Director Bong Joon-ho's new movie "Parasite" will be released May 30, after premiering at the Cannes Film Festival mid-May.

"Parasite" is Bong's first film in two years after the big-budget Netflix film "Okja." This tragicomedy revolves around two families from different environments. A brief preview was revealed April 7, but the detailed plot has not been released.

Song Kang-ho, Lee Sun-kyun and Cho Yeo-jeong star in the movie.

Bong plans to attend the red carpet event at Cannes and will hold a news conference after the film's screening.

The film is Bong's fifth to be invited to compete at this international festival.

Bong debuted in 1994 with the independent film "Incoherence." He directed several award-winning movies including "Snowpiercer" and "The Host," both action and sci-fi films that became globally recognized.
