Yeun, who got the job as Glenn on The Walking Dead five months after he moved to Los Angeles, is starring in Minari right now – the movie famous at the moment because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association didn’t consider this extremely American story American enough since the protagonists mostly speak Korean. “Minari premiered at Sundance and took home the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and an audience award. Yeun’s father sat next to him during the screening, which unnerved Yeun. … With this film, what he and the director were trying to tell their parents was: ‘I’m a father. And now I understand what you had to go through.'” – The New York Times
