It would be safe to assume that no other South Korean filmmaker apart from Park Chan-wook has achieved mainstream success in Hollywood than Bong Joon-ho. If Oldboy brought about critical success for Park Chan-wook all over the world, it was Bong Joon-ho’s Memories of Murder, which was coincidentally released in the same year, that garnered him global acclaim. Both filmmakers are known for their extensive use of black humour and sudden tonal shifts in the movie.
His films, such as his Hollywood debut, Snowpiercer, often revolve around the themes of social and class differences. In 2019, he directed Parasite which went on to receive several accolades, including four Academy Awards, and established himself as one of the best filmmakers across the world.
