The cast of the critically acclaimed film Minari has added another feather to its cap!

The film received several important nominations at the 2021 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Score, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor (Steven Yeun), and Best Supporting Actress (Youn Yuh Jung).
Youn Yuh Jung made history as she became the first Korean actress to win the coveted Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actress category for her beautiful performance as Soonja! Now, the actors have added more glory to their illustrious careers and the undeniable impact of the film! On July 1, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the famous organization that holds the annual Academy Awards, officially announced that it had invited 395 artists and executives to join as new members this year.
Minari stars Youn Yuh Jung, Steven Yeun, and Han Ye Ri, as well as director Isaac Lee Chung, have all been invited to join as voting members.
