Bong recently revealed that he’spreparing two projectsat the moment.
One is a Korean-language one, and the other one is an English-language one,“explained the filmmaker.
“Both projects are not big films.
Theyre the size ofParasiteorMother.

The English project is a drama film based on a true event that happened in 2016.”

But even then, he’d be working within strict confines.
Something tells me he’d be the right fit for that project.
Justice League Dark
Here’s one I’ll bet you forgot about, because I sure did!
