BTS’s V Congratulates Director Bong Joon Ho On His Award At The Oscars

It was a historic moment for the Korean film industry as director Bong Joon Ho took home four trophies at the 2020 Oscars. The movie Parasite took home a total of four awards including Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best International Film, and Best Picture.

This is special because it is the first time a foreign-language film has ever been awarded Best Picture at the Oscars.

"Parasite" made history sweeping the #Oscars as the first foreign film to win Best Picture.
