However, chaos predictably ensues whenJa-Young veryunpredictably shows upand insists on throwing them a traditional Korean wedding banquet.

Her nuanced performance and chemistry with Gi-chan isone of the highlights of Andrew Ahns film.

I feel like the scenes between your character and Min are some of the most touching in the film.

I’m grateful that Andrew accepted my idea.

Even though I couldn’t speak English well, I can tell.

Of course,I’ve been watching him when he was born.

In Korea, we should not talk about it.

It’s a very conservative country, so shes trying to protect him.

That moment, I think we and Andrew did a good job.

I think that character, my character, is avery thoughtful and wise grandmother.

She cannot change him he was born like that and she accepts all the reality.

When you get older, I think you get smarter or wiser.

It’s so beautiful and feels so authentic.

And then, right there, he asked me to do it.

My son was being my manager because I do have a lack of English.

My son said, Should I talk to Andrew?

We can change the date.

I said, Well, it’s okay Im professional.

I’m sure they have a reason why they are shooting this fast.

I don’t know what to say.

If it touched you, then I think we did a successful scene, him and me.

YUH-JUNG: I think next year is my 60th anniversary of my acting career.

To tell you the truth,I’m sure I did everything.

[Laughs] I started freshman year in college, so I played many different roles.

The Wedding Banquet

With my lack of English, it gives me a headache.

So we said no to him first.

It’s not the money.

So I followed my son’s direction, and I did it.

I am so happy that they convinced you to do it because you’re so wonderful in it.

Is there one that really sticks out to you about it?

YUH-JUNG: I only remember a painful day.

[Laughs]

Fair enough.

My leg was aching, and I didn’t know why he was taking so many takes.

I texted his friend, the one who introduced Andrew, Your friend is killing me.

kindly tell him not to take too many takes.

That moment I remember.

That’s so fair.

You pushed through, and you made a great final product.

Is there anything that you’ve got the option to tell us about your role in that series?

I know we’re all very excited for that.

YUH-JUNG: I’m shooting right now.

That one is alsoa billionaire chairwoman who has a husband 20 years younger than her.

That was very interesting.

Did you ever hear of Song Kang-ho, the Korean actor?

He’s inParasite, and he’s everywhere with Bong Joon Ho.

So I’m very curious and excited about how we’re going to play each other.

The Wedding Banquetis now in theaters.
