Director Jeong Isak, who challenged the Academy Awards after coach Bong Joon-ho of’Parasite’ last year, said, “It seems that the’water parsley’ that my grandmother planted in the water has grown well and became a blessing.” He added, “I would like to express my special thanks to my mother, father, and sister who filled my Arkansas farm house with love, and I would like to express my gratitude to my wife and daughter, who are most important to me.” He also said, “I am grateful to the Korean audience for supporting me to create a history that honors Mr. Yoon’s work on the world stage.”

Yoon Yeo-jung, who was nominated for the Academy Acting Award for the first time as a Korean actor, wrote, “I am sorry that I cannot meet you directly because I came back after doing’foreign currency’ and are in quarantine.” “I was really grateful for my support so far, but honestly, it was very burdensome. I could feel the emotional distress of the Olympic athletes.” They said they hated competition, and all five nominations together said that they were like winning awards because they did their best in their own films. In an interview with a foreign press, he added a peculiar joke, saying, “I have to drink congratulations. The manager (in quarantine) cannot drink, so I will have to drink alone.”

Stephen Yeon, the first Asian-American in Oscar history to be nominated for Best Actor, said, “Thank you for the academy that gave me the honor to be nominated with great artists.” “If there is anything we have learned through movies over the past few years, we must share our lives together,” he said. Han Ye-ri, who also sang the OST’Song of Rain’, said, “I miss the house and the people we all dine with.” Cute scene stealer Alan Kim said, “I’m really excited,” and gave a lively impression.
