Ki-taek raises his can for a toast he can't quite land — the family's modest celebration before anything goes right or wrong
In the movie
Theatrical
- ~00:05:54 Ki-taek raises a toast in the semi-basement — 'So we're all gathered here today, to celebrate... this bounteous Wi-Fi!' — the family's cheap, sincere celebration before any of the schemes begin
This early toast is the film's baseline for the Kim family before any of the schemes begin: a cheap malt beverage, a shared bag of chips, and a father trying to deliver a speech with more sincerity than the moment can carry. It's a small, honest scene of a family celebrating what little good news they get, before the rest of the film complicates what "good news" even means for them.
Ingredients
Method
- Chill the beer. There's no recipe here beyond opening the cans.
- Pour into whatever's on the table — this is a household making do, not a bar.
- Set out a shared bag of chips as anju (Korean drinking snacks) and pass it around.
