“The Marvels” director named Yoo Jae-suk as favorite Korean star, fan of Kpop and K-drama?

Nia DaCosta, the director of “The Marvels”, mentioned Yoo Jae-suk in a virtual press conference for the movie 

On the morning of November 7, a virtual press conference for the movie “The Marvels” was held. Nia DaCosta, the director, was present at the event.

During the press conference, Nia DaCosta said, “When I first heard the news of (me) joining ‘The Marvels’, I couldn’t believe it. I was originally a huge fan of the MCU, so I was excited to work on this project.”

The director then continued to reveal her fondness for K-contents, saying, “When I was younger, around 17 to 19 years old, I was deeply into Korean pop culture, including K-drama, movies, and K-pop, regardless of the genre. I watched a lot of dramas, and if you were to ask me who I liked the most, I used to say Yoo Jae-suk. Among the dramas, I liked ‘My Name is Kim Sam-soon’, ‘On Air’, ‘Soulmate’, and ‘Coffee Prince’, and I’m familiar with the actors who appeared in them.” 

On the other hand, “The Marvels” is a superhero action blockbuster in which Captain Marvel Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), who protects the universe, unintentionally forms a new team with Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) and Ms. Marvel Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), as her power causes them to switch positions each time she uses them. The movie is scheduled to be released on November 8.
