“Getting warm, warming about my movie, It's just.. It's not realistic to me, actually. Well, thank you for having me anyway.”

Youn has written a new chapter in the 102-year history of South Korea’s cinema by becoming the first ever South Korean to secure a nomination in an acting category of one of the world's most coveted film awards.
