From Aunt Bacchus who came out on the street for a living.

<영화 '죽여주는 여자' 중> “Grandma, grandma don’t do it. Listening grandma is bad.”

The hostess of the grim chaebol family, and even the mother and grandmother next to us.

As an actor and as the mother of two sons, Yoon Yeo-jeong’s acting with all her heart, regardless of roles, big or small, was piled up one after another and led to a new record.

After 50 years of acting, he was nominated for the first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in Korea for the role of’Sunja’, the grandmother of the movie’Minari’.

<윤여정 / 배우> “I started small. But I am confused because there is such a big reaction. I have won many awards. I haven’t received it yet.”

Sunja teaches Hwatu to her grandchildren and swears without hesitation, but supports her family with deep maternal love.

<영화 '미나리' 중> “The damn thing.”

Yoon Yeo-jung was criticized as’It was not an actor who played grandmother, but Sun-ja itself’ with a three-dimensional role digestion.

The experiences and feelings of raising two sons in America naturally permeated.

<윤여정 / 배우> “The oldest son isn’t watching this movie. He’s Korean American. He only saw the trailer, but he cried so much that he couldn’t see it…”

Yoon Yeo-jung has already won dozens of performance awards at various awards in the United States.

<윤여정 / 배우> “I can’t feel it. Because the country is wide, there are many awards. I think that’s only that.”

Expectations for winning the first Academy Award in Korea are also rising.

<김정섭 / 대중문화평론가 (성신여대 교수)> “When it comes to acting, the judges in the United States will have no objection. I think it depends on how important he (Yoon Yeo-jung) takes the symbolic role he has in the movie’Minari’.”

The 93rd Academy Awards will be held on the 25th of next month.
