Whenever I hear an interviewer pronounce “Yeun” correctly, I always flashback to Conan mispronouncing his name for YEARS
Lol and Steven not correcting him for years. That was a funny episode when he finally corrected him.
As korean, I could not even figure out how to pronounce his surname correctly. I always thought it was Yoon which is a common Korean surname and he just spells it differently. I actually just look it up in Korean and I finally found out how it should be pronounced too. yeah he actually pronounces it correctly and like the attitude he tries to pronounce Minari correctly even.
@@KJ-bd2ku
Yoon = 윤
Yeun = 연
Totally different
@@TheRavensHeaven I think the usual romanization would be Yeon, which maybe is also part of the confusion?
Whenever I hear them pronounce Okja correctly too!
Minari was a masterpiece...
Words cannot describe how happy I was to see Steven as the guest today. What a lovely surprise on a boring tuesday.
It was way too short, though.
Glad the talk show circuit is giving Yeun and his film even more chance to shine - it’s a masterpiece.
he's so eloquent when he speaks ugh love him
Minari was an incredible movie! The grandmother was so awesome. Great performances.
Well I’m glad it was a joy for him. I just bawled for two hours. But it was important. And beautiful.
My god he’s so handsome!
Colbert or Yeun? They both are.☺
As a fellow Asian American, I am always glad to see another one succeed by wandering off the beaten path and have the courage and strength of conviction to pursue a different dream.
Im big fan of steven yeun.. 😁
What a great actor - and he seems like a wonderful human!
You got that -James Dean- Steven Yeun daydream look in your eyes
Yeun is just good vibes all around. Anytime I see a new interview with him in it, it just brightens up my mood.
Steven is a really good actor!!!
Saw the movie and adored it
Yeun and the entire cast are utterly phenomenal
Both so classy! Love that Stephen Colbert takes the time to pronounce the movie name correctly.
Edit-typo
Me: *celebrates when I see Steven Yeun in an interview*
Also me: *braces myself to listen to the interviewer ask about how his Asian parents feel about him being an actor*
This. Or "Where are you from? Where are your parents from?" Every damn time.
yep
@@kalenabear aren’t those valid questions to ask?
@@SuperKing604 They are, but this seems to be a pattern just for Asian American or immigrant American guests. When you only have 3 to 10 minutes of airtime, I wish hosts would vary their questions. I don't blame Colbert, just tired of the same questions that perpetuate/reinforce that Asians are still Other, even as they are born or grew up in America.
I'm not as ticked off by the "how do your parents feel" question as by the "where are you from". I do want to vent about my parents' lack of understanding and how AA parents still have a long way to go in being supportive. It needs to be said.
Interesting. I'm always interested in stories of other Asian people who have grown and lived abroad to follow dreams of a better future, which, sadly there isn't a lot of on (main) stream media
It's an important story and they told it beautifully. I can't wait for more people to watch it.
Please do an interview with Yuh-jung Youn as well! She was absolutely phenomenal in Minari!
I can’t wait to wreck my tear ducts with this movie... Just the trailer was already a lot haha
Right?!?
He is so beautiful
60 seconds in and I'm already crying. Can't wait to see this movie.
R.I.P. Glenn!!! 😭😭😭
You should have lived!
Glenn (Steve Yeun) We miss you so much! Such a great actor.
Love Yeun's smiles.
Please have some of the co stars of Minari as guests... Han Ye-ri is an amazing actress.
Hallo ‘A late show ‘ just to say I watch all these clips / the show over in London uk , I love it , makes me laugh & has helped me through these times . Thanks very much .
Nothing drives Improv Comedy like a really empty stomach.
Steven Yeun 😁❤💯 can't wait to see "Marina".
I love him ❤️
Steven’s truly just a lil cinnamon roll
Seems like a cool person. Someone who you wouldn't mind be stuck in an elevator with for an hour or so
Imagining the scenario personally, it doesn't sound that great. Two pretty introverted people, perhaps giving each other a brief smile, perhaps exchanging a few words regarding the practicalities of the situation, inbetween both looking down into the floor. Think we would need at least a month or so in that elevator, then it would be great.
And how many times did I screenshot his face? Not done yet. 😍💖🧜🏾♂️😏
Thanks Stephen ✝️🕊📿
This is so awesome to see Steven Yeun on The Late Show! Just two fantastic Steph/vens having a good chat. 😃😊
Stopped watching "Walking Dead" after he got killed. I want to catch up at some point.. but I'm still pissed -.-
Glenn's death hit me like a ton of bricks. His has been the only character death where I truly cried like a baby.
Oh yeah? Rick is also dead now. And Coral. So no point in watching I guess
Glen’s death was disturbing because it was realistic.
Absolutely I was 😢😫😭😭 he truly was the best person on the show!!!! He literally was there for everyone
SAME! I was freaking devistated!
It's really weird seeing him on Colbert 😂😂 Conan! Where are you? 😂
I miss this guy so much..... cast him!!! The walking dead was the pandemic for him before it was real.
The movie is really great honestly.
Me love Steven yeun ❤️❤️
I m watching it this Sunday
Yeh!
Not one Steven Yuen clip, but Two?!
Stephen, you're spoiling me... :-)
MINARI got nominated for *Best Foreign Film Golden Globe* Nomination.... Leading in Critics choice and SAG.
(Possibly An OSCAR Nomination too)
Foreign film ?
Minari is indeed a masterpiece about diasporic Korean American family but sometimes I wish questions go beyond the familiar tropes of Asian American diaspora.
This dude is dope as heck, with a great future. Queen Latifah needs this much time, regardless of current projects.
love the clip, but isnt it time that people stop asking asian actors about how their parents felt when they decided to pursue an acting career
Completely agree, that is ASIAN STEREOTYPING. They never ask White actors this STUPID QUESTION.
I cringed when he asked that. "Again?"
it will stop in the 3rd generation. :)
@@mrvan12 srsly - i’m a child of immigrants. it isn’t stephen’s fault, though - it’s about stereotypes and expectations!
@@revesmouvants in which State did you grow up in?
Love him in Mayhem.
one of the Best characters on TWD....
I feel like non-Asian actors don't have to answer questions like "how did you tell your parents you want to be an actor?"
I mean my parents set the bar at "don't end up on meth" so I feel like people get the point.
Clearly you don't know any Jewish parents. One of my daughters is an artist, but she makes over $80K a year, so that is OK. But, when she studied art, I got so much guff from my friends for allowing her to study such a nonlucrative field. I guess, since Israel is in Asia, and that's where we originated, we could be considered Asian, but I doubt you meant us when you said Asian. When I was going to grad school, in computer science in the 90s, I mentioned to a fellow student that I was usually the only woman in any class I took, and if there were another woman, she was Asian. She was Chinese-American, and said to me, "You're a Jew, we consider you Asian too." (btw In a Compiler class of over 50 students, she and I got 2 of the 3 "A"s the professor gave, and we were the only women.)
@@deborahfreedman333 Thank you for over sharing your personal experience and context into the void, really lovely :)
Longer interview please.
Steven got lucky with the script and the casts.
Ngl he cute
Glen!
Glenn !!!
I listen to Steven talk and all I hear is Mark Grayson from the animatef series Invincible.
It's wingspan 💚 dude :'3
RIP GLENN!!!
I followed my dreams. HAVE A BACKUP!
50% of the time it works 100% of the time.
Hes like walking dead who?
Man i do miss glenn though. Congrats on everything steven!
Its too bad. Minari A24 screening
Is not available in France😩😭😭
"Minari or ... Minari" (sounded exactly the same) :)))))
Hey how ya been u doin well?
please try interviewing Indonesian artists
As someone who never saw the walking dead, all I hear is Keith 🤓
YES
Title of the clip was misleading because you’d think the question in mind was “What was it like having your father at the Sundance premiere of your film?” or “How was your father’s experience at Sundance?” rather than “Are your parents on board with you being an actor?”
I quit improv yesterday. Now I am worth 2 billion baby carrots.
Maybe let the guest say his final words before shutting him off--unlike other ‘superstar’ guests you joke around so well, Stephen
Take enormous risks with your life. It works out.
Why do they keep asking Asian American celebrities what their parents thought of their career choice? I would have liked to have heard more about this movie.
I still have ptsd from his death scene in walking dead. Oh yeah, spoilers.
Wow he is really cute :) make asian guys proud
someone find this blog
Always the first question Asian American actors get...
This is a commentary on all talk-shows: don’t interviewers have anything better to ask their Asian guests other than how their parents feel about them being in the entertainment industry? No other ethnic groups get asked this, and the answer seldom changes. (no offense to Stephen, because I believe him to be a kind, self-aware person)
We’re trying to NOT seem like pariahs in an industry that already lacks Asian representation... and this question does nothing but further ostracize us based off of invalid stereotypes. Just... do better, @Hollywood.
I don't think Stephen was being stereotypical by asking that question. I have seen that question asked of other people who are also from other countries and continents. The experiences of 2nd or 3rd generation people no matter where their parents come from is interesting and I for one love to hear about it. I want to know how their parents feel because the entertainment industry isn't one where people who do come to America for a better life or for whatever reason, see their kids in. I think it's a legit question, meant not to offend.
This seems like a poorly prepared interview. Yeun clearly has more to offer. Should have been asked more interesting questions than "what do your ASIAN parents think of you being an actor?!" Seriously. Do better, Late Show team.
Ok here I go homelessness be damn
The hardest thing about being an immigrant is the feeling that you don’t really “fit” in any community. Not really accepted as American, but also not really Korean either. We have to speak as if we’re the ambassador for all Korean culture, but really the only way we way have experience is through traditions and story passed down from family and brief reunions. I noticed Steven Yeun was hesitating with answering Colbert when he asked how to correctly pronounce Minari. Because we grew up with English as our primary language, Korean becoming a second-hand back burner, even us Korean-Americans grossly butcher the beautiful Korean language with our elementary level speaking skills. So we can’t really critique you guys if you pronounce it incorrectly because we ourselves aren’t 100% certain we’re saying it correctly ourselves. I’m sure there are a lot of native Koreans out there who are going to attack Steven Yeun after watching this movie, saying how he destroyed Korean language and culture with his ugly and brutish Americanized Korean. ‘How dare he try to speak as if he’s Korean’ ‘What a has-bin’ ‘my little brother can speak better than this dude’ and so forth.... We want to share our story, but we’re expected to tell the narrative from the country’s perspective that best fits their image of what is a Korean-American. I’m just a person that’s American, and neither do I want to ignore my heritage as a Korean. It can be discouraging that for some Koreans, no matter how well you may speak their language or learn of their culture, they will never accept us as Korean enough. Sure we didn’t have a typical Korean school kid’s background, we didn’t have that pressure of seuneung (Korean entrance exams), the pressure to not date and have fun until college. But many of us had parents who celebrated our first birthday Korean style wearing hanbok and having doljabi (picking item ceremony). We were expected to succed academically, although it was easier getting straight A’s in American schools, that did mean having to put our academics before social events many times. We were expected to enter a distinguished and known university Ivy League, UCLA, UC Berkeley, privately distinguished universities like Wesleyan, Northwestern, USC... and to become either a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. Because our parents came to America with the dream that their children will succeed by giving us every opportunity they weren’t given in Korea. This of course limited their outlook into such small job prospectives, and they can’t imagine any other career will bring their child to success. With the added pressure of making our parents proud because they moved to an entirely new country for our well-being, it’s a whole ‘nother level of trying to not disappoint your parents. On top of that because many Asian Americans have similarly the same narrative, parents who immigrated to America for them to succeed and go to a good college, the competition for these schools become fiercer. We are no longer competing against white-Americans for the same spots in college on equal footing. Asian-Americans have to get higher grades and show higher performance results in order to get these spots that they are competing with other Asian-Americans. On top of that, other minorities are given priority before Black-Americans, hispanics, and native americans. The result of affirmative action makes it harder for specifically asian-Americans to enter these good colleges. So I would argue going into these Ivy League and top level schools are just as difficult as entering a university in Seoul. Universities in America purposefully are handing-out a percentage of seats to each demographic, so the playing field isn’t really fair from the beginning. The reason why I’m spending so much time on this is because of how much flack we’re given for not being as studious as other Asians. Yes generally, the average American doesn’t study, but Asian-Americans are above average, they have to be to survive in a competitive environment that does no favors for them, and I would argue even actively tries to give them a handicap. There’s a Harvard study which shows the negative effects affirmative action has been having on Asian-Americans. But because we’re viewed as not as studious as our fellow counter-parts in Asia, we are considered not worthy of calling ourself part of their culture. ‘We never had it as hard as then’ ‘we just took the easy road, running away to another country’ ‘you aren’t really Korean because you didn’t suffer like us living in Korea’. Yes we didn’t go through the same exact lifetime events as Koreans, but just like them we were going through hardships that can be only understood as someone being perceived as a foreigner in another country and having to adjust to a different culture with parents who had no understanding of the social laws and legal knowings the Average American holds. They had to figure out American taxes, housing mortgages, getting loans from banks without getting screwed over by people who will take advantage of their financial ignorance, education finance plans, how to save money, etc.... My parents still don’t know what’s a 401k and how to save for their retirement, the idea of buying stocks and bonds to grow your wealth for retirement, etc... These were things we had to find out ourselves through our own initiative. Nothing is handed to us. Nobody is there to offer advice or help, we have to find it and actively seek for it ourselves. All my parents knew was we had to go to school and get the best grades. SAT and SAT prep schools, college councillors, financial aid, nobody was there to give us pointers, we had to find that ourselves and this was before you can just google it.
I’m really proud of how far Steven has come on his journey as an Asian-American actor. I don’t mean to rant, it’s just I’m sick of people not giving credit due because “they aren’t really Korean so they can never relate to the struggles of Koreans so they have no right to tell their story”. Steven Yeun and every one of those who have worked hard to get where they’re at, they have every right to proudly consider themselves as part of their native culture. Steven Yeun shoudn’t have to walk on eggshells to give an answer about his heritage, he should say it with pride, that yes he’s just as much Korean as the Koreans in Korea. (Doesn’t mean we are exactly the same because of living in a foreign country we have acquired culture from living in another country). You can be both Korean and American. How is that so hard to understand?

please try interviewing Indonesian artists
I like Colbert, but why did he have to ask if his parents were supportive of him going into acting (vs. medicine/ law, etc.)? Asian actors get asked that without fail. C'mon, bruh.
The elated advertisement yearly continue because cappelletti directly shock down a wiry ease. uninterested, disastrous semicircle
Can hosts stop asking Asian American actors how their parents think about their career?? Just reaffirming stereotypes. C'mon Stephen. Do u ask Leonardo DiCaprio what his folks think about Titanic? Enough. On to the next question.
C'mon, what can they do? They are WHITE hosts, after all.
