Bong Joon-ho Trivia Questions

Bong enjoys working in Korean but has stated no language barrier; he made 'Snowpiercer' and 'Okja' in English and enjoys the challenge.

He won Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Picture, making history as the first non-English language film to win top honors.

'Okja' (2017) is indeed his film about a giant super-pig, not a killer whale. The mix-up with 'Free Willy' is common.

He never directed for 'The Walking Dead'. He directed an episode of the sci-fi series 'Snowpiercer' based on his own film, but not that zombie show.

His debut feature was actually 'Barking Dogs Never Bite' (2000), a dark comedy about a dog thief. 'Memories of Murder' was his second film.

He does not appear in every film. For example, he has no cameo in 'Parasite' or 'Okja'. He often uses a distinct visual style instead of direct appearances.

The train sets were built practically on soundstages in the Czech Republic, with minimal CGI—mostly for landscapes and the outside world.

He studied sociology at Yonsei University but was in a Catholic club and considered seminary, though he never actually pursued priesthood.
