By Kim Masters • • 28m ListenSteven Yeun joined us in the studio recently to talk about his role in the Oscar-shortlisted Korean film ‘Burning.’ But we covered many more topics in our conversation, so we’re airing that part of our interview for the first time now. Yeun tells us about the fateful audition that gave him his start in Hollywood. He also explains why after ‘The Walking Dead,’ he’s embraced roles in movies with Korean directors.

We visited him on the set when that movie was shooting and talked about the transition from making Spanish-language films--to working in English. We talk to him and his crew about being in “the vortex.”
