American-Korean drama film Minari has just become the second-ever Korean language film to be win at the Golden Globe Awards.
The Golden Globe Awards previously announced their full list of nominees for their various award categories, and Minari took the victory out of the nominees for Best Foreign Language Film, beating out Denmark’s Another Round, Guatemala and France’s La Llorona, Italy’s The Life Ahead, and France and the United States’ Two of Us.

While Minari was listed as a United States production, the movie’s dialogue heavily contains Korean, making it eligible to be nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.
Last year, Parasite became the first-ever Korean language to win an award at the Golden Globe Awards, winning Best Picture – Foreign Language. The movie was also nominated for two other awards, but did not win them. Bong Joon Ho was nominated for Best Director, and the duo of Bong Joon Ho and Han Jin Won were nominated for Best Screenplay.
Minari tells the story of a Korean family that moves to Arkansas, United States, and the struggles they face as they try to adjust to a brand new language, lifestyle, and world. The movie will be released in South Korean theaters on March 3. Watch the trailer for Minari below:
