Director Bong Joon-ho has been on the scene for some time, with his first film, a short called Baeksaekin (White Man), being released in 1994.

His second movie was a much larger film, Memories of Murder, but sadly it was passed over by the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals.
The Host, Bong-ho’s 2006 movie, was the first which really got a lot of critical acclaim, and it played at the Cannes Film Festival and was even bought for an English-language remake.
