Inclusion of Alfred Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese in the list comes as no surprise. Both the directors are greats in their own rights. Yuna Kim is a former figure skater and is considered to be an icon in South Korea. Meanwhile, Jimmy Page (the founder of English rock band Led Zepplin) is a master songwriter and musician. De Bruyne is one of the best when it comes to football at the moment. The midfielder has notched 18 assists and seven goals in 31 appearances this season, impressing fans with his exceptional vision and passing abilities. 

While Bong Joon-Ho's entire list includes greats in the creative field, the inclusion of Kevin De Bruyne has surprised his fans. The Oscar-winning director also failed to provide an explanation for his inclusion, leaving fans to wonder if the South Korean is also an ardent follower of football.
