Filmmaker Park Chan-wook has responded to his expulsion from the Writers Guild of America, denying that he violated union rules that forbade writing during the 2023 writers’ strike.
The WGA revealed Friday that Park and Don McKellar had been kicked out for working on “The Sympathizer,” an HBO series based on the 2015 novel by Viet Thanh Nguyen.
Park’s company, Moho Film, issued a statement to Maeil Business Newspaper in South Korea on Tuesday, stating that the scripts for the show had been completed and the show had been shot when the strike began on May 2, 2023.
