Youn Yuh-jung from the film 'Minari' won the Best Supporting Actress award at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards.

On the 5th (Korean time), SAG announced Youn Yuh-jung as the winner of the Best Supporting Actress award during a pre-recorded ceremony. This is the first time a Korean actor has won an individual award at the SAG Awards. Last year, the cast of 'Parasite' received the ensemble award, known as the 'Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.'

Youn Yuh-jung won the trophy over Maria Bakalova from 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm,' Glenn Close from 'Hillbilly Elegy,' Olivia Colman from 'The Father,' and Helena Zengel from 'News of the World.' Upon confirming the award via video call, she choked up, saying, "I don't know how to express this feeling. I am so honored." She added, "I am even happier because this is an award chosen by actors. Thank you." She then pointed to each of the other nominees?Bakalova, Close, Colman?and expressed her gratitude.
