TRANSCRIPT
(ethereal music) - [Steven Yeun] Although I'm an artist, I'm not really concerned about so-said art world.
I'm concerned to whole world.
I was born in Korea, and I've been away from my country for most of my life now.
So every day for me is a communication problem.
My problem is how to communicate better.
(ethereal music continues)
