proper noun

    A surname from Korean. Alternative form of Bak.

    Centring on the tension between the Kims, a basement-dwelling family of “dirt spoons” in Seoul, and the Parks, a family at the opposite end of the social spectrum, Parasite’s plot is predicated on the widening gap between the haves and the have nots in Asia’s fourth-biggest economy.

    " I can't believe that this is happening in America," Park told NPR in an interview prior to his departure.

Etymology

From Korean 박(朴) (Bak), under influence from Park and originally spelled and read from the perspective of the pronunciation of non-rhotic (e.g. British) English speakers.
