Yuh-Jung Youn on Supporting Actress Oscar Win and Finally Meeting 'Minari' Producer Brad Pitt
Congratullation an History was Created. You cannot blame bong joon ho anymore okay you created the oscar-winning grandma what was the biggest challenge you faced in your acting career and what did you get from minari's grandma sunja.
Grandma (yun yeo-jung)= well it's not happened rightat the moment because i had a long career. I'm trying to build up my career you know step by step there's nothing just happen bang like this. I don't believe that kind of thing and this award means or sometimes it's well it's happy very happy when you get it but me myself, i don't believe in competition especially in our field because we are comparing different movies different war so it wasn't. I'm just lucky tonight just luckier than the other nominees luckier than them and maybe the who knows is american hospitality for the korean actor i think.
Thank you our next question is from Variety jazz
Variety jazz= Congratulations on your win tonight brad pitt was a producer on minari and you just met him for the first time what was that like and if you could do a movie with him what genre would you choose.

Blacktree tv = Hello hello i wanted to talk about the i mean there's been a lot of conversations about diversity but not many including like uh asian active diversity but when you look at you know parasite from last year and this movie and um i can't i can't remember the name but the of another korean movie that came out. What do you think about the the new films that's telling a different story about what the diversity of asian uh the asian world uh offers as far as real stories and not just kung fu flicks and this and that like.

Blacktree tv = yeah yes i'm sure it's about time the sharing different story is
Grandma (yun yeo-jung)= uh i think it's very nice to understand each other and we should embarrass each other or embrace each other because without knowing or categorize we people are categorized like a black white yellow brown something like that that's not nice way to just divide like thatyou know i think if we put all color together make it more prettier even rainbow has seven colors so color doesn't matter gender doesn't matter or the what what else men and women or i don't like to divide divide likes you know like this man woman or black and white yellow brown or some other word the gender you know gay or straight or something like that i don't want that kind of things just we we are equal human being we have have the same warm heart so yeah did i answer right or i'm not sure so it's the opportunity for us to sharing the story together
