[SC-BIFF] Steven Yeun “Hollywood strike is for fair compensation and protection”

[Busan = Sports Chosun Reporter Cho Ji-young] Actor Steven Yeun said, “Hollywood’s strike is for fair compensation and protection for artists.”

On the afternoon of the 6th, a press conference for the 28th Busan International Film Festival ‘Korean American Special Exhibition: Korean Diaspora’ was held at the KNN Theater, KNN Tower, located in U-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan. Attending the press conference on this day were actors John Cho, Steven Yeun, and directors Lee Isaac Chung and Justin Jeon.

Regarding the ongoing strike of the Screen Actors Guild, Steven Yeun said, “This strike is to protect artists. It is to give writers and actors good conditions and receive a fair income. In fact, the writer, there are many actors who do not have a safety net. I think it is a privilege just to come here and talk about this. However, unlike me, there are many artists who do not have a safety net. It is sad that there is no safety net in a changing business environment. “It is work. It is work to secure the future.”

Meanwhile, this year’s Busan Film Festival opened on the 4th and will be held in the Busan area for 10 days until the 13th. The opening film was ‘Because I Hate Korea’, a new film by Korean director Jang Geon-jae, and the closing film was ‘The Emperor of Movies’, a new film by Chinese director Ning Hao.
