I will connect you to Los Angeles, USA, where the awards ceremony was held, how local people see the reason why the Korean actor won the Academy Award for the first time, and how the atmosphere was.



Correspondent Kim Jong-won, there are many Korean residents in LA, so I think you would have been happy there as much as Korea. What was the local response?

Yes, the Academy Awards Ceremony is all over, but the Union Station, where the event behind me was held, is still lit up.



Actor Yoon Yeo-jung's Best Supporting Actor Award was won here today (26th), but foreign media reported that he wrote a new history of the Korean film industry while introducing Yoon in detail.



Actor Yoon's impression of the award was also a hot topic today, but laughter never ceases in the audience seats where the stars gathered in the witty impression of the award. Let's listen.



[Yoon Yeo-jung/Actor: Brad Pitt, we will eventually meet. Where were we when we filmed in Tulsa? Europeans called me'Yooyoung' or'Yoojung'. Today, I will forgive you all.]



President Moon Jae-in also posted a congratulatory message on social media, saying that it was a great comfort to the people exhausted from the corona.

It is actually not easy to overcome the barriers of language and culture at the

Academy.

For Americans, actor Yoon Yeo-jung's acting came out very fresh, and such comments are coming out.



The New York Times wrote that the character played by Yoon was witty.



It wasn't the typical grandmother that Americans would think of, but rather as a fresh character.



Reuters and AP also introduced actor Yoon Yeo-jung in detail and played a role with many implications.

Actually, the academy has been highly conservative, mainly white and male. There have been criticisms like this, but there are many evaluations that this year was different?



<Reporter>



Yes. Looking at the winners today (26th), for the first time ever, the Best Picture and Director Awards were won by an Asian female director, and the male and female supporting actors were each won by an Asian actor and a black actor.



The Academy Awards ceremony has been criticized for being too white-oriented, but this year, it is evaluated that the diversity was outstanding.
