Apple TV+ star “Pachinko” Kim Min-ha made her first U.S. appearance on a late-night show on Friday, according to her agency Saram Entertainment on Tuesday.
Kim appeared on CBS talk show “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and discussed her role in “Pachinko” (2022) and her rapid rise to stardom.
She spoke in English for the six-minute interview and taught host Colbert some Korean phrases from his favorite movie “Lord of the Rings.”
Last week, Kim appeared on CBS’ Saturday Morning Show.
“In the midst of this period when such horrible things are happening around them [the show’s characters], they were trying to keep things steady with their love. I think that’s the most powerful message we have,” Kim told the morning show host on May 21.
“Pachinko” premiered on March 25 and is based on a novel of the same title by Korean-American author Min Jin Lee. It follows four generations of ethnic Koreans in Japan, known as Zainichi Koreans. The series has been confirmed for a second season.
Kim played the main character Sunja in her youth. Oscar winner Youn Yuh-jung plays the older version of the character.
