Director Bong Joon-ho, who won the Grand Prize in the film category of the Baekseo Arts Awards last year, will appear for the first time in a long time as this year’s Grand Prize winner in the film category. It will be interesting to see what he has to say to the filmmakers who have been enduring a difficult time without the opportunity to meet with the audience due to the spread of the new Corona virus infection. We are especially glad to see his appearance since he has been hard to see in Korea.
