Youn Yuh-jung Shouts Out Fellow Nominees in Acceptance Speech: ‘I’m Luckier Than You’

Tenured Korean actress Youn Yuh-jung won Best Supporting Actress at this year’s Oscars for her gorgeous Minari work, and, you know what, she’s pretty damn happy to get some recognition — if not a little taken aback, given how stacked the Supporting Actress contenders were. “Me being here by myself? This I can’t believe. Let me pull myself together,� she explained during her acceptance speech. “I don’t believe in competition. How can I win over Glenn Close? I’ve been watching so many of her performances. I have a little bit of luck, I think. I’m luckier than you. Or maybe it’s the American hospitality for the Korean actor, I’m not sure.� She added, as a special treat to her family back home, “I’d like to thank my two boys who made me go out and work. This is the result, because mommy worked so hard.� And now, mommy deserves a drag from an e-cigarette.
