“Parasite” executive producer Miky Lee was celebrated at a starry dinner in Beverly Hills, Calif., hosted by philanthropist Wendy Goldberg.
Samsung heiress turned media mogul Lee — the vice-chair of CJ group — is the most powerful force in Korean cinema and entertainment, and has been behind a wave of successful movies, TV dramas and K-pop concerts, as well as being a founding investor in DreamWorks.
Those celebrating Lee at the dinner thrown by Goldberg — the wife of the late legendary movie and TV producer Leonard Goldberg — at Mr. Chow’s Thursday included Robert Downey Jr., Michael Keaton, Oscar-nominated director David O. Russell, Candice Bergen, South Korean singer-songwriter Rain, music mogul Irving Azoff and Netflix boss Ted Sarandos. We’re told even Mr. Chow himself joined the seated guests to toast Lee.
Director Bong Joon Ho’s movie was the big winner at this month’s Academy Awards, where it took home the Best Picture and Best Director statues among its four victories.
