Diversity makes this planet an interesting place to live. With Bong Joon Ho's Parasite sweeping the awards, the barriers of language and unfamiliar cultures are now a thing of the past.
After his movie secured 4 Oscars, Bong Joon Ho's name started trending on social media and the first ones to take notice were Bongs.
Now that Bong has won an Oscar, will Calcutta go crazy?

They soon started celebrating the South Korean's feat, as their own, on social media:

Incidentally, Ho is the first 'bong' to win an Oscar after the great Satyajit Ray. 🤪😄 #Bong #ParasiteMovie #BongJoonHo

Even though the whole thing started as a PJ, the ever-so-excited Bongs made the most of their South Korean brother's success.
