Parasite director Bong Joon-ho and several South Korean creatives have called for a probe into the circumstances behind renowned actor Lee Sun-kyun’s death.Last month, the 48-year-old actor was found dead in an apparent suicide. At the time of his death, Lee had been undergoing a highly publicised investigation by South Korean police on suspicions of drug use.Earlier this week, the newly established Association of Solidarity of Cultural Artists released a statement calling for an investigation into Lee’s death, per The Korea Herald.
It also urged authorities to “revise the law to protect the human rights of artists” to prevent similar deaths from occurring in the future.The association held a press conference earlier today (January 12), led by Parasite director Bong Joon-ho, who worked with the actor on the award-winning film. Other prominent creatives who spoke at the event include singer-songwriter and Mystic Story CEO Yoon Jong-shin, veteran actor Choi Deok-moon and Choi Jeong-hwa, the head of the Producers Guild of Korea.“I demand that the authorities investigate.
We demand that the police investigate whether there was any lapse in the security of the investigation from the moment the details of the deceased’s investigation were first exposed until two months later,” said Bong, as reported by Variety. “We want to know if there was no individual media contact during the investigation, and we want the results to be made public so that there is no doubt,”“His three police appearances, from the simple reagent test to the negative test, were broadcast live to the media,” the director added.

When is an aspiring sociopolitical satire so exasperated with what it’s supposedly lampooning that its anger and indignation threaten to undermine the irony of what it’s trying to ridicule? Directed by Austrian pair Daniel Hoesl and Julia Nieman, their Sahara dry, deadpan social satire, “Veni Vidi Vici” (Latin for “I came; I saw; I conquered”)— about the untouchable nature of the rich and powerful of the world, and how consequences for their actions have largely vanished — isn’t necessarily that film.
