Joon-ho Bong
Director, Writer
Daegu, South Korea
Bong Joon Ho (, poːŋ tɕuːnho → poːŋdʑunho; born September 14, 1969) is a South Korean film director and screenwriter. His films include South Korean hits Memories of Murder (2003), based on a true-life serial murder case, monster movie The Host (2006), and his first English-language film, science fiction adventure Snowpiercer (2013). His latest film is Okja (2017), a South Korean-American film, which competed for the Palme d'Or in the main competition section at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. Okja was subsequently released by Netflix on June 28, 2017. Korean film industry insiders have nicknamed him "Bong Tae-il," which, pronounced in Korean, sounds similar to the word "detail". Though he displays a fascination for strong subject matter, his films are filled with (often black) humor and sudden mood shifts.
