Golden Globe winner Sandra Oh thanked her parents in Korean and people are loving it

"Oh Daddy," Oh emotionally started her speech before thanking writer and executive producer, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and author Luke Jennings, whose novellas inspired the series about an M15 agent.

The actress then took another moment to single out her parents who were in attendance in a sweet moment.

"Mostly, there are two people here tonight that I am so grateful that they are here with me. Id like to thank my mother, my father," said Oh, steppingaway from the mic to bow to them before speaking to them in Korean.

Oh's father bowed in return.

Fans not only loved the tender moment on stage, but also gushed over how proud her parents looked at their daughter. Her father gave her a standing ovation.

This was Oh's second Golden Globe win. She previously won a best supporting actress award in 2006 for her role on "Grey's Anatomy." Still, it was a big moment for Oh. The actress told Ellen DeGeneres in 2007 that she is the only sibling in her family who doesn't have a master's degree.

"It was very, very tough," Oh said on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" of pursuing an acting career in her family. "Because, like, you know, my parents at that time really looked down on the arts. It was hard. It's like one step above, you know, prostitution."

"It's a different thing," she added. "They'd go, what is the social purpose of what you're doing? Because they really instilled in all of us, my sister, my brother, that whatever you have to do has to be good for society. What's the good of being on camera? What are you helping society with?"

This isn't the first time Oh has brought her parents to an awards show.

Can we have them back at the show with her every year?
