JAKARTA - Actress Youn Yuh Jung was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at this year's Academy Awards.
Oscar producers announced some rules last month in which the Oscars ceremony would not be held virtually. They ensure the event continues to run smoothly directly by health protocols.
For the nominees who want to come to the event, they have to go to Los Angeles. Therefore, Youn Yuh Jung who accepted the invitation had departed for Los Angeles by plane on April 13.
"Please understand she went quietly to minimize COVID-19 because Youn Yuh Jung chose to attend the Academy Awards after much consideration", said agency source Youn Yuh Jung, Hook Entertainment quoted from JoongAng Ilbo today, April 14.
Minari's film starring Youn Yuh Jung received six nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actress.
