In Parasite, the Kim family, who live in poverty, secretly infiltrates the wealthy Park family’s home, taking over jobs and causing chaos. But what if the Kims had never crossed paths with the Parks? Fans often wonder how different the story would have been if their lives hadn’t become so intertwined. Some fan theories suggest that the Kims’ actions were driven by desperation, but they were also influenced by the deep class divides they faced.
One key moment is when the hidden basement is discovered, revealing the dark secrets of the Park family’s home. This moment changes everything for the Kims. What if they had never found the man living in the basement? Could they have remained in their roles without the tragedy that followed?
Imagine an alternate ending where the Kims decide not to take advantage of the Park family, leading to a more peaceful, though still uncertain, future. Or perhaps a prequel showing how the basement was first built, and how the Park family’s wealth was truly built on hidden truths.
Parasite is a reminder of how power and class can shape lives, and that sometimes, the simplest actions can have unexpected and irreversible consequences.
