If it weren't for a producer's persistence, the movie that just won best foreign-language film at the Golden Globes might have been made in English instead.
"Minari" writer-director Lee Isaac Chung said that he knew he wanted to tell the story in Korean but feared that would be a tough sell for would-be backers.
Luckily, Chung says, producer Christina Oh, who's also Korean American, supported his vision.
In recent months, controversy erupted over the Golden Globes' rules, which made "Minari" eligible for best foreign-language film but not best picture because more than 50% of the movie is not in English.

Donald Trump says he has no plans to launch a new political party, telling a conservative conference in Florida that it would split the Republican vote.
In his first speech since Joe Biden became president, Trump repeated his false claims that he lost November's election because of electoral fraud and also hinted that he might run for office again in 2024.
Trump strongly criticised his successor, saying US policy had gone from "America first to America last". The mood at the conference has been described as extremely pro-Trump.
Despite losing the 2020 presidential election and being deeply criticised over the January riot, reports suggest Trump remains extremely popular among his voting base.

As many as 200 ancient Japanese maps defined Dokdo in the East Sea as Korean territory. The Dokdo Foundation said it has secured the undisputed evidence to deny Tokyo's territorial claim to Dokdo after examining around a thousand old maps owned by various local institutions.
Dokdo appears in roughly 400 of the maps examined, with 200 of them labelling the islets as Korean territory.
According to the foundation, dozens of ancient maps designating Dokdo as Korean were published by the Japanese government in 1894, 1903, 1929 and 1941.
Japan has consistently claimed sovereignty over the territory, which has rich fishing waters and abundant natural resources.
