"The Korean word that I loved the most since I started learning Korean after coming to South Korea in 2009 was 'Woori' (meaning 'We'). But I wonder if 'woori' applies to someone like me of color. When I tell people that I'm from Africa, I get a lot of startling questions like, 'Do you grow a lion at your house?' I get it so often that now I just respond by saying that my father has two lions. That's how much Koreans are unknowledgeable about Black people and Africa. I tried to sit in an empty seat and an ahjumma (middle-aged woman) took the seat, outrightly discriminating against me by saying, 'What is a black thing doing here in Korea? Go back to your country'. What hurt more was that the other Korean people just sat there and watched. It made me wonder if Koreans just watch foreigners without helping them in difficult situations. Often, people in Korea call me 'Black Hyung'. I want people to call me Okyere hyung comfortably, or Okyere dongsaeng, or just Okyere without referring to my skin color." - Sam Okyere

Ben yer yön bilmez bir adamdım nihayetinde. Pusulanın icadından bahsederler bana, dünyanın büyüklüğünden bir de. Karınca yuvalarının ağızları güneye bakar, kutup yıldızı her zaman kuzeyi gösterir. Anlarlar mı bilmem.. Ben sana bakacak bir yön bulurum nasılsa...

"I really liked being able to film with him. He has the basics down of elegantly being considerate toward another person. I learned a lot from him and, as an actor, he inspired me in many different areas. It really hit home that I might never be able to meet such a character at another time. I also wanted to try all of the action scenes myself, so I grew ambitious. It was very hard, but I felt like I achieved a lot because of that." - Hyun Bin
