Parasite director Bong Joon-ho has been accompanied by an translator each time he hit the stage this awards season and she’s an aspiring director named Sharon Choi!

The 25-year-old translator and future director has helped relay all of Bong‘s speeches as he accepts awards at various ceremonies and even accompanied him to television shows.

Sharon says it has all been a great experience but no matter how many awards Parasite wins, she’s always “super anxious!”

“She’s also a great filmmaker!” Bong told THR.

We hope that one day we get to see a film directed by Sharon as well!
