A version of this story about Bong Joon Ho and “Parasite” first appeared in the Down to the Wire issue of TheWrap’s Oscar magazine.
When Bong Joon Ho finished a mid-October interview and photo shoot for the cover of TheWrap’s first print issue this season, he stopped on his way out of the office to meet our film team. As one-by-one they told him how much they’d loved his film “Parasite,” Bong broke into a sheepish grin. “This is getting embarrassing,” he said.
In the three months since then, it’s safe to say that Bong Joon Ho has had plenty more embarrassing moments. He and his wickedly twisted black comedy have been the hit of the awards circuit, with the director and his actors picking up famous fans from Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio to Guillermo del Toro, who hosted a starry party for the film in early January.
