His father is a Cambodian, and his mother is an Indian. His oldest brother, Kyan Ung, is an actor, who worked in the 2019 American film The Lion King. His middle brother, Aareon Ung, is a professional gymnast, ranked ninth in the UK. Once, in a media interview, Leon Ung shared that there were not enough roles in the film industry for people like him, who had mixed origins. He said,
But often, (film) makers are looking for half-black and half-white (actors). If they want an Indian (performer), I again donât fit in as I look ânot Indian enoughâ. When itâs for Asian or Chinese characters, they find me ânot Asian enoughâ. Thatâs why itâs really hard. It also shows there is still a problem of actual and fair representation.â
In the 1970s, during the Khmer Rouge-led genocide in Cambodia, his grandmotherâs entire family who stayed there was murdered. His grandfather then met a smuggler who offered to take them out of Cambodia to Vietnam. However, his family soon realized that the smuggler was a human trafficker. In an attempt to escape, they boarded a crowded fishing boat bound for Hong Kong. According to Leon Ung, his familyâs journey was scary. The boats were very crowded with less oxygen, insufficient food, and dehydration. Then, somehow, they managed to send an SOS signal, and a British cargo ship, the Sibonga, came to their rescue. Reportedly, among numerous boats, only two survived, carrying around a thousand survivors.

According to Leon Ung, upon reaching the UK, his family spent two years in a refugee camp in the New Forest, near Christchurch, called Sopley. Most other families in the camp were Vietnamese. His father lived in the refugee camp in the New Forest from the age of two to four.
