Yoon Yeo-jung, the first Korean actor to be nominated for an Academy Acting Award, expressed his feelings, "Just being nominated is like winning an award."



Yoon Yeo-jung said in his sentiment today (16th) through a Korean distributor, "I was really grateful for your support, but honestly, it was very burdensome," and "I wasn't even an Olympic athlete, but I could feel the emotional pain of the Olympic athletes."



He added, "I am so honored to be nominated and I think that it is like winning an award because all five nominations like me did their best in their respective films."



"I hate competition. So, the competitive pros that cover the rankings are those who are sick of it. In fact, if you become a nomination, you will want to support the award now, but I think that one work is not played by other actors and ranks it. I think this nomination alone is like winning a prize."



Yoon Yeo-jung said, "I really appreciate your support and I couldn't even imagine that this would happen at this age. I thought that I participated in a small movie made by the second generation of Koreans, although it was difficult but rewarding, but I was in such a joyful moment." Revealed.



He also expressed a special gratitude to In-ah Lee, PD, whom he mentioned several times in each interview.



"Thank you to my friend In-ah Lee, 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. This friend also trembled a lot and cried instead of me at the moment of the presentation. Anyway, I am grateful to the many people who helped me, cheered me on, and joined me until I enjoyed this glory and joy.



Yoon Yeo-jung said, "When people 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. I'm sorry for not being able to say hello again due to the situation. Thank you so much for your support.”
