Golden Globes 2026: No Other Choice Director Park Chang-Wook Celebrates Nomination With 'KPop Demon Hunters Ramen'

No

Other Choice has found a place in the Golden Globes 2026 nominations. The Korean hit starring Lee Gyung-Hun and Son Yeh-Jin has received a nod for best motion picture musical or comedy and best motion picture in a non-English language. Infact, when its director Park Chan-Wook was asked about his reaction to the big nominations, he brought another Globes nominee and smash hit this year, KPop Demon Hunters in reference.

No Other Choice makes its way into Golden Globes

No Other Choice has now become the first Korean film to be nominated in the main best picture category at the Golden Globes. Park's previous work Minari, and the Academy Award-winning Parasite could not get through as they weren't in the English language. But since Golden Globes changed its qualifying rules, No Other Choice had a chance.

Park Chan-Wook lauds KPop Demon Hunters

Lauding how KPop Demon Hunters has broken the clutter, by projecting audience changing preferences and appreciation, Park told Variety, "One of the great joys of this awards campaign has been [running] into [KPop Demon Hunters director] Maggie Kang. I didn’t know her in the past, but having run into her so many times, we’ve become best friends at this point, so I want to congratulate her and her team on the nominations.""KPop Demon Hunters was actually the first movie that I watched in my redesigned screening room at my house, with an improved sound system and the image system. And it was definitely worth it, because during the climax of the film, where the three members come together on stage, I cried so much. Such emotion is a very much a universal thing for anyone to be able to empathize with. I think this is a film that really, truly utilized the power and the potential that animation as a medium has."ALSO READ: Golden Globes 2026: One Battle After Another, Marty Supreme, KPop Demon Hunters, Adolescence Nominated, See FULL List

Celebrating with ramen

Holding up a ramen container with the fictional girl group Huntr/x on the label, Park shared he celebrated his own movie's nomination with this. "I had drinks with my wife last night, so I’ll get over my hangover, Korean style, with my KPop Demon Hunters ramen," he said.
