The "father" of Parasite was sacrificed for praising Rosé, ignoring Lisa, a Korean fan

Expressing his love for BLACKPINK but ignoring Lisa, the male director immediately received mixed reactions. Some people even accuse him of discrimination or worse, watching Thai female idols.

On the morning of March 5, Allkpop newspaper reported that the most powerful director in the Korean entertainment industry Bong Joon Ho (the father of the blockbuster "Parasite") is currently in the spotlight because he is suspected of watching Lisa. Accordingly, the male director recently attended an interview for the YouTube channel BuzzFeed Celeb and named BLACKPINK when asked about his favorite K-pop group.

Notably, when asked about his favorite member, Bong Joon Ho completely ignored Lisa's name: "Rosé, Jisoo, Jennie, all of them". Not stopping there, the "father" of Parasite also innocently joked when he learned that Rosé was interviewed for the YouTube channel BuzzFeed Celeb: "It seems that I am destroying this wonderful sho.w. Beautiful people like her should have appeared here."

Bong Joon Ho's understanding of BLACKPINK has surprised and delighted many fans in the land of kimchi. They were impressed that an international director not only knew the group but could also remember the names of the three members. However, his failure to mention Lisa - the only member who does not have Korean citizenship has caused a strong reaction from some Thai netizens.

On forums in the land of the golden temple, Bong Joon Ho was attacked violently: "He talks about diversity (skin color, culture) in his films. Yet it is so discriminatory and discriminatory"; "Isn't this a typical type of discrimination?"; "I'm not a Lisa fan but I still feel very uncomfortable. The way the male director told the names of the other 3 members but didn't want to mention Lisa's name was really outrageous"... Even a part of netizens even disliked the appearance of the "father" of Parasite.

In response to the comments from Thai netizens, many Korean viewers defended the male director: "Such reactions are somewhat outrageous"; "It's one thing that he didn't mention Lisa, but to leave such hateful comments is too real." "He only names his favorite members. There are also people who love a group but only prefer a certain member"; "Leave him alone. He's U60, is he really interested in Kpop? He makes movies, not shoots Kpop MVs"...

Up to now, Bong Joon Ho has not officially spoken out after being questioned about watching BLACKPINK's youngest brother. This incident once again reflects the sensitivity in the K-pop fan community and how idols, as well as celebrities, can become the focus of controversy just because of a seemingly harmless statement.

While the "father" of Parasite may merely refer to the names he remembers or his favorite himself, the reaction from a section of fans has turned this into a debate about culture, identity and fairness in the entertainment world.

Bong Joon Ho is considered one of the greatest directors in Korean film history. In the history of more than 100 years of cinema in the land of kimchi, no director has won the Palme d'Or and 4 Oscars like him. In addition to "Parasite", Bong Joon Ho also made a strong impression on experts thanks to a series of works that "make it rain and wind" such as The Monster of the Han River, Snowpiercer (Frozen Train)...

Few people know that in the past, Bong Joon Ho experienced a period of blockade in the Korean entertainment industry that lasted from 2008 to 2016. Specifically, in the midst of a career that was sublimating after the success of "Monster of the Han River", the male director was suddenly listed on a blacklist. The artists on this list do not receive much support for artistic activities in the land of kimchi.
