“It was 26 crowns, but I received one award. (Award) When I hear only words, I just think,’The United States has many awards because the country is wide’, but I can’t realize it. I want to give the director an A plus. In other words, I played his grandmother, but because I didn’t impose any restrictions, I was free to play.”

This is the words of actor Yoon Yeo-jeong, who is receiving praise for her grandmother Sunja in’Minari’, nominated for the 78th Golden Globe Award for Foreign Language Film, which will be held on the 28th (local time). The film, which depicts the journey of a Korean family who immigrated to the United States in the 1980s by reviving his autobiographical experience, is released in Korea on March 3. Yoon Ye-ri attended an online conference on the 26th with director Han Ye-ri as her daughter Monica, and Steven Yeon and Jung as her son-in-law Jacob, and expressed their expectations for the release.

He who is currently filming in Vancouver, Canada, turned to’Buttercup’ and praised the director who brought out the breath of the staff and actors, saying, “My acting came from writing by Isaac (director).” “When it comes to times, a film translator (Hong Yeo-ul) who came to the US to help me said,’I feel sorry for the director. I’ll have to help you.’ I would have wanted to be a part of the story in this script, and it came together,” he said, recalling his family-like experience. Han Ye-ri also said, “The times I spent with my teacher (Yoon Yeo-jeong) at Airbnb during the filming period and ate together were like family. I miss you,” he said.

Yoon Yeo-jung also planted a lot of ideas throughout the film, including breathing with his grumpy grandson David (Alan Kim), saying, “Granny is not like a grandmother.” A typical scene is that the chestnut shell is bitten with teeth, and only the inside is spit out and handed to the grandson.

“Have I lived in America? I saw the mother of an internationally married friend doing it to her grandson, and my foreign husband said that it was dirty,’that’s why you have a lot of hepatitis’ (bitter smile). Since I know the Korean sentiment, for example, sleeping in my grandchildren’s room said that I would sleep on the floor. It’s natural to put a dear grandson and a sick child in bed. The director changed the set right away without ever asking. Oh, and it turns out that there is also’Wonderful Buttercup’ (with the lines I made). I did a lot of things (laughs)”

The image of grandmother Yoon Yeo-jung’s soft expression makes the longing that director Jeong would have buried in the lines in the script bloom in the screen. On this day, director Jung also showed a choking appearance while talking about his grandmother.

“I was a professor at Incheon and Songdo, Korea, and I saw a tidal flat in my office. The shellfish diggers there were mainly older women. After her grandfather died during the Korean War, her grandmother lived as a widow and raised her mother by digging shellfish in the tidal flat. I thought,’If my grandmother didn’t exist, would I be able to teach as a professor?’

‘Buttercup’ is a story of a Korean immigrant, but it is also a landscape of American society in the 1980s, and it is a work that depicts the daily conflict and harmony between families. Stephen Yeon, who played his father Jacob and worked as a producer at the same time, said, “It is very Korean and I am attracted to the story of human beings.” “When I work as a Korean actor, I get a lot of minority (minority) scripts, including Korean directors, and there are many things that explain the culture of that race. Because the viewers are white mainstream. But this movie was just a family story, so it was a topic that I shared so much that it was fresh.”

Yoon Yeo-jung said, “I imagined this and didn’t make it, but I was surprised that Americans liked it and cried in Sundance. I cried when Isaac went up to the stage. Now that I’m an old actor, it’s great for young people to achieve something and my patriotism explodes (laughs). It’s just astounding and astonished to have won several awards.”

After the Sundance Film Festival,’Minari’, which was awarded a total of 74 crowns (nominated in 157 categories), was classified as a foreign language film award in Golden Globe, and there was a controversy about’racism’. At the American Actors Guild Award (SAG), which is called a weather vane that predicts the Academy, he was nominated for an ensemble award that sees the sum of actors’ performances. The Academy Award, in which some preliminary candidates were announced, has also been named in the theme song (Yeri Han).

Director Jung said, “It’s a personal story, but the pain and conflict that common humans and relationships and families experience seem to give us sympathy.” “It doesn’t matter which country we are from. I thought about Korea a lot while making it, but I’m curious about the audience reaction.” Yoon Yeo-jung said, “It’s like a simple and pure taste that doesn’t contain any seasonings,” and concluded, “(Koreans) enjoy eating seasoned foods, but (our movie) is healthy, so try catching them.
