despite coming from a wealthy home, worked not only at the afore mentioned sushi bar, but also at an high-class Japanese restaurant in Pasadena. In fact, it was at that restaurant — while she was on duty at the cashier — that Cage gave her a diamond ring as a symbol of his love. Makes me feel all warm and mushy inside.
For those unfamiliar with what “booking” entails, I direct you here and here.

hardyandtiny, you crack me up.
How’s that blog looking?
I never judge but Nic Cage is a moron. The guy uses marriage like Bob Villa uses a circle-saw. Wonde how long this one’s gonna last.
Oh yeah…I have a lot of friends who frequent these clubs in LA. And a lot have seen Nic there frequently. Also there a lot are Mickey Rourke, Olly Stone, and Alicia Silverstone (yellow fever works both ways apparently).
they let white people into booking clubs. i’m astonished.. but i guess in the states you can sue the club.. but not in Korea.
How he able to make the catch to her? It is unsual for Korean lady to have relations before marriage since as you may know of conservative way this country. He is very lucky with her.
Touche Steve
Is it me, or is that chick not so hot? Nick needs to get his ass over here if he thinks that’s quality.
Is it kind of massage parlor?
how much does one of those booking clubs cost to go to for a night… and is it worth it???
She’s quite mediocre-looking by Seoul standards (or even LA standards for that matter).

So some famous dude married some girl… and she’s not that hot and Korean and whatever. Why does anyone give a shit? What’s next, are we going to start discussing what J-Lo wore at the Source Awards? Is this the People Magazine ?????Œ??¤?

Us honkeys have zero problems getting into nightclubs in Korea. Unless you come in dressed like an Engrish teacher who just caught a taxi from the Itaewon Burger King.
If you’re either rich, hot, or fluent in Korean, it’s worth your $ to check out Boss. Otherwise don’t bother. The worthwhile local girls can’t speak English, and the gyopo girls didn’t come to Korea and go to Boss to get hit on by mediocre white boys with their “no moo yay bo yo” shit.
As of a couple months ago (haven’t been in a while), Boss was still having amateur dance contests at 3am, where one winner of each gender was going home with 3mn won. The dude who won was a shit dancer but could do a backflip and seemed humble so everyone cheered for him. The chick won by thrice stripping buck naked and shaking her tits. Clearly on the club’s payroll though, but if she is successful in spreading such deviance then I’m all for it
[...] Naturally in Korea
I was checking up on Marmot, and followed a link from his article about Nicolas Cage meeting Alice Kim in the book [...]
i had my first booking experiece in Apku’s “Boss” a few months ago… it was interesting. i must say, BOSS was better than this other booking club i went to in gangnam. i haven’t had time to check out the scene here in busan so i can’t compare… my “agent” at Apku’s Boss still sends me text messages once in a while when it’s “service” night for women (meaning it’s free of charge) but i haven’t been back since the first time i went…i was kind of disillusioned by it all actually…lots of the guys there were filthy stinking rich with absolutely no sense of the value of money which bothered me. it was like their entire life was just a big holiday…out of touch with reality in many cases but i guess korean women like that?
but if you’re a guy and willing to spend some big money for the night, gather a bunch of your guy friends and try the booking scene…it could be fun i guess…(maybe?)
“This is the only way to meet men naturally.”
This is why Korea gives me a headache.
She is SoOoOO not hot!! she’s like all pasty too~! I like looking at beautiful women (but i don’t swing that way) but I dont think I’d give her a second glance…..My left big toe is better lookin then she is~ lolz!
Are we having a Bitch Fit, darling?
Can’t be happening. Your monthlies dried up long before your witty (???) lines.
Sour grapes? The OnLy vine you can swing from, honey, is the jungle you belong in.
Alice, Alice .. a friend from grade school .. just saw her max 5 months ago at Kabuki (and correcting shes a HOSTESS) we had a little chat .. then 5 months later i was reading an US weekly and i see this familiar face next to nicolas cage .. i can’t believe it!! SHe’s a millionaire!!!! what a trip.
spark b/n 2 ppl doesn’t always come as you may expect. Lt’s all that love and all beyond look, money and all other materialistic figures. So let it flow bears!
The Korean press has it all wrong. They are tryng to sugarcoat the entire shady situation. Alice is not rich but she lived in a tiny apartment with her family of four. She worked as a hostess because she did not even properly graduate high school. She was known in the valley as a thuggish wannabee, and luckily met Nic at Le Prive through booking. Classic case of foolish Asian girl who meets the “right” guy. Koreans are too ashamed to admit this.
is nick having a mid-life crisis? hahahahaha!!! some men just buy expensive sportscars….he turns around and marries a child !!!
well alice kim is the biggest HOE no kidding she has been passed around and around and I do know this for a FACT because she has that reputation with her and her other 2 hoe friends and yah the thuggish wannabe thing is also true but her parents are in on it to BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT encouraging her to marry him quickly as possible and this is VERY TRUE…VERY GOOD INSIDE SOURCES
and nicolas cage is a JACKASS JESUS CAN’T HE SEE IT SHES A MONEY HUNGRY WHORE WDF HE”S FUCKING OLD ASS HELL AND SHE’S ONLY USING HIM
Right on… she prob told him she was a virgin! And Ive seen Alice around guys and she plays coy but she is way calculated (Nic fell for it cuz he claims he fell for her beautiful spirit!)Alice is not even a high school graduate. She got kicked out of Granada just a couple months b4 graduation I was pretty close to her crowd, and although she is not the worst person, she defintely had some issues. She was pretty mean and thuggish to everyone Her father was absent and her mother was not always available (too busy partying). Alice ditched school, smoked, amongst other things. She met Nic at Prive and pretty much held on for the ride. He’s not exactly normal himself. I feel bad for her in a lot of ways. She may have dough, but she has no schooling and no life outside of him. She follows him everywhere and has no independence, and on top of that she is pregnant at 20! She will be another Bev Hills trophy wife with kids way to early, and a hubby who will no doubt have a wandering eye. Good Luck! I heard they signed a pre-nup, so I guess she can live off child support…
PS- she aint that pretty but lets just say money does wonders!
Who cares!!!!!!!!
Just to let everyone know… Boss nightclub at the Hotel Sunshine in Seoul is in friggin’ SHINSA-DONG, NOT APGUJUNG-DONG OK????? Regarding Nick Cage and Alice Kim… all I have to say is… “Mr. Cage, you have all the money in the world and that is what you end up with?” I know white guys are desperate for Asian girls, but PULEEZ…. all you horny white guys can take all of the Alice Kim’s you like. BLECHH!!.
What is the deal here who cares….. just think about who your going to end up with..anyways I wanna start a booking club …
Alice is definitely a highschool reject. In addition, her family is not rich like this website and other sources claim. Her mother sold her crummy old business (a clothing store) because she went broke. That is why alice had to start working, because other than that she did not want to work!!!
Her family just tried to have a rich appearance but that’s all. Her father isn’t even here, who knows where he is… and Alice herself had some run-ins with the law. Also, she is not American-Korean, she is just Korean…Maybe Nick’s money has served a good purpose…creating a false history behind his wifey!!!
One, who cares. Two, who cares and three, who cares?
Is there a reason you feel you need to disparage her? Has she personally done something to you?
maybe she made a lot of enemies. What comes around always comes back to bite you in the ass.
Alice Kim is not soooooo hot
She money hungry and wanted attention from people that all
I agree with the peopple who wan’t to know who cares? She is not good looking, but don’t people from the U.S. lke cinderella stories? Good for her! She has lots of money and can help her family out now.
Please check some information about blckjck

Seriously though, she is pretty fkn tore. She got lucky though, both her and her mom. After those failed marriages, he probably thought, ‘Who cares’ and hooked up, fell for her sob stories, is getting head, getting worth-while sex, knows he has a big dick and that she’s enjoying it. At his age, all you end up wanting is young pussy and of different ethnicity?! what can get better than that? Let’s just hope she doesn’t feel like a dirty immigrant. And if she does, she’ll probably psyche herself by saying that she’s doing it for her mom. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with mixed marriages. I am actually fond of Wesley Snipes marriage.
Does anybody know why Nicolas Cage has become so gaunt after the marriage?Is he drinking or taking drugs?
YOu all stink like shiiiiitttt..hhheheee
First of all why are you ppl on here bashing the girl? Did anyone walk in her shoes and I mean literally? Don’t hate and start to congradulate! EVERYONE makes mistakes from time to time and God knows I am one of them. Obiviously the man doesn’t care what you ppl have to say and she has the last laugh! I think that it’s great that the two got married and is starting a family. It is not easy to be married let alone with a celebrity. Get a life and while you’re at it start worrying more about your life than others. Maybe if you did you wouldn’t have time to write all these negativty on here and whoever wrote “What goes around comes around.” How about taking your own damn advice sweetie. You know what they say, “Misery loves Company.” Peace

What I have recently noticed about Alice Cage- at first when they were first together, her body language seemed sort of distant from Nicolas. NOW she constantly looks at him, look all in love and looks at him in a sexual sexy way a LOT(in photos I’ve seen). Maybe he started acting like he was tired of marriage already and she is worried and is trying to make sure it works so she can stay and have all that she has now. Just a thought, I don’t really know.. There are a lot of hottie girls out there in the world and I’m sure Nicolas could have them if he wanted to. Maybe he misses having fun with true babes, maybe thats why he looks so tired now being married and all. I don’t know..
