Director Bong Joon-ho talks about movies with Son Suk-hee.

It will be on MBC‘s ‘Son Suk-hee’s ‘Questions’’, which will air on Tuesday, February 18 at 9 p.m. Director Bong is about to release ‘Mickey 17’ on February 28. ‘Mickey 17’ is also Bong‘s first work in five years since ‘Parasite’, which won four Academy Awards in 2020. It depicts a story of humans in the near future (2050) being constantly copied and used for space experiments.



Son Suk-hee, who previewed the film before meeting with Director Bong, summarized it as “Bong Joon-ho’s style of mocking future civilization, compassion for humanity, and undeniable fun.” The two met again six years ago after being interviewed for the 2019 film ‘Parasite’. Even then, they delighted viewers with their extraordinary chemistry. In particular, the fact that Director Bong asked Son Suk-hee, “What were you thinking at 7:59 PM on October 24, 2016?” became a hot topic. That was the day JTBC reported on Choi Soon-sil‘s tablet PC. This time, the two continue their ‘Tiki-Taka’ with stories inside and outside the film. These are stories that movie fans can’t miss, from the film‘s social implications, the detailed production technique known as ‘Bongtail’, to Director Bong’s signature so-called ‘Ssari’ scenes.

At the same time, it is said that they had a serious conversation about the current domestic situation. Director Bong is said to have briefly choked up when talking about the late actor Lee Sun-kyun.

MBC‘s ‘Son Suk-hee’s ’Questions‘‘ is currently in its second season, following last summer‘s episode. The first episode, which discussed political issues, garnered attention by recording the highest viewership rating of 8.6 percent nationwide, and the subsequent one-on-one interview with National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik and a discussion on media reports also drew high interest from viewers. This fourth episode of ’Questions‘ has avoided political issues for once. The show will air on Tuesday, February 18 at 9 p.m.
