Why did I think the Director of Parasite had died in the last couple yea

I just learned that Bong Joon-ho has a new movie "Mickey 17" coming out. I would have sworn on my mother's grave that he had died in the last few years. Does anyone have an explanation for this delusion?

Maybe you misremembered the news of Kim Ki-duk’s death in 2020?

Perhaps you were thinking of the death of PARASITE principal actor Lee Sun-kyun, who died in late 2023, which director Bong Joon-ho demanded an inquiry into?
