‘Beef’ Creator Lee Sung Jin Thanks Road Rage Driver Who Inspired Netflix Series In Golden Globes Acceptance Speech

Creator Lee Sung Jin thanked the typical cast, crew, executives, and more that helped make the title a reality, but he also extended a special shoutout to the person who inspired the series.

Wong and Yeun play two strangers whose lives collide in a strange way after they’re involved in a road rage incident. The story is based off Lee’s personal experience with a road rage incident.

“I’d be remiss not to think that driver,” he said. “Sir, I hope you honk and yell and inspire others for years to come.”

The Golden Globes were held at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday, with Jo Koy is hosting the ceremony. This year’s event includes two new categories — Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Stand-Up Comedian on Television — but the annual honorary Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett career awards are taking 2024 off.

Shocking animal protest of 'dog roast' stuns Henley Royal Regatta attendees
A shocking animal protest displaying a 'dead dog being roasted on a stick has left Henley Royal Regatta attendees 'stunned'. The daring stunt, which revealed a lurcher dog 'being cooked' under a banner that read 'The Great Dog Roast', occurred at the Henley Royal Regatta at Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, yesterday (3 July). The prestigious rowing event, attended by celebrities and royalty alike, attracted crowds of 300,000 spectators - and many were left 'horrified' to see the unusual delicacy: a dog roast. The stunt, in which a silicone model of a dog was used, was organised by the UK’s leading vegan campaigning charity, Viva! in a bid to 'challenge the perception that it’s socially acceptable to eat some animals but not others'. Viva!’s founder & director, Juliet Gellatley, said: “This Viva! stunt pushed boundaries and had the desired effect of shocking thousands of people into facing the reality that eating pigs, cows and other animals isn’t so different to eating dogs.
