Here’s How Bong Joon-Ho And The Parasite Cast Celebrated Their Historic Oscars Sweep

Right after South Korean thriller Parasite bagged Best Picture and three extra Oscars at the 92nd Academy Awards, director Bong Joon-ho was ready for a night of drinking and merriment, as he expressed a couple of times throughout his acceptance speeches. Immediately considering that, he had just made history alongside the film's talented cast.


Bong and organization packed up right following the event dissipated and headed out into LA's Koreatown for a late-night celebration at the restaurant Soban. As nearly 50 crew members filed into the restaurant, intended for about 30 people, the party really began popping off because the moviemakers chowed down on some delectable Korean cuisine.


According to Eater, Soban owner Jennifer Pak mentioned Bong had been hungry especially having not eaten all day. She and the kitchen baked up some appetizing gable jjim (braised short ribs), eundaegu morin (braised spicy black cod), galbi (grilled short ribs), and seafood tofu pancakes for a veritable feast. Bong had been a patron at Soban for the past month or so, and this post-Oscars feast had been his celebration destination of choice.


And while there wasn't any word on what sort of drinks were flowing at Soban, you could bet Bong was out drinking 'til morning while completely grubbing on the mouth watering spread. As soon as the festivities were all mentioned and done, but, it was eventually time for Bong and the cast to return to South Korea. As they made their way into Incheon, they were given a veritable celebrity welcome.


The cast wore the hugest grins on their faces as they walked via airport following a whirlwind Oscars adventure. And so they earned it – the BongHive is absolutely thriving. Parasite has opened the doors for foreign language films in a way that's never been done before. And for Bong, well, it looks like the only way from here's up. We can't wait to be able to see what he does next.
