It’s important.Īre there any ways in which your South Korean heritage influences your approach to your work? They’ve never seen someone from their generation doing something creative, like being a comedian or voice actor. I also think it’s interesting because there’s a stereotype for the second generation, their parents want them to be successful doctors and lawyers.
They are proud of being Korean, and those fan letters make me happy. It was the first time they heard a Korean-speaking character on a major TV show. How does it feel to voice a children’s cartoon character on American TV who only speaks Korean? One of the characters you voice, Lady Rainicorn, speaks Korean. The storyboard stage, animation, making the sound and music-everything! COVID-19 Goblin by Niki Yang This involved more storyboarding and directing, and I loved it. At CalArts every year you have to produce shorts. I learned I was really crazy about making shorts. It was a good experience to know that’s not my thing. Then I tasted a bit and didn’t like it that much. I always thought I wanted to do character design. How did your time at CalArts shape your career as an animator?įortunately, in my second year I had an internship. Once I started going there, I was exposed to filmmaking and animation.
So I thought, maybe I can start by designing cartoon characters, and that’s how I found CalArts. It was pretty much an underground culture, and I didn’t know how to be a comic book artist. When I was young I wanted to do comic books, but there was no school for that in South Korea. I read a lot of comic books and manga, and I was interested in drawing and art, but the dots connected much later. As a child did you dream about working in the animation industry?
