[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] Director Byeon Young-joo and music writer Bae Soon-tak, who appeared on JTBC's 'Banggu-seok 1-yeol', expressed their expectations for the film 'Parasite' to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.

The JTBC program 'Banggu-seok 1-yeol' airing on the 9th will be a special episode dedicated to the Academy Awards.

In this episode, Director Byeon Young-joo and music writer Bae Soon-tak will appear to discuss 'The King's Speech', which won four awards including Best Picture in 2011, and 'Green Book', which won three awards including Best Picture last year.

During the recording before the broadcast, Director Byeon especially expressed joy about Director Bong Joon-ho's 'Parasite' being nominated in six categories at the 92nd Academy Awards, saying, "The fact that Director Bong Joon-ho stands shoulder to shoulder with world-renowned masters like Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and Sam Mendes is already like a festival for us."

Writer Bae added, "If 'Parasite' wins Best Picture this time, it will be the first non-English language film to do so," and added, "It will be the first film in 64 years to win both the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Picture simultaneously."
