The Academy Awards, in partnership with Korean studio CJ ENM, is set to unveil a remarkable exhibition dedicated to the career of acclaimed filmmaker Bong Joon Ho.

This three-year collaboration aims not only to celebrate Korean cinema but also highlight outstanding Asian films in the Hollywood mainstream. Alongside the exhibition, visitors will find a creative workspace that showcases objects that have inspired Bong's films and a retrospective series of his cinematic works. Bong Joon Ho's latest project, 'Mickey 17,' starring Robert Pattinson, adds to the anticipation surrounding this event.
