But it was 2006's The Host that proved to be a huge breakout moment both for Bong and the Korean film industry. The monster movie, set in Seoul, premiered at Cannes and became an instant hitSouth Korea's widest release ever, setting new box office records and selling remake rights in the US to Universal.
