Yuh-jung Youn became the first Korean actress to win the best supporting actress award at the 93rd Academy Awards. Veteran actress Yuh-jung Youn won this award for her role in the movie “Minari” and became the first Korean actress to win in this category. During the speech, Ms. Yuh-jung Youn shared about her experience witnessing the Oscars ceremony in Korea and that it was a surreal experience. The Minari movie is about a family moving to Arkansas (USA) from Korea to start a new life. However, the life of this family encountered many difficulties when taking the grandmother, played by actor Youn. This film, as well as actor Youn, has received much praise from critics. However, right after the release of the trailer for the movie “Minari”, the film’s producer and crew faced many criticisms. In particular, a part of the Korean-American audience said that “Minari” showed the image of Koreans in particular and Asians in general dependent and at any cost pursuing the dream in America. In addition to the award above, the category of Best Supporting Actor of Oscar 2021 belongs to actor Daniel Kaluuya in the movie “Judas and the Black Messiah”. Previously, the film grading website Rotten Tomatoes commented that the golden statue certainly belonged to Daniel: “With the Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG and Critics Choice Awards wins, if Daniel doesn’t win, that is. will be one of the most boring things in Oscar history. “
