[Asia Economy Reporter Son Sun-hee] President Moon Jae-in is reportedly scheduled to invite director Bong Joon-ho of the film 'Parasite' to the Blue House on the 20th for a meeting.

According to the Blue House on the 13th, President Moon plans to hold a luncheon meeting with Director Bong to congratulate and encourage him on the recent success of 'Parasite,' which won four awards including Best Picture at the 92nd Academy Awards. The Blue House is currently coordinating the detailed schedule with Director Bong's side.

Right after the news of the Academy Awards win was announced on the 10th, President Moon sent a congratulatory message saying, "I am proud of Director Bong, the actors, and the staff," and added, "I am already curious about the 'next plan' of Director Bong, the actors, and the staff."
