'Minari' actor Alan Kim says he had to walk his dog before the show

Alan Kim literally stole hearts as he walked the red carpet at this year's Oscars, but the 8-year-old said that before he headed to the 93rd Academy Awards, he had to complete one chore at home.

The "Minari" actor shared an adorable photo on Instagram of him walking his dog before the show.

"It's time for the Oscars, but first I have to walk Cream," he wrote in the caption.

In the photo, Kim is walking his dog while wearing a custom black tuxedo by fashion designer Thom Browne. The tuxedo is a youthful take on a classic tuxedo with shorts instead of slacks and knee high socks.

It's been a whirlwind of an awards season for Kim and his co-stars of the film, "Minari." In February, the film won the award for best foreign language film, and earlier this month, actress Youn Yuh-jung, won awards for best supporting actress for her performance as "Soonja."

Kim also took home a Critics' Choice award last month for best young performer. Upon his win, he gave a tearful acceptance speech.

"Minari" is nominated for six Academy Awards including best picture.
