(Los Angeles = Yonhap News) Correspondent Jung Yoon-seop = Yoon Yeo-jeong, the first Korean actor to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the movie’Minari’, expressed his feelings that the nomination was unexpected.

Yoon Yeo-jeong said, “It was just a different world story to me,” the AP reported on the 16th.

He explained that after finishing the filming schedule in Vancouver, Canada, he arrived in Korea and heard from his manager that he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

He recently visited Canada to film the drama’Pachinko’ of the video streaming company Apple TV Plus and returned to Korea on the 15th.

As soon as he arrived at the airport, he found out that he was nominated for an Oscar an hour later. “The manager is much younger than me, but when I was browsing the internet, he suddenly told me,’Wow, I was nominated.’ I did not cry,” he introduced.

“The manager became more emotional than me (at the news of the Oscar nomination), and I felt stupid too,” he said.

Yun Yeo-jeong said, “Because I just returned from Canada, I need to have a quarantine period to quarantine the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). Everyone would want to come here (to congratulate), but since there is no way to come here, I We will celebrate together.”

He then mixed a joke and conveyed his congratulations to the fans.

“The problem is that the manager can’t drink at all,” he said. “So I’m going to have to drink alone. The manager will watch me drink.”
