Not a parasite! Song Kanghao's new crime thriller "Parasite" releases trailer

Director Bong Joon-ho and Song Kang-ho once again collaborated on a new film, "Parasite", which released its first trailer and poster. The poster exudes a strong sense of suspense and crime, while the infectious voiceover and soundtrack in the trailer complement Director Bong Joon-ho's iconic images with a sense of black humor.

Trailer for Song Kanghao's new crime thriller "Parasite":

Although the title of "Parasite" reminds people of disasters and monsters, in fact, there are no "parasites" in the film, nor is it a disaster or monster movie, but a drama about a family story. However, it is not difficult to see from the first trailer that it is not just a family film, but still has Bong Joon-ho's iconic black texture, and is not lacking in crime and suspense elements.

In this story, Song Kanghao plays the role of a homeless father again after "The Host", and the whole family, including the eldest son Ki-woo (played by Choi Woo-sik), has become homeless. The film tells the various unexpected events that happened when the eldest son, who is the breadwinner of the family, went to the home of President Park (played by Lee Sun-kyun) to apply for an after-school teacher. In fact, from a certain perspective, the so-called "parasite" human can also be regarded as an alternative "monster".

This film is the first time that director Bong Joon-ho has returned to South Korea to create a film after a lapse of ten years since "Mother" in 2009. It is also his seventh feature film and the fourth collaboration between him and Song Kang-ho after "Memories of Murder", "The Host" and "Snowpiercer". The film is scheduled to be released in South Korea in May and is rated "for viewers aged 15 and above".
