BONG JOON-HO DID PROTEST

In an earlier post I wondered where Bong Joon-Ho (THE HOST) was in all these one-celeb protests to support Korea's quota system. I had seen news about Ryu Seung-wan, Park Chan-Wook, and Choi Min-Shik protesting but nothing on Bong. But now, Gege sends in the news that Director Bong participated in the mass protest, as well as doing a one man protest, as well as photographic evidence to back it up. Yay, Bong!

And in other news, on Saturday THE HOST passed THE KING AND CLOWN's record of 12.3 million tickets to hit 12.37 million tickets sold, officially becoming the most popular movie in Korean film history. It hit this mark in 38 days, as opposed to KING AND CLOWN which hit it in 112 days and now Bong has been given the keys to Korea and when he walks down the street everyone has to give him their umbrella and their change if he asks.
