Actor Yoon Yeo-jeong expressed his feelings about the nomination of Korea's first Oscar nomination, and thanked PD In-ah Lee for delivering the screenplay for the first time.



On the 15th, Yoon Yeo-jung received the news of the nomination for the Academy Awards ceremony when she entered the country after filming a drama in Canada on the 15th.

Regarding the situation at the time, Yoon Yeo-jeong said, "Wow!, I was nominated for the teacher."

Yoon Yeo-jeong announced the beginning of'Minari' by mentioning this name in his impressions of the Oscar nomination.

He said, "Thank you to my friend Lee In-ah PD, who delivered this movie screenplay to me, introduced the director, and stayed with me with a sense of responsibility to this day. I heard the news yesterday because we are in self-quarantine. My friend also trembled a lot, and at the moment of the presentation, I cried instead of me."



PD Lee In-ah was worried about Yoon Yeo-jung's filming in the United States, so she flew to the filming site of'Minari', and it is said that she supported Yoon Yeo-jung and the'Minari' team by cooking rice locally.


Yoon Yeo-jung added, "I am grateful to the many people who helped me, cheered me, and worked with me until I enjoyed this glory and joy."

I thanked not only PD Lee In-ah, but also all the people who contributed to the movie and cheered for me in the hidden place.



As an actor, he met his moment of honor, but he also showed the same leisure and numbness as the person who had endeavored in life.

Yoon Yeo-jung said, "When a person can afford it, they seem to be grateful. When they can't afford it, they resent it. I think I can afford it a lot. I'm grateful for everything that has passed." Embraced.

Maria Bacalova from the'Borat sequel', Glenn Close from'Hilville's Song', Olivia Coleman from'The Father' and Amanda Sidefried from'Mank' compete for the Best Supporting Actress trophy.



As the expectation of'nomination of candidates' has changed into reality, the public's interest will be concentrated on'award'.

Yoon Yeo-jeong said, "When you become a nomination, you will want to support the award now, but I don't think that one work is played by other actors to rank, so I think that this nomination alone is like winning an award." .



'Buttercup' already gave birth to great hope and accomplished a miracle.



-Actor Yoon Yeo-jung, full text of impressions-



Sorry.

I need to see you in person and thank you, but I arrived in Seoul last night from Canada.

I didn't go out to play at this time, but I went to filming to make my own foreign currency.



I am now 74 years old, and at this age I know how glorious this is and that I have to thank you for your support, but I am so sorry that I can only say hello like this.

I also want to congratulate my acquaintances, but I am so upset that I cannot meet them because they are in quarantine.



While I'm really grateful for your support, it was really burdensome to be honest.

I wasn't even an Olympic athlete, but I could feel the emotional distress of the Olympic athletes.

In fact, I am very honored to be nominated, and I think that it is like winning an award because all five nominations with me did their best in their respective films.

I hate competition.

That's why the competitive pros that hide the rankings are those who are sick and can't see them.

In fact, if you become a nomination, you will now want to support the award, but I think that this nomination alone is like winning an award, because it is not that one work is played by other actors to rank.

Thank you so much for your support, and I couldn't even imagine anything like this would happen at this age.



I thought that it was difficult but rewarding to participate in a small movie made by the second generation of Koreans, but this is a happy moment.

Thank you to my friend In-ah Lee, PD, who delivered this movie screenplay to me, introduced the director, and stayed with me to this day with a sense of responsibility.

We were quarantined together, so we heard the news yesterday, but my name alphabet was called Y at the end, and this friend also trembled a lot and cried instead of me at the moment of the announcement.

Anyway, I am grateful to the many people who helped me, cheered me, and worked with me until I enjoyed this glory and joy.



It seems that people will be grateful when they can afford it.

When you can't afford it, you resent it.

I guess I can afford a lot.

Thanks for everything that has gone by.



Once again, we apologize for not being able to greet you directly due to the circumstances.

Thank you so much for your support.
