South Korean movie Parasite made history as the first ever non-English film to win Best Picture at the Oscars. In the wake of that victory, we speak to Kyung Hyun Kim, Professor of East Asia Studies at the University of California Irvine, about the rise of the Korean film industry, and how much it has contributed to the spread of Korean soft power across the world.
