Tron Ares Greta Korea was originally the best, but the whole world finally came to its senses



Korean-American actor Greta Lee expressed her feelings about the fact that Korean culture is receiving hot attention around the world.

Greta Lee said at a press conference for the movie 'Tron: Ares' held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Ichon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 15th, `Korea already knew it was the best on its own, but the whole world seems to have finally recognized it.'

Released on Oct. 8, 'Tron: Ares' is an overwhelming visual action blockbuster about an uncontrollable crisis that begins with the emergence of the highly intelligent AI weapon Ares from the virtual world to the real world, and is directed by Joachim Roening, who directed 'Maleficent 2' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Dead Don't Have Words'. Greta Lee plays Yves Kim, CEO of IT company Encom and one of the world's most accomplished programmers.




He tried to focus on the human nature of the character, the person itself, on the part that focused on acting"The movie should be for everyone. Yves Kim is analytical and intelligent but a normal person compared to my true self. I wanted to portray the process of a normal person in an extraordinary situation and exerting superhuman power," he said.

For more than 20 years, Greta Lee has built a solid acting position on Broadway, TV series, and movies. He earned a prime-time Emmy nomination for best supporting actress for the TV series The Morning Show, cementing his place in Hollywood. He made his face known in Korea with the movie Fast Lives, which earned him the honor of being nominated for best actress at major awards such as the Golden Globe Awards and Critics' Choice.

Greta Lee said, `I think the whole world is finally waking up and finding out, even though Koreans knew they were the best on their own"I'm so happy when culture, art, fashion, movies, etc. are loved so much, and I feel like the things I was sure of are recognized. I'm very excited because I think these are just the beginning, both as an actor and as an individual. I can't wait to see how much greater the world will find" he expressed his delight.
