The Blue House said on the 23rd that “Chung Eun-kyung is the only Korean chief of disease control among the 100 most influential people in the world this year selected by Time magazine, the American current affairs magazine.” However, on this day, in addition to Chief Chung, Director Bong Joon-ho was also selected as the 100th most influential at the same time.
Time announced to the Blue House that it would include Chief Chung in the ‘100 influencers’ in July. It is said that the reason for the selection was the response to the crisis of the crown. Time’s 100-person list has been published every year since 2004, and this year it has reached its 17th year.
A Blue House official met with reporters that day and said, “Chief Chung was the only Korean who was selected as the only Korean in Time magazine this year. It is significant because it gives. “Furthermore, he said,” I hope that Commissioner Chung’s selection of 100 members and the efforts and achievements of Korea’s quarantine will spread throughout the United States. “
However, on that day, Time magazine is known to have selected director Bong Joon-ho as a film parasite in Influential 100, as well as director Bong Joon-ho, who won four categories, including the Golden Palm Award from the Film Festival. from Cannes, the Academy Award, the Director Award, the Screenplay Award and the International Feature Film Award. In the end, the Blue House announcement that Chung is “the only Korean” is wrong.
In this regard, the Blue House official said: “Two days ago, as a result of the confirmation with Time magazine, I finally replied that the head of the headquarters was the only Korean,” he said: “Since Time magazine does not disclose the list of 100 members in advance,) There is no way to confirm. ” Time magazine had no choice but to make an incorrect ad because it did not report Bong’s selection.
“Of the 100 influencers of Time magazine, in the leaders section, Chung is the only Korean person,” he said. “I learned from the Blue House article that Bong was listed in the artists section.” A Blue House official said, “The selection of director Bong Joon-ho in Time magazine is very good news and congratulations.”
However, it is noted in the policy that “The Blue House hastily launched ‘Jung Eun-kyung’ to promote K-Defense and induces embarrassment.” President Moon Jae-in invited Director Bong and the cast of the film ‘Parasite’ to the Blue House in February when the death of the crown occurred and held a ‘Chapaguri Party’.
