Interviews with Asian American actors just 15 years ago was about their identity- their race, where they were from, what their parents think - today, interviews are about the work, the talent, the person- like any other actor...finally.
This is one of the most important movies in my lifetime as a Korean American. Playing godori with your grandma and or put in stress positions is an unwritten tradition for any Korean kid growing up. It’s beautiful to see these well known Korean idiosyncrasies on film for the world to see.
He gave one of the best perfomances of the decade with Burning and a brilliant wholesome performance in Minari. It's only time he won an Academy Award.
Steven Yeun is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. Yum, and indeed, yum. We now return to more appropriate remarks about his acting ability and latest film projects.
I was honestly looking for a possible Conan interview. I mean he and Conan have insane chemistry. I really goes on there soon. Their Korea series is the funniest thing I've seen on the internet.
As devastated as I was at his character's death on Walking Dead (man, that whole bit of BRUTAL - stopped watching for a while) - so happy his acting career continues to thrive
He can't get a role in hollywood. He's been doing Korean movies and this is his first semi American indie. He was doing reading auditions for BS bit roles after TWD.
Oh my heart! 😭 Poor sweet child dropped into the Canadian west, of course he had to learn "don't cry" first. (I'm basing this on my experience of the Canadian west. Not a lot of open minds out there, especially back then. 😬) My heart aches for that poor sweet baby. 💔 It's good to see that he's channeled that experience into something positive.
Oh, Steven....I know how it feels to come to a foreign country and just get thrown into a school. I, too, am Korean-American who came to the US at 9 years old. When my teacher asked me a question on my first day of school, I just cried my eyes out. That's how my life in the US started. Can't imagine what a 5 year old went through, being the only non-white...probably in the whole town. Breaks my heart.
I'm lucky to say I was an early member and one-time leader of Monkapult. I worked with Jordan, but graduated before Steven joined. I'm glad it has thrived and served in some small way as a starting point for these great performers.
Yeun should be cast in more leading roles. Bobby Lee detailed on his podcast, how he ran into Yeun at an audition. Even after being on several seasons of The Walking Dead, he STILL has to audition! Yet actors at that level, mostly get offered the role without it.
Steven Yeun today IS the Asian American Denzel Washington of the 1990s....if Hollywood keeps recognizing Asian American talent and show Asian Americans as real people, not only with audiences have better entertainment and original stories, god willing there will be an Asian American best actor or actress in my lifetime or in my kids lifetime.
I'm a bit late to the game but I just watched the film. As a 23-y.o. Korean American, definitely made me tear up at moments but also laughed just as much. Everyone was special, but I think Alan Kim (the boy) stole the show. I got really excited when the grandma pulled out the hwa-tu (or go-stop) cards. Played that with my family constantly growing up. And when the grandma brought the mom myeulchi.
So the minari is metaphoric of the immigrant experience, one could say. The first generation "dies" and the hope is that their children, the second generation, will thrive. I'm looking forward to seeing this film.
I want to cry whenever I am in Regina too 😜 Just jokes. Never knew you had local connections. Way to represent. Congrats. Also, it's always nice to hear someone pronounce "Saskatchewan" correctly!
He seemed pretty much typical Korean look aside from K-pop boy band put so much make up on. I am super proud and glad to see him as a walking dead fan, he's been successful in the USA and back in South Korea where his origin from his parents. Hope to see him on Conan, stimulating more fun, wit side of humanity.
Why has no one commented on how low Steven’s energy is in this video? Steven is a jovial, happy guy in every interview. Maybe the kids are stressing him out? Idk. Seems off though. 🤔🤷🏽♀️
Goddamnit he's just devastatingly handsome.
Indeed
How come nobody is saying how handsome he is.
Don't worry, the female amd gay half of the audience is definitely thinking it.
I was getting there 🤣
We’re not saying it cause everyone knows it. And so does he. He’s working the camera.
Because it's just beating the dead horse at this point.
So handsome
That “don’t cry” story just killed me with the cuteness...

Playing "go-stop" you mean, right?
I'm looking forward to seeing this film with my fellow Korean-American friends.
@@추또티비 it's called as godori too. go-stop = godori = hwatoo

An Asian male? Has it ever happened?
@@Jon-br8co not in a leading role yet, but yes it has: ruclips.net/video/p9FgzH4xizU/видео.html
@@Jon-br8co Not that I know of
Burning is one of my favourite movies; he was amazing in it
Never seen him before but gosh, he's gorgeous and looks like he's kind and has emotional depth. Definitely watching his work from here on out.
You have good eyesight.
He's known for his role in the walking dead
Steven Yeun is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. Yum, and indeed, yum.

He really is very handsome
He absolutely is and looks 17 at the age of 37.
He is Korean gorgeous, which is more gorgous an all the other kinds of gorgeous.
So talented, charming and ridiculously good looking
Yeun is such a sweetheart
“Don’t Cry” is a perfect title for his autobiography.
Minari is an amazing film. It’s not trying to be Hollywood-like. It’s just trying to be a film of its own, which is great.
YAHS IM SO GLAD HES FINALLY GETTING THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES
Steve Yuen is baby daddy for life can’t tell me nothing.
I’m surprised Yeun hasn’t been on Conan yet to promote his movie, thought they are pretty close
It's monday, possibly the beginning of a press tour, I'd imagine he'll be on soon.
I was honestly looking for a possible Conan interview. I mean he and Conan have insane chemistry. I really goes on there soon. Their Korea series is the funniest thing I've seen on the internet.
He just went! And its a face to face meeting so I bet its more meaningful than I expected his promotion to be
The fact that he wasn't nominated for something for Burning is criminal.
His acting in Burning was the purest art as it can be.
Dude!! So true!!
Steven Yeun deserves all the awards! What an incredible person and actor!
why did "hey steven!" "hey steven" make me laugh lol
Absolutely Loved the movie MINARI, with brilliant acting and story. This IS one of the best movies that will stay with me for many years.
As devastated as I was at his character's death on Walking Dead (man, that whole bit of BRUTAL - stopped watching for a while) - so happy his acting career continues to thrive
He can't get a role in hollywood. He's been doing Korean movies and this is his first semi American indie. He was doing reading auditions for BS bit roles after TWD.
@@trex1448 you do know that minari is actually an american drama film, right?
One of my favorite actors... Way too underrated in my opinion. Fax
I’ve met him and he’s one of the kindest celebrities I’ve ever met. He deserves all of his success.
All TWD actors are so kind. True story.

This interview wasn't long enough. Steven needs to be invited to more shows, even if he isn't promoting anything.
Check out his episodes with Conan O'brien. Hilarious!
Minari was a masterpiece...

Steven’s doing interviews!! I’m ready for people to ask him about what his parents think of his career
Watch the next clip for a kinda answer
He tells a cute story about his parents on an old clip from Conan. Just RUclips his name.
Yes, one of the 1st questions Asian actors get asked without fail.
So happy to learn more about what Steven Yeun is doing!
I'd go to bat for this guy anytime. He's got a real head for acting. Keep an eye on him!
Too soon?
울지마 😭😭😭

Agreed. It's very strange. It's hollywood though.
yes, then people might actually spell his last name right.
@@LifeDestroyed My bad. Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed now!
😀👍
"Don't cry" that's the saddest thing I've ever heard ㅠㅠ
Can't stop smiling he's so handsome and I feel bad because he's talking about something so important
One of the best films I've seen in a while.
Love this guy so enormously talented and yes good looking too!
I am so stoked to see this. Usually when movies are set in my home state, it’s about meth. This will be a nice departure from that.
I love him Sm , Minari was a masterpiece ✨
Aw adorable man.
I miss you Steven Yeun!!!!
Wow his headwound healed up nicely!
All I know is he beautiful AF!!! Boy, that smile and those teeth are EVERYTHING!!! 😫💖😭💖🧜🏾♂️😏
OMG - So early 😱
I cried when his character got killed in WD 😭 It was so tragic, absolutely heart breaking after all he’d been through!!
I never got back in TWD properly after he was killed 😭
He needs more recognition
I love Steven Yeun so so much T_T 스티븐 연기 너무 감동적이다 워킹데드 주연배우다 진짜 그동안 매력적인 연기 감사해요 미나리 얼마나 보고싶다
Yeah....a lot of began our "mask work" at the entry of public school. I like this guy.
2:58
steven: the first english words i learned was "don't cry"
WELL GREAT NOW IM CRYING LMAOOOOOO
God bless you Steven and Stephen looking forward to seeing your movie
Oh my god! I also cried so much when I first moved to America when I was 8!
Love that Steven's room decor looks like it got stuck in the 80s. Reinforces how down to earth he is.
Love you Stephen
The Korean film he's in, The Burning, is amazing.
I have a crush on Steven. Such a hot cutie. Even more importantly he is such a talented actor
Hes an Asian Elijah Woods same mannerisms, smile, and vibe... so pure and wholesome 🥰...
he’s beautiful
My favorite character in the walking dead.
Steven Yeun today IS the Asian American Denzel Washington of the 1990s....if Hollywood keeps recognizing Asian American talent and show Asian Americans as real people, not only with audiences have better entertainment and original stories, god willing there will be an Asian American best actor or actress in my lifetime or in my kids lifetime.
Very talented and handsome he is!!!
this guy gives me hope sad yet true
Haven’t watched the movie yet, but minari is one of my favorite vegetables.
2:29
Here I am from Regina. SK. Canada. Korean who wants to work in the media business! What a motivation haha.
“Don’t cry” is also great advice for watching s7 ep1 of TWD
Wonderful interviews 💌
Love hearing the shout out for K and Monkapult!
Kalamazoo College is excellent. I went there and grew up in the city. I first watched theater there decades ago.
@@11KazooKid K ‘13, go Hornets!
I found it hard to follow what he was saying as I fell into his deep, dreamy eyes.
Ahhh and that smile.
He is so handsome I have to reply this multiple times to pay attention to what he is saying cause I keep getting distracted
I loved him in TWD. I lost interest when his character died. It’s great to see him again. Haven’t heard about this movie.
Mayhem and the walking dead was great by steven. He should have won awards for his acting in the walking dead. So great!
Soo talented!!!!
Steven Yuen excelente ator que volta a ter destaque com sua atuação em Minari.👏👏👏
Steven Yeun on reverse aging, everybody! 👏👏👏👏
I love him ❤️
Colbert: Live on a Sunday with RDJ
Everyone: The best A LATE SHOW
Ooh I’ve been meaning to check out this movie, glad I’ll get a chance to see it soon
He is a really handsome guy
Omfg ! So happy to see Yeun here with Colbert show. Can't wait for his movie. But his rapport with Conan is the best. Good going Yeun.
OMG a full shoutout for K!
I'm a bit late to the game but I just watched the film. As a 23-y.o. Korean American, definitely made me tear up at moments but also laughed just as much.

Can’t wait to see it!
11/10 Good job Stephen for not asking Steven about how his parents felt about him acting.
Watched part 2, and I spoke too soon
Please get together with Conan again!!!! I love you two together!!!
The spa episode was 🤣🤣🤣
So the minari is metaphoric of the immigrant experience, one could say. The first generation "dies" and the hope is that their children, the second generation, will thrive. I'm looking forward to seeing this film.
how was it?
Awesome dude from Regina Saskatchewan,Canadian. Peace out 🇨🇦😷💙
omg I'm watching this at 9 30 in the morning while having my cofee
Stephen Colbert it's too early to have a heart breaking moment snif
Hot Take: killing Glenn... Killed The Walking Dead
💯 I stopped watching right then and there.
@@hrock8081 yep I get it!
Hey you in the tank! Feel cosy there?
Awww...I love love Steven and I totally MISS GLENN RHEE.
So happy that his acting career just thrives after TWD.
"Mayhem" was a fun movie with him in it
He is such a BRILLIANT HUMAN!! 💜🌏💚🌍💋✌🌙🌈
Stopped watching TWD(spoiler alert) when Steven character got killed off.
Same!
Me too - that whole bit was devastating and traumatic - I was invested in those characters
Yup
I pushed to the beginning of season 8 but I'm not interested in the show anymore.
@@Bexinnamon I may watch again so TY for no spoilers. Lol any show you would recommend?
Hey Steven!
Hey Steven!
I want Yeji interview too.
Glenn healed up, i mean cleaned up great since the walking dead😶
I want to cry whenever I am in Regina too
😜 Just jokes.
Never knew you had local connections. Way to represent. Congrats. Also, it's always nice to hear someone pronounce "Saskatchewan" correctly!
Minari is a vegetable. You have them, ‘watercress’. It grows in shallow water, normally. Yummy in salad and soup.
Ayye Saskatchetoon gang!
He seemed pretty much typical Korean look aside from K-pop boy band put so much make up on. I am super proud and glad to see him as a walking dead fan, he's been successful in the USA and back in South Korea where his origin from his parents.

Interesting story behind the plant, as it pertains to second generation immigrant families. I'll have to watch the movie....
