Quote :

"The film was in part inspired by an incident in 2000 in which a mortician working for the U.S. military in Seoul dumped a large amount of formaldehyde down the drain. In addition to its environmental impact, this has added some antagonism against the United States.[6] The American military situated in South Korea is portrayed as uncaring about the effects their activities have on the locals. The chemical agent used by the American military to combat the monster in the end, named "Agent Yellow" in a thinly veiled reference to Agent Orange was also used to satirical effect.[3] The director Bong Joon-ho himself commented on the issue: "It's a stretch to simplify The Host as an anti-American film, but there is certainly a metaphor and political commentary about the U.S."[7] Because of its themes that can be seen as critical towards the United States, the film was actually lauded by North Korean authorities,[8] a rarity for a South Korean blockbuster film. The film also features a satiric portrayal of the South Korean government, as well the theme of corporations gaining power within Korean society at the expense of ordinary people."
