what foreigners may not be able to tell is the brilliance she displays in speaking with a Busan accent when she's a Seoul native. It's very hard to perfect that accent and she did.

So many Korean artists are bringing such a breath of fresh air. Love her aura

[Cid]

We needed more than 6 minutes 😭 Minha is a wonderful actor! Everyone MUST watch the series & read the book.

[GuyVinmara]

I binge-watched it with my wife. As someone whose grandfather survived the Bataan death march of POWs during Japans occupation of the Philippines, this show hit some emotional chords with me. Must watch!

[MsIsnaini]

She's an amazing actress and her style is unique

[t.anderson]

The politeness of Korean actors and musicians is admirable.

[michelrenaud]

How endearing she is. Too bad it was so short. Steven come on, when you have such a lovely guest, smart and interesting, please please, give her more than 6 min!

Pachinko is either the best or second best show Ive seen this year, and Ive seen a lot. She is incredible in it too... I wish Stephen asked her more about Korea under Japanese rule and her grandmother's experience during that time, I don't think many people realise what a truly awful and traumatising time it was for their people. How the Japanese treated them reminds me of stories I've heard from my grandparents about the Holocaust.

[sokhihfx]

The show is absolute epic !! For thousands Koreans it’s extremely sad and emotional. Well done show and amazing book as well. Bravo

[geoafe]

Korea is really making its mark on Hollywood at the moment. Great to see.

[hero]

This show is honestly awesome the acting the storyline the production the emotions wow and minha did a great job

[siiiiiuu]

Pachinko is brilliant and gripping. Hoping for more films and literature highlighting the Asian WWII experience because it's just as tragic and brutal as what went on in Europe, and it's a shame that the average Westerner knows little to nothing about it.

[susmitadas]

Just finished watching season 1 and came across this interview! Kim Minha's accent and voice sounds so powerful! And her acting is the soul of the show for sure

[DDM]

i did NOT know she was an english speaker, simply for the fact that her olde korea accent is so spot on. omg. in this context, her performance on pachinko is freaking amazing.

[baakojernigan]

She's so cute! I love the way she talks even through her nervousness she's still really charming... and her skin is GLOWING

[spacefarerx]

She is an amazing actress. Her performance in Pachinko is so good.

[RobinC]

She’s adorable and a fantastic actress.

[ritwikak]

she is too precious, she carries with her that breeze of freshness in the media that i havent seen in a very long time, this interview too short oh my,

[gingercat]

What a heart breaking the fact it all happened historically.

[katiesaccount]

Oh Stephen is so nice and always brings new foreign artists to the show, I love that! Haven’t heard of Pachinko but now I’m interested, she seems very sweet!
