A special showing of director Bong Jun-hos works has been held in three US cities of New York, Chicago and San Francisco.
The Korean Film Council said Monday that it has organized the event to mark the release of Bongs recent film The Host there on Friday.
Two of Bongs previous films were shown in New York on Feb. 25, in Chicago on Saturday and in San Francisco on Monday. Barking Dogs Never Bite was his debut commercial film and Memories of Murder became a hit by drawing 5 million viewers when it was released in Korea. The director himself attended a meeting with the audience in San Francisco.

Seven of his works will be shown, including The Day a Pig Fell into a Well, The Power of Gangwon Province, Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Turning Gate, Woman is the Future of Man, Tale of Cinema, and Woman on the Beach.
