Congratulations to director Bong Joon-ho for winning the 72nd Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or
Among all the movies in the world produced in the past year, "Parasite" has been recognized as the best one, which is a very glorious thing. For this, I feel as happy as the people who cherish our movies. The completion of a movie, from director to actor, staff, screenwriter, and production, I know that everyone has made endless efforts to make it. Your enthusiasm for the comeback of "Parasite" has created our confidence in our own movies. On behalf of the people, I express my deep gratitude. The name "Bong Joon-ho" who has grown into a world-class director step by step since he was 12 years old is the most proud.
The movie directed by Bong Joon-ho shows the vitality and preciousness of daily life from our daily life. It's really great to look for stories from the mundane. I am very curious about this "Parasite" and look forward to seeing it earlier. This year is a century of meaningful Korean films. In the early morning of this year, we won the Palme d'Or. It is a meaningful gift for the filmmakers and high-level audiences who helped our films grow in the past.
