Bong Joon-ho Demands Investigation into Death of 'Parasite' Actor
"Parasite" director Bong Joon-ho and other South Korean artists are calling for a thorough investigation into the death of actor Lee Sun-kyun, who was found dead in his car in what is widely seen as a suicide following a police investigation into his alleged drug use. They question the police's handling of the investigation and media's sensationalized coverage of Lee's private life, urging officials to protect human rights in criminal investigations. South Korea has strict anti-drug laws and a high suicide rate, with a history of celebrity suicides linked to online abuse and cyberbullying.
