INCHEON -"Parasite" director Bong Joon-ho was greeted with cheers and applause as he returned to South Korea on Sunday after his historic four-Oscar win.
About 300 reporters and fans were waiting to greet Bong as he arrived at the Incheon International Airport. "Thank you for the applause, I would like send a round of applause back to you all for coping so well with the coronavirus," Bong said."Parasite" became the first foreign-language film to win best picture in the 92-year history of the Academy Awards on Feb 9.
It won a total of four Oscars, including best director and original screenplay for Bong Joon-ho and best international feature film. The film is a tale of two South Korean families - the wealthy Parks and the poor Kims - that mirrors the deepening disparities in Asia's fourth-largest economy and has struck a chord with global audiences.Local cinemas and TV channels began a rerun of the film, as well as showing Bong's other films including"Snowpiercer" and"Memories of Murder."
Isn't he absolutely cute and totally unaffected-
Why he is not wearing mask?
👏🏻👏🏻
To all those wondering, the person who introduced it to the world wouldn't need a mask to protect himself from parasites.
Let’s not forget his other work, like SnowPiercer 🌱
Rest well. Mr. Bong. You deserve it.
We will miss you!!! ParasiteMovie BongHive BongJongHo respect
