The South Korean film from director Bong Joon Ho has smashed box office records and won awards internationally. The movie also won Oscars for best director, best screenplay and best international feature. Wonsuk Chin, a South Korean film director and friend of Bong's, said the win felt "surreal." It's not just movies -- South Korean music, makeup, and fashion have been making their presence known abroad over the past decade. Former South Korean prime minister Lee Nak-yeon tweeted that the film and its Oscar had "changed the world and Korean film history."
