Best Director Award goes to Lee Joon-ik for 'Jasaneobo'... Best Actor and Actress awarded to Ko Doo-shim and Sol Kyung-gu

The Korean Film Producers Association announced on the 6th that director Ryu Seung-wan's "Mogadishu" has been selected as the winner of the Korean Film Producers Association Award for Best Picture. It was praised for "enhancing the dignity of a true story-based war and human drama through four months of location shooting in Morocco, Africa." The Best Director Award goes to director Lee Joon-ik for "Josanjeobo." The association stated, "Unlike typical period dramas that use historical events as the driving force of the story, the director's intention to show the traces of people who struggled through a lifetime was deeply captured in black-and-white footage."

The Best Actor Award goes to Ko Doo-shim for "Shining Moment" and Sol Kyung-gu for "Josanjeobo." The Best Supporting Actor Award is given to Kim Sun-young for "Three Sisters" and Heo Jun-ho for "Mogadishu." The Best Screenplay Award goes to director Lee Seung-won for "Three Sisters," the Best New Director Award to Hong Ui-jung for "Voice of Silence," and the Best New Actor Award to Lee Yu-mi for "Adults Don't Know" and "Hostage." "Mogadishu" also takes home the Cinematography Award (Choi Young-hwan), Lighting Award (Lee Jae-hyuk), Art Direction Award (Kim Bo-mook), and Technical Award (Special Effects by Lee Hee-kyung). The Editing Award goes to Heo Sun-mi and Jo Han-ul for "Samjin Company English TOEIC Class," the Music Award to Bang Jun-seok for "Josanjeobo," and the Sound Award to Kim Chang-seop for "Seobok." The late Lee Chun-yeon, CEO of Cine2000, was selected as the recipient of the Special Achievement Award.
