[국제]Foreign press “Buttercup Oscar wrote history”… pay attention to the possibility of winning Yoon Yeo-jung

When the film’Buttercup’, which depicts the Korean family’s settlement in the United States, was nominated for six Academy Awards, foreign media assessed that’Buttercup’ made the history of the Oscars.

In particular, they paid attention to the possibility of winning an Oscar, saying that Yoon Yeo-jeong, who was the first Korean actor to be nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award, and Stephen Yeon, who was the first Asian American to be nominated for the Best Actor Award, left a name in the history of the Oscars.

The Los Angeles Times reported that’Minari’ was a historic Oscar nominee and that “it opened a new era by being nominated in six categories.”

AFP news agency said, “Minari, a story about Korean immigrants, was nominated for six categories and took a joint second place.”

Reuters reported, “The touching story of a family of Korean immigrants trying to make a living in the United States in the 1980s was nominated for an Oscar.”

Forbes said, “Minari tells the story of a family of Korean immigrants struggling to take root in an unfamiliar place. It’s a story of a Korean-American family, but it’s also a story of how immigrants make America.”

Foreign media showed great interest in the nominations for the Oscars by Yoon Yeo-jung and Stephen Yeon.

Reuters reported, “Yeo-jung Yoon, who played the role of Korean grandmother in Minari, became the first Korean actor to be nominated for an Best Supporting Actor.”

The Associated Press reported that “Steven Yeon was the first Asian-American actor to be nominated for an Best Actor Award.”

The Los Angeles Times said, “While’Parasite’ won a historic win at the Academy Awards last year, Oscar has the worst record for acknowledging the talents of Asians and Asian Americans.” “American Stephen Yan made Oscar history,” he said.

Forbes also introduced the 50 years of acting experience of Yoon Yeo-jeong, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress Award, and announced the news that Yoon Yeo-jeong was nominated for the American Actors Guild and the British Academy of Film and TV Arts Awards by playing the role of “unique grandmother Sun-ja” in Minari.

People also reported that Steven Yeon and Yun Yeo-jung were “writing their names in a history book” with Chinese director Chloe Zhao who directed the movie’Nomadland’.

Director Zhao was the first Asian woman nominated for the Academy Awards.
