Bong Joon-ho became the internet's new hero after his 'Parasite' Oscar wins

Director and screenwriter Bong Joon-ho made history at the 92nd Academy Awards on Sunday, and the love for him and his film Parasite is still going strong Monday morning.

Parasite won four Oscars including Directing, International Feature Film, Writing (Original Screenplay,) and the esteemed Best Picture award. In addition to winning the most awards of the night, Parasite also became the first foreign language film to win an Oscar for Best Picture.

Bong spent his momentous evening gushing over the Parasite cast like a proud dad and making iconic acceptance speeches. People can't seem to get enough of the director's achievements, along with his humble, hilarious, and extremely chill personality.
