In the sea of streamers that are constantly upgrading and adding more to their slate, Netflix has persevered on the top, with its knack for picking out the best of the best in cinema. Despite the choices that have been multiplying and diversifying, Netflix has ensured that it maintains its numbers while adding quality content. 

Having already cherry-picked from the A24 catalog, the streamer is now running his hands over the Academy award-winning list, landing on Bong Joon Ho's 2019 hit.

With an array of reality shows that more often than not become the rearing ground for the next big meme, there is no denying that Netflix has a tooth for brain-rot content. However, there is also no denying that Netflix has an affinity for award-winning cinema, which not only aids in the making but also gives them a new home. The latter seems to be the case with Bong Joon Ho's 2019 drama flick Parasite, as it is set to start streaming on Netflix on February 1.

Parasite created history as it became the first Korean movie to win a Best Picture award at the Oscars, heralding a mass interest in Korean cinema, culture, and music. When Bong Joon Ho's Parasite won the Oscar award, it was up against giants like 1917, Joker, Ford vs Ferrari, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

The addition of Parasite on Netflix could not have come at a better time, with the streamer displaying continued efforts to expand its Korean catalog.

While it may not have aided in the making of Korea's first Best Picture Oscar, Netflix did have a huge hand in getting the country its Emmy awards for Squid Game. Titles like Parasite and Squid Game have become the stepping stones of the jugular grasp that Korea has on the worldwide audience now. And being an original stakeholder in its fame, Netflix does not shy from benefiting from it, as from romance hits like Crash Landing On You t thriller extravaganzas The Glory, the streamer continues to enrich its Korean catalog.

Netflix has over the years expanded its gallery of Korean dramas to great measure, easily becoming the binge babe for Korean drama fans around the world. With Squid Game Season 3 dropping just months after Season 2, it does not look like the streamer has any plans of stopping.
