    The ‘BEEF’ Cast Turns Up the Heat on the Red Carpet

    It was nothing but love between Steven Yeun and Ali Wong at the premiere.

    March 31, 2023

The steak was sizzling at the BEEF red-carpet premiere on March 30 at the Netflix Tudum Theater. From Steven Yeun’s perfectly tailored black suit to Ali Wong’s flowing silk gown, the heat was turned all the way up.

Although everyone was dressed to the nines, Remy Holt, who plays Wong’s daughter, Junie, stole the show with her outfit. The young actor eagerly ran into Yeun’s arms and proudly posed for on-screen dad Joseph Lee’s camera as she wore a traditional red Vietnamese áo dài that her family made.

BEEF, the upcoming dramedy series from Netflix and A24 Studios, follows the aftermath of a road rage incident between self-made businesswoman Amy (Wong) and struggling contractor Danny (Yeun). Take a lesson from the show and be careful who you honk your car at, because you might end up like these two characters who find their lives entangled in a web of revenge and hatred. Throughout the 10-episode series, Amy and Danny’s personal lives unravel as their feud snowballs out of control. Thankfully, it was nothing but love for the co-stars on the red carpet (with the exception of posing with their middle fingers up in true BEEF fashion).

    A group of women in long, modest dresses stand in a dirt area, backs to the camera, with one woman in a cowboy hat, white shirt, black pants, and pink boots facing forward against a backdrop of mountains and greenery.

For Wong, this series couldn’t come at a more perfect time. “I think because of social media, people are on their phones a lot and are really overwhelmed and feel really alone,” she told Tudum. Patti Yasutake, who plays Wong’s mother-in-law, Fumi, was over the moon about being part of this project because of its characters. “I’ve been doing this for about 40 years. To have fully dimensional [characters], to have that voice and that kind of life — when I read the script and got the role, it was something from Heaven,” she said.

Inspired by a real-life road rage incident, creator and showrunner Lee Sung Jin had something to say to the driver who gave him the idea for BEEF. “I’d say to the driver that I got in a road rage incident with, ‘Thank you. This show exists because of you, and I hope you’re having a good day,’ ” he laughed.

Breakout star Young Mazino, who portrays Yeun’s younger brother, Paul, described being at the premiere as surreal. “Despite [Steven and Ali’s] incredible success, they’re some of the realest, chillest human beings I’ve ever encountered or worked with,” Mazino said of his co-stars. Yeun had nothing but praise for his on-screen brother. “Young is great. The thing that I was most surprised by was how little runway he needed to just eat everything,” he shared. “That dude was ready for it.”

Of course, you can’t have a show about road rage without a killer soundtrack full of angsty hits. From Hoobastank to The Smashing Pumpkins, BEEF certainly doesn’t disappoint when it comes to road rage bops. Tudum asked the cast about their go-to songs or artists to play during a bad day, and here’s what they had to say:

Ali Wong (Amy): I listen to Anita Baker!

Steven Yeun (Danny): My go-to angsty song… I’d throw some Rage Against the Machine on there. Actually, The Smashing Pumpkins I listen to a lot, too.

Young Mazino (Paul): Right now it’s probably “Out Getting Ribs” by King Krule. King Krule is, I think, one of the most talented artists of our generation. Also, “Drive” by Incubus.

Patti Yasutake (Fumi): I’m a little more old school. I like Carole King. We were [actually] listening to Pink coming out here, too. 

Mia Serafino (Mia): It’s so funny because Sonny and I have the same taste in music. At the wrap party, he was wearing a Stone Temple Pilots T-shirt, which is one of my favorite bands.

David Choe (Issac): I listen to Spice Girls. 

Andie Ju (Esther): “Weight of Love” by The Black Keys. It’s so good and the guitar in it is amazing.

Get those playlists ready and your foot on the gas pedal, because BEEF premieres April 6.
