South Koreans explode with joy over 'Parasite' Oscar wins
South Koreans reacted with rare collective joy Monday after director Bong Joon Ho and his movie "Parasite" won Oscars for best picture and three other categories, good news that came as their country struggles to cope with a new virus from China and its economic fallout.
The movie's wins made history in both the Hollywood and South Korean film industries. The class satire is the first non-English-language film to win best picture in the 92-year history of the Academy Awards, and is the first South Korean movie to ever win an Oscar.
