It is argued that the suspicion of sexual violence should be evaluated as important in Kim’s life as for his contribution to the film industry.

Dalsey Parquet, who is well known as an English subtitle translator for the movie’Parasite’, posted on his social media (SNS) on the 12th, “After the TV program dealing with allegations of sexual violence of director Kim Ki-duk was aired in 2018, I taught the film of director Kim Ki-duk in class. I stopped doing it,” he wrote. “If someone uses such terrible violence in their lives, it is wrong to honor him.”

– “I don’t care whether he is a genius or not,” Pakett added. “I don’t even think he’s a genius.”

Pierce Conland, the husband of film critic and director Lee Kyung-mi of’Miss Hong Dang-mu’, also posted on his SNS, “When the news of director Ki-deok Kim’s sudden death was delivered, he withstood the urge to gossip about his death.” “The terrible act he did on the set I was very sad to see the mourning for him pouring out (especially in the Western world) without mentioning him.”

Conran pointed out, “We must never forget his contributions to the film industry, but we must not forget the victims of’monstery sexual violence’.”

Even in the domestic film industry, there is no official memorial service or condolence reaction at the group level.

Director Kim Ki-deok, who debuted in 1996 with the movie’Crocodile’, was invited to the world’s three major film festivals, and is also the only Korean director to receive all the main prizes at this festival. In 2012, he won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival for the movie’Pieta’.

However, it was known that he died of complications of Corona 19 in Latvia on the 11th, after stopping domestic activities and continuing overseas activities after being designated as a sexual violence perpetrator through the’Me too’ movement in 2018.
