Gwae Shin-ae, the representative of Barunson E & A, who produced the movie 'Parasite', questioned the 'Bong Joon-ho Content' that is pouring in various forms.

Kwak Shin-ae, who met with journalists at an interview in Samcheong-dong, Seoul on the 21st, pointed out that "I think many books came out without permission from Bong Joon-ho."

A typical example is the learning comic book 'IM ★ Bong Joon Ho' published just before the Academy Awards. This book contains a fictional kid named 'Toto' who learns about film production by following the shooting scenes of 'Monster', 'Oja' and 'Parasite' thanks to his sister who participates in the director's film. .

According to Kwak Shin-ae, director Bong Joon-ho does not know about the publication of this book. Although it is not a biographical book, it is possible to use the name of Bong Joon-ho and raise the issue in that an anecdote about the director appears. It is reported that the publisher will not consult with the director or film company before publishing the book.
He also wondered about the use of the name 'Bong Joon Ho'. Kwak asked the reporters carefully, "Can I just use that term?"

The film industry structural reform legislative preparations group is campaigning online to propose legislation that calls for the unbalanced film industry structure to be improved. Also known as 'Post Bong Joon-ho'. 59 filmmakers including Lim Kwon-taek, Jung Ji-young, Bang Eun-jin, actor Jung Woo-sung and Cho Jin-woong have signed the first signature. Even if the purpose is good, it is worth pointing out that you should have asked for your understanding in advance.

After Bong Joon-ho's 4th place at the American Academy Awards as a 'parasite', Bong Joon-ho's contents are pouring into the general culture. However, it is necessary to raise the issue as these contents are not all made with my consent.
