Asian-American Heritage Month Spotlight: Steven Yeun - Actor

Steven Yeun is a Korean-American actor who was born in South Korea before moving to North America with his family. He grew up in Michigan and later graduated from Kalamazoo College with a degree in psychology, which is where he first got interested in acting.

American actor and producer Steven Yeun rose to fame on the critically acclaimed series The Walking Dead. Since then, he has broken into movies with the film Burning (2018) and Minari (2020), the latter of which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.

Acting in Minari, a film about a Korean immigrant family starting their own farm in Arkansas, was a deeply personal experience for Yeun, who is himself a Korean immigrant.
