Right?? I hear you. What is this world? I remember cringing when Long Duck Dong appeared on screen and my classmates all laughed and smirked. That was our AA representation on the silver screen. Well ….we’ve come a long way, baby!!
Beef is amazing. I consider myself a pretty empathetic person but towards the middle of the series I had had enough of the two main characters. By the end of it I wanted to hold both of them. Really powerful storytelling and acting.
Beef was great. Both the Danny and Amy characters are such broken, garbage people that you kinda hate but still empathize with. They're definitely each their own worst enemy.
Me too! There was one ep where I didn’t want to see them anymore. But right when I started feeling like that, the story got me out of it even though they were still making bad decisions. And that last ep was all heart.
Agreed, he is possessive of so many qualities I admire in a person, and I realized I only watched the Walking Dead as the character study it really started out as, chiefly rooting for Glenn, Dale and (the redemption of) Shane. Steven Yeun brought real humanity to the show and dare I say it for playing such a young role, gravitas. I am glad he is getting more and better roles now, as he totally deserves.
YES! That scene was so real literally because that's exactly what happened to me when I went back to church and when I watched this scene I was literally pouring tears with him. I binged this show in one night and I went through a rollercoaster of emotions from pouring my eyes out to getting stomach cramps from laughing so hard. Great series!!!
Justin Min's older brother Jason is an old friend of creator Lee Sung Jin ❤️ Was such an honest and positive light on Christians, instead of the common ridicule and overly dramatic view often shown in Hollywood.
Agreed. Wife and I marathoned Beef one night and it was hilarious and entertaining all the way through. Steven Yuen and Ali Wong both killed it with their roles!
Man the writing for this show was on another level.. I truly felt all of their emotions.. I balled my eyes out during that church scene and laughed my ass off in the scenes with him and his cousin.. love, love loved this show.. please produce a Beef 2, plsssssssse 🙌🙌🥰🙏
He and Ally Wong and that whole cast KILLED IT!!! the performances made this really amazing. Script is good but the performances took this to another level!
Beef is a masterpiece because you watch it thinking that you know exactly what’s going to happen and then the opposite happens. It’s hilarious yet emotional and thrilling. You find yourself low key emphasizing with Danny and Amy but also George, Fumi, Edwin, Paul and even Isaac. It’s a must see for sure
One thing this show has that other’s don’t: PLOT. It starts going and it doesn’t let up until the end. No holes in the narrative - every character, even small ones like Esther, and Paul’s two friends, had an arch. That’s so rare in a show these days. I loved it.
Except they nailed Issac for the road rage incident because he was the truck owner....but records would have showed Danny as the owner of the time of the incident....that's my only beef with the show though because it was great
As a non-binge watcher, I watched the first nine episodes of _Beef_ in one sitting. I had stop halfway in the ninth episode of the ten episodes, because it was getting very late. That was how good it was.
It's crazy how many Korean men are triple threats; they can sing, dance and act. Reminds me of that old "Golden Age of Hollywood" where actors & actresses had to have all the skills. It's rare in the West now but in Korea there are tons of great actors who were/are also singers and dancers. A few women too but seems mostly men. I have quite a few favorite Korean actors that I've enjoyed watching.
@@tanchristhoper3832 It’s so addicting, isn’t it? I finished 8 last night & then watched the last 2 the next day. I had to sleep. Ha! The episodes are only 30mins long so that helps.
He's pretty dang cute, I agree! I fell for him in Minari. Wasn't yet aware of Beef (still have yet to watch it but I plan to) and never watched TWD because zombies just don't do it for me...but in Minari he absolutely blew me away. So good.
Wow Steven is so shy and humble. It is crazy seeing this Asian actors come on these shows and they look as shocked as me sitting behind the computer watching this happen!! Can't believe that in a few years, there will be even more productions...more awards...and soon we will be "seen". My goodness!!
Steven Yeun is always a pretty cool and entertaining studio guest - great comedy chops, too. Loved those remotes he did with Conan O'Brien back then. Those were just hilarious😂
Did Steven Colbert not watch the show or prepare for this interview at all?? The show is 10/10, absolutely riveting and hilarious and devastating and there are sooo many better things he could have asked.
Dude is a fan favorite putting out ground breaking stuff but underrated in Hollywood roles. Wtf. Guy needs an Oscar. If he doesn't get an Emmy for this role on Beef, I'm going to Krage out.
6:37 I love Colbert's way of not Yucking someone else Yum - when Yeun said he doesn't go to church anymore Colbert didn't get on him or crush him he just said "on a certain level it sticks with ya"
I swear, Beef, is like nothing I've ever seen before! ...There were some seriously uncomfortable moments, but have to say overall - UNIQUE, and well done!
Its great to see representation of Asian Americans taking the big roles and not just a side kick nowadays 😂 The new generation of Asian Americans and the next will be forever grateful for these actors who put up a good start❤. Asian American Kids nowadays dont feel being foreign unlike 80’s and 90’s generation….
loved it. you think eventually something will happen where they'll beefriend each other but then they just kept raising the steaks with each episode. I know a lot of people have never seen him in anything beefore but I love steven in this medium. rare to see this kind of success with an asian male lead. I know that he's only nominated for an oscar, but if he doesn't win one by the end of his career, I think it'd be a huge misteak. definitely deserves an emmy. his success just makes me happy like when you see a dog's tail wag. you won't regret it if you watch it.
Totally didn’t expect Beef to be be one of the best series I’ve ever seen! If you haven’t seen it, you’re missing out!! It’s so damn good! I love Succession but this series is going to give them a run for their money.
Incredible show!! Can’t wait to rewatch it as it has so many layers. What a great cast too and yes, as everyone else has said, his acting was phenomenal! And great chemistry with Ali.
Wife and I marathoned Beef one night and it was hilarious and entertaining all the way through. Steven Yuen and Ali Wong both killed it with their roles!
We really enjoy BEEF 🎉. All the actors are so gifted,.. it’s not easy to ensemble a great cast like that,… perfect matches and so supportive, i could feel the happiness
This show is so truthful and yet funny, and cringe. Small details touched me so much so that I could relate to them. Some of it is probably my story. Perfectly delivered a subject that can be boring to many. Road rage is something I can totally relate to as a Korean immigrant who lost self esteem and did not know how to manage anger at one point. Now that I look back, it was a reflection of myself strugging in all directions.
Steven Yeun. He is like a real life actor, and Danny the character he played, was so real and can't not talk about church since. That scene was cool. So cool Man.
I'm so thrilled/happy that Colbert is promoting this show. Ali & Yeun are incredible in BEEF. It's listed as a "comedy/drama" but heed my warning here. There is nothing to laugh at the end of the 1st season (hopefully more!) Episodes 9 & 10 are heart breathtakingly devastating. A24 is my favorite studio, by far.
Beef was way better than I thought it would be..I remember at some point I changed my Netflix rating from "like it" to "love it" during a moment in the show. Really good stuff!
I really look forward to see what he is doing next. He wasn't on my radar before Beef and I wasn't expecting such a variety in his character first. Amazing acting, great voice.
For real. I like going fast. When you drive long distances in the US, it feels necessary to keep my sanity. But after my first crash spared my life because I kept semi-adequate distance between me and the car in front of me, I came out just fine. So even while I’m nyooming around the highway, I keep that distance as much as I can.
I love this show, it is sooooooooooo GOOD! I love them both. They are so talented! It is soooo relatable! They truly capture the human experience! Also I love his connection to the Lord, When he recited the scripture! I was like yassss! We have all been there! God is so good! 🙌 Dope show!
I’ve already watched Beef, but I hadn’t caught that part of the scene where his neighbor decided not to go to the pool because he & his brother were there. Lol
As a 50yr old Korean American, it feels as if I’m dreaming seeing these actors on TV. Never have I thought in my lifetime…
They are SO GOOD.
Right?? I hear you. What is this world? I remember cringing when Long Duck Dong appeared on screen and my classmates all laughed and smirked. That was our AA representation on the silver screen. Well ….we’ve come a long way, baby!!
So good to see more people getting a seat at the table. Korea has tremendously talented actors-we wish we could have seen them sooner!
Yeah Korean Americans killing it there while Korean nationals are also killing it all over is pretty friggin awesome.
Me, too! I left the states in 95 thinking there was no hope for Korean actors.
I wish I had studied acting instead like my recommended!!
Beef is amazing. I consider myself a pretty empathetic person but towards the middle of the series I had had enough of the two main characters. By the end of it I wanted to hold both of them. Really powerful storytelling and acting.
Soooo good!!!!

Extremely well said
💯👏🏼💖 agreed! 🥲💖🤟🏼✌🏼
He’s for sure going to win an Emmy for this show. Phenomenal performance along with Ali Wong. Electric chemistry.
Pedro Pascal will win the Emmy.
@@TheUndeclaredNation oh crap, they're gonna be against each other. goddammit. :(
They won't go against each other. Beef is limited series.
@@iamnicolemiceli the writer actually has 3 seasons in mind, if you read the trivia IMDB it's the last entry. I'm sure it will get extended
@@iamnicolemiceli noooo really? That makes me happy for him (emmy wise)… but so sad for me lol
Even though he's as successful as any actor could hope to be, I still think he should be a bigger deal.
He'll get there. Just a babe yet.
He was PHENOMENAL in this show!!!
I reckon he should be the next leading man to be honest. He has that vibe
Agreed, he is possessive of so many qualities I admire in a person, and I realized I only watched the Walking Dead as the character study it really started out as,

Definitely⚜️
The scene where he goes to church for the first time was so real 😭 So to hear he grew up in church makes a lot of sense 🙏🏽❤
YES! That scene was so real literally because that's exactly what happened to me when I went back to church and when I watched this scene I was literally pouring tears with him. I binged this show in one night and I went through a rollercoaster of emotions from pouring my eyes out to getting stomach cramps from laughing so hard. Great series!!!
To me that scene was super sad and traumatic. It reminded me of Midsommar. That's how cults get you, when you're at your lowest point.
I ugly cried so hard lol

Just finished Beef last night. What a series.
I just finished it too. So damn good! Totally didn’t expect that.
Agreed. Wife and I marathoned Beef one night and it was hilarious and entertaining all the way through. Steven Yuen and Ali Wong both killed it with their roles!
The series was just amazing...
Such a likable actor. Anything with Steven Yeun in it is bound to be a good time
Weirdly Steven reminds me of an Asian Elijah Wood

Spot on!
As a non-binge watcher, I watched the first nine episodes of _Beef_ in one sitting. I had stop halfway in the ninth episode of the ten episodes, because it was getting very late.
That was how good it was.
Same!!! I don't even have cable, and only Animal Kingdom, The Good Place (also has some cringe at times lol), and Beef - have I ever binged 🎉😂
lmao same here
@@julesmbc you should try Queens gambit. And House of the Dragon.
Same I saw it in one sitting ❤
As a non-binge watcher, I watched all in one day. That's how good it is
I love his laugh. It’s so carefree and contagious!❤
Steven was so good in Beef!! I didn't even know he could sing until now. He sings well.
It's crazy how many Korean men are triple threats; they can sing, dance and act. Reminds me of that old "Golden Age of Hollywood" where actors & actresses had to have all the skills.

Steven's interviews are always so interesting to watch
A genuinely interesting series. Very unpredictable storylines and still delivers
I binge watched Beef last weekend. Couldn’t look away - he and Ali were mesmerizing.
I love that he's so introspective.
It's been a while since I've actually binged a show. finished it in 2 days
Ha. Same here!
@@b-dub6865 Ha! I finished it in one sitting while I was sick!
@@tanchristhoper3832 It’s so addicting, isn’t it? I finished 8 last night & then watched the last 2 the next day. I had to sleep. Ha! The episodes are only 30mins long so that helps.
2 days?? Amateur. I binged it in 2.5 hours.
Same; two days.
I love when he brings out his funny bc he’s really funny and it’s a humble yet charming funny
Love Steven!!!
Absolutely LOVE Steven Yeun and BEEF is AMAZING!
He’s a definite heartthrob!!!
He's pretty dang cute, I agree! I fell for him in Minari. Wasn't yet aware of Beef (still have yet to watch it but I plan to) and never watched TWD because zombies just don't do it for me...but in Minari he absolutely blew me away. So good.
Im just getting to the end of Beef.
Im thrilled to be able to see Steven Yuen be able to display his incredible spectrum of talent.
I'm a simple gal. I see Steven Yeun was on Colbert, it makes me have a great morning.
Steven is so awesome! Love his energy here!
Wow Steven is so shy and humble. It is crazy seeing this Asian actors come on these shows and they look as shocked as me sitting behind the computer watching this happen!!

Loved the bro chemistry between Danny and Paul! Yeun and Mazino did so well together
Love, love, love this actor!

Colbert himself left his faith for a spell, so he gets more than most how to navigate the topic
My son is a 'Glen'(TWD) fan and had me watch Beef.
Crazy ride.
That desert scene.✨
I'm so glad I've just discovered Steven Yeun...phenomenal actor. Such a beautiful show.
Gawd, I love everything Steven Yuen does! He’s such an amazing actor and his singing melted my heart ❤❤❤❤
What he says about interpreting that Romans verse rings so true! Right on, Steven.
His chemistry with Ali Wong was off the charts, the few times they were in the same scene were absolute gold.
Loved him in TWD and Nope...Glad to see more of him!
Don’t forget Invincible and Minari!
@@jasonnguyen9806 And the movie Mayhem!!!
And Burning, Okja and Sorry to Bother You😀
Yea he was so good in Minarí and Burning. Watch them if you haven’t
I just got back to this clip.I’m proud of you,Steven🇰🇷👏👏👏🎉
I love Steven Yeun his acting ability was impacted many including me... super deep piercing the soul❤❤❤
Beef was so fun to watch.....one outdoing the other it went places I never thought it would.. amazing....🎉
He's great in 'Beef'
Is it really worth watching? I've been debating on starting it.
@@druidictroy1157 it's fun entertainment
@@eneobande7433 cool. I'll check it out. I need something a bit more light hearted for a change.
@@druidictroy1157 It's a funny series but there definite some dramatic, sad moments too.

Re-watching a Must‼️
He carried the show with ease on his back. Such a spectacular actor with a really wide range.
Honestly everyone’s performance felt authentic
He was great, but so were Ali Wong and David Choe. (And everyone in the entire show, but especially those three)
Wife and I marathoned Beef one night and it was hilarious and entertaining all the way through. Steven Yuen and Ali Wong both killed it with their roles!
I seriously think Steven is one of the greatest actors living today
Loved him from day 1 of the walking dead I knew he had this special talent and aura
he’s brilliant! best series of the year!
i loved the show and i love steven, i've been watching him grow for the past 10 years and its awesome to see his success
Consistently good and moving performances, great actor!
easily one of the best new shows of 2023.
im ready for seasons 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6!
He's incredible in Invincible. One of the best animated series out there right now.
I was so impressed with his singing in Beef.
Major props on the quick breakdown of that verse! Respect.
We really enjoy BEEF 🎉. All the actors are so gifted,.. it’s not easy to ensemble a great cast like that,… perfect matches and so supportive, i could feel the happiness
Such a good show, absolutely ace!
he deserves all the success!
He was fantastic in Beef! Can't wait to see what he does next!
This young fellow is so personable and articulate! Young people like this give me a sense of hope.
I love when him and Conan went to the DMZ and they’re roasting the guards for looking like Janet Jackson backup Dancers❤
awesome series, he’s performance is powerful
Beef had some genuinely great performances, especially ali Wong, never seen her being serious and she did great.
He was my favorite actor in TWD, The moment he died I actually stopped mentally engaging in the show and i would pull out my phone.
This show is so truthful and yet funny, and cringe. Small details touched me so much so that I could relate to them. Some of it is probably my story. Perfectly delivered a subject that can be boring to many.
Road rage is something I can totally relate to as a Korean immigrant who lost self esteem and did not know how to manage anger at one point. Now that I look back, it was a reflection of myself strugging in all directions.
Dude can sing and play guitar. Crazy talented
Steven Yeun. He is like a real life actor, and Danny the character he played, was so real and can't not talk about church since. That scene was cool. So cool Man.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE STEVEN! Him and Conan tho.. those two together ❤❤❤
He’s a national treasure
I have liked all of his work. Need more ...
The best show in 2023. I finished all episodes overnight.
Absolutely, I went in it blind and what I got is one of the best horror shows in recent memory.
If only Conan still had his late show... potential of that interview would've been endless
Yeun🎉 is built DIFFERENT
I do 80 and stay in the left lane too! It is comfortable. I do move over if someone is going faster than me). Love Steven Yeun since Walking Dead ❤
I *AM HERE* for this vintage, old man kindda wardrobe thing Stevie (I can call him Stevie right?) has got going on.
70s Dad Vibe. 😂
those "appa" pants - dad's pants in korean. LOL
I was gonna say he’s really coming into that older Korean man fashion and it’s adorable!
hey Ah-juh-si I thought ☺
He’s becoming America’s ahjussi
I saw BEEF, it was off the chart ❤. I didn't know he could sing, incredible ❤
My wife and I binged it too. She stayed up for all episodes, which is a remarkable feat
His awesome acting made the show work so well! 🙏👏
Loved the stories of each character in Beef
I love Steve Yeun!! I forgot how well developed as a person he is 😅😅😅 “cool with a cringe”
I'm so thrilled/happy that Colbert is promoting this show. Ali & Yeun are incredible in BEEF. It's listed as a "comedy/drama" but heed my warning here. There is nothing to laugh at the end of the 1st season (hopefully more!) Episodes 9 & 10 are heart breathtakingly devastating. A24 is my favorite studio, by far.
loving the Satellite rendition at the beginning, really fitting for the soundtrack of the series 🙂
Ali is such a genius 🥰 Always loved her comedy, and she transformed incredibly in Beef, love her!
Beef was way better than I thought it would be..I remember at some point I changed my Netflix rating from "like it" to "love it" during a moment in the show. Really good stuff!
I really look forward to see what he is doing next. He wasn't on my radar before Beef and I wasn't expecting such a variety in his character first. Amazing acting, great voice.
The last scene of this series….chills
I love him so much.
The '80MPH/Left Lane' conversation resolved so many insecurities I have about doing the same thing 😅
For real. I like going fast. When you drive long distances in the US, it feels necessary to keep my sanity. But after my first crash spared my life because I kept semi-adequate distance between me and the car in front of me, I came out just fine. So even while I’m nyooming around the highway, I keep that distance as much as I can.
Same 😅😅
You’re only supposed to be in the left lane to pass
I love this show, it is sooooooooooo GOOD! I love them both. They are so talented! It is soooo relatable! They truly capture the human experience! Also I love his connection to the Lord, When he recited the scripture! I was like yassss! We have all been there! God is so good! 🙌 Dope show!
Love this interview :) and wow, that verse....!
I’ve already watched Beef, but I hadn’t caught that part of the scene where his neighbor decided not to go to the pool because he & his brother were there. Lol
I caught that immediately, lol. More than likely because of the Paul character and his cheesy pick up lines, I'm sure.
love him!!! I pray there are more seasons to beef!
