Bong Joon-ho and other South Korean filmmakers are calling for an investigation into Lee Sun-kyun's death
A press conference will be held Friday
“This should never happen again. We will call for investigation officials’ probe to discover the truth, request media outlets to delete articles that do not fit their function as media, as well as urge authorities to revise the law to protect the human rights of artists"
Lee was found dead inside a car from an apparent suicide just days after the third, 19-hour round of police questioning over suspicions of illegal drug use
He had claimed his innocence and had requested a lie detector test
Today I said to my kids: “It’ll never be so hot in a movie theater that you’ll wish you wore shorts. But it might be cold enough you’ll wish you didn’t.” And it’s the most sage advice I’ve ever given.
