Teo Yoo said on the 11th (Korean time), "I am grateful to the KACF officials and members who invited me to this beautiful event today. Through the website, KACF improves the Korean-American community in America and builds a community to promote the development of Koreans and help marginalized people." I looked for meaningful actions, such as doing charity work for the class and those in need. I, too, felt confusion and hardship as a second-generation immigrant born and raised in Germany. So, I was inspired by you and thanked you for this honor. I would like to thank you for receiving the award today. “I will move forward harder with pride. Thank you,” he said in his heartfelt acceptance speech.

Meanwhile, Teo Yoo recently won the Marie Claire Award for the movie 'Log in Belgium' and is about to release the movie 'PAST LIVES'.
