Park Seo Joon explains how Parasite is proof that Korea's storytelling deserves the recognition it's receiving
Korean movies and dramas have always been a source of inspiration for storyline purposes from all across the world but it took Bong Joon-ho's Parasite to finally get it the recognition that it sorely deserved for decades. At the Oscars 2020, Parasite made history as not only the first non-English language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture but also the first movie from South Korea to win Best International Feature Film. Furthermore, Parasite also took home the Oscar for Best Director (Joon-ho) and Best Original Screenplay (Joon-ho, Han Jin-won) while being nominated for Best Production Design (Lee Ha-jun and Cho Won-woo) and Best Film Editing (Yang Jin-mo) as well.
