Lee Sun Kyun, So Unreal for 'Parasite's Popularity

South Korean actor Lee Sun-kyun (44) said he was overwhelmed by the parasite.

During an interview with Starnews on the afternoon of June 3, he talked about his thought on the movie 'Parasite' (directed by Bong Joon-ho). 

'Parasite' is a story of two families meeting that started when Ki-taek(played by Song Kang-ho)'s oldest son, Ki-woo (played by Choi Woo-sik) becomes a tutor of Mr. Park (played by Lee Sun-kyun). 

After winning the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival as the first Korean film to receive the award, it has accumulated 3.66 million viewers since its release 4 days ago.

Lee Sun-kyun said, "The number 3.36 million viewers doesn't feel like my work. It is the new experience for me. It's good. I really appreciate it."
