“Legendary Korean star Yuh-Jung Youn will be the recipient of the 2021 Spotlight Award, Actress for her role in Minari by the Palm Springs International Film Festival.
“In her first-ever American feature film, Minari, Yuh-Jung Youn wonderfully portrays a feisty and foul-mouthed grandmother whose Korean-American family has suddenly moved from California to a hardscrabble farm in Arkansas. Hers is a performance that crosses culture and language, one that fully reveals the skills of her long, brilliant career,” says Festival Chairman Harold Matzner…”
