Abstract
In his films, Bong Joon-ho uses or subverts western genre conventions in order to package and tell specific Korean stories. Looking at Memories of Murder, (2003) The Host (2006), and Parasite (2019), this thesis examines what genre Bong is exploring, what he is conveying, and what kind of impact these films have on the international cinematic stage.
