Apple TV+'s "Pachinko" breakout star Kim Min-ha made her first American late-night show appearance on Friday, according to her agency Saram Entertainment on Tuesday. 
 
Kim appeared on CBS talk show "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and discussed her role in "Pachinko" (2022) and her rapid rise to stardom. 
 
She spoke in English for the six-minute interview and taught the host Colbert some Korean sentences from her favorite movie "Lord of the Rings."
 
Last week, Kim appeared on CBS's "Saturday Morning Show." 
 
"In the middle of this time when such horrible things are happening around them [the show's characters], they were trying to keep the things stable with their love. I think that is the most powerful message that we have," Kim told the host of the morning show on May 21. 
 
“Pachinko” premiered on March 25 and is based on a novel of the same title by Korean-American author Min Jin Lee. It follows four generations of ethnic Koreans in Japan, known as Zainichi Koreans. The series has been confirmed for a second season.
 
Kim played the lead character Sunja in her younger days. Academy Award winner Youn Yuh-jung plays the older version of the character.
