With his impressive range of talents, Steven Yeun has proven time and time again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.
Steven Yeun, the acclaimed actor known for his captivating performances in films like “Burning” and shows like “Invincible” and “The Walking Dead,” is also a talented singer.
In the recently released tv series “Beef,” Yeun showcases not only his exceptional actings kills, but also reveals a hella great singing voice. But did Yeun actually sing in the show? The answer is a resounding yes, and he brought his years of experience as a praise leader in the Korean Church to the role.
In an interview with Krista Smith on the Netflix podcast Skip Intro, Yeun spoke about his deep connection to music and the church. Growing up as an immigrant kid in the Midwest, he found solace and safety in the Korean church, where he could assert himself and connect with others who shared his background and experiences. This deep connection to music and the church undoubtedly informed his portrayal of a struggling musician in “Beef.”
When it came time to perform the musical scenes in the series, Yeun brought his A-game. He poured his heart and soul into the performances, feeling emotional and even nearing tears during the praise songs. Yeun’s ability to convey so much emotion and authenticity through his singing is a testament to his range and versatility as an artist.
What’s particularly impressive about Yeun’s performance in “Beef” is how natural and authentic it looks. Yeun didn’t try to overthink or over-perform the music; he simply went back to what he used to do in high school and let his talent speak for itself. This stripped-down, raw approach to his singing makes it all the more powerful and compelling.
But singing is just one facet of Yeun’s remarkable career. He’s proven time and time again that he’s a force to be reckoned with as an actor, bringing nuance and depth to a wide range of characters.
In “Burning,” he delivers a standout performance as the menacing and enigmatic Ben, while in “Invincible,” he infuses his lead character Mark Grayson with both heart and humor.
Even in smaller roles, like his turn as Ricky “Jupe” Park in Jordan Peele’s upcoming sci-fi thriller “Nope,” Yeun’s natural charisma and talent shine through.
At the end of the day, Steven Yeun is a true multi-hyphenate talent. Whether he’s acting, singing, or doing both at the same time, he brings a raw and honest quality to his performances that is impossible to ignore. We can’t wait to see what he has in store for us next.
