According to the Blue Dragon Film Awards Secretariat on the 24th, Han Ji-min and Lee Je-hoon were confirmed as MCs for the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards, which will be held at KBS Hall in Yeouido, Seoul, on November 29.
Who will be the face of the new Blue Dragon this year after Kim Hye-soo chose to `Beautiful Breakup' at last year's awards ceremony was the focus of the entire film industry. The secretariat said "It is an honor to be with Han Ji-min and Lee Je-hoon, who opened a new history of the Blue Dragon Film Awards. The Blue Dragon Film Awards will also do its best for the development of Korean films with Han Ji-min and Lee Je-hoon."
Han Ji-min, who started acting as a child of Min Soo-yeon (Song Hye-kyo) in the 2003 SBS drama `All In,' made her screen debut in the 2005 film `Cheongyeon. Afterwards, he met his life work 'Mitsubaek' through the films 'Anatomy Class'Detective: Secrets of Gaksitugu Flowers'Yeokrin'Longevity Chamber'Secret Agent'. In 'Miss Baek', Han Ji-min played a female Baek Sang-ah character who was traumatized by sexual assault. It was not an easy challenge for an actress, such as smoking and swearing, and Han Ji-min courageously chose works that many actors avoided, and the result was correct. After winning the 39th Blue Dragon Film Award for Best Actress in 2018 through 'Miss Baek', he will now succeed Kim Hye-soo as the MC of the Blue Dragon Film Awards and continue his activities as a new 'Blue Dragon Goddess'.
Han Ji-min "Considering Kim Hye-soo's status and footsteps, I thought it would be unimaginable to dare to succeed him as an MC. I felt the presence of Kim Hye-soo, who represented the Blue Dragon Film Awards, and once again, I deeply respect Kim Hye-soo, and I will try not to be lacking by inheriting the tradition and dignity he has made."
He then decided to be the MC of the Blue Dragon Film Awards under pressure because he wanted to contribute even a little to the Korean film industry, which is going through a difficult time. With the hope that the Blue Dragon Film Awards will once again be a place to convey a message of hope and support to filmmakers and audiences, we will do our best to continue tradition and values."
Actor Lee Je-hoon also leads the Blue Dragon anew with Han Ji-min. Lee Je-hoon, who debuted through the 2006 short film Truth, Litmus, announced the birth of a monster rookie in Chungmuro by winning the New Actor Award at the 32nd Blue Dragon Film Awards for his 2011 film `Watchmen', which made a new history in the Korean independent film industry. The story of the boy's father (Cho Seong-ha), who was usually indifferent to his son, chasing his son's death due to his belated guilt due to the death of his son Ki-tae (Lee Je-hoon), was the first independent film to hit 20,000 viewers, making it a sensation in the independent art film world. Since then, it has been praised for playing a major role in leading the audience's interest and favorability in diversity films. In this work, Lee Je-hoon played the role of Gi-tae, who suffered a mysterious death, and was literally criticized for appearing like Hye-sung.
Since then, he has continued his acting transformation regardless of genre and character, including movies 'Go Ji-jeon'An Introduction to Architecture'Park Yeol'I Can Speak''Escape' and has once again solidified his reputation as a representative actor in Chungmuro by serving as an MC for this year's Blue Dragon Film Awards.
Lee Je-hoon "When you suggested me as the host of the Blue Dragon Film Awards, which has been loved by many people for a long time, I was worried, but I felt the most overwhelming feeling. As an actor and a true lover of movies, I thought it would be a perfect honor to be the host of the Blue Dragon Film Awards, which I had longed for since childhood"As it is a venue for many filmmakers and audiences, I will make sincere arrangements to visit them so as not to be a nuisance to them. I will do my best to continue the status and dignity of the Blue Dragon Film Awards, which many senior actors, including Kim Hye-soo, have established"Thank you very much."
At the same time, this year's award ceremony will raise the festive atmosphere to the fullest with a grand feast of 10 million masterpieces for the first time in a long time. Three films have already reached the 10 million mark, including 「Department」 (1,1913,725 people, hereinafter referred to as the Korea Film Council's integrated computer network for admission tickets),"Crime City 4" (11.5 million,1621 people),'Seoul Spring" (11,854,779 people), and"Veteran 2" released on the 13th is also gradually attracting audiences to 10 million viewers.
