The Halekulani Golden Orchid for Best Narrative Feature was awarded to director Shim Sung-bo for his the film, HAEMOO.
“Haemoo is a powerhouse debut from director Shim Sung-bo, who shows enormous potential for raising even further the profile of Asian and Pacific Rim cinema on the world stage. This is a visually arresting, riveting and compelling film, which displays both technical excellence, and a strong emotional core. The film simultaneously addresses universal questions of human nature and morality, and more specific issues, such as corruption, economic inequality and immigration.” said jurors. “With its strong commercial appeal, Haemoo is in the position to raise consciousness about human trafficking, its causes and terrible consequences.”
HAEMOO is also South Korea’s official entry for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar®.

Allaying initial concerns, a number of idol group members have successfully transformed themselves into actors on the silver screen or on TV programs.
Reports have it that critics and viewers, who once worried about their career change, are highly praising their acting skills.
As they have found success as actors, the pop idols are expected to win awards in upcoming drama and film festivals, show biz watchers said.
JYJ member and actor Yoochun has already been chosen as Best New Male Actor by The Korean Film Critics Association in recognition of his acting in the film “Sea Fog.”
Despite the film being his big screen debut, Yoochun was able to blend in with senior actors by naturally portraying his character. Prior to his movie debut, he had acted well in various TV dramas including “Sungkyunkwan Scandal,” “Miss Ripley” and “Missing You.”

“Having idol group members participate in the screen industry should no longer be a controversy. Rather, they prove their sincerity as actors and counterbalance the grave atmosphere in several films,” a spokesperson of the film industry was quoted as saying.
“D.O. in ‘Cart’ and Yoochun in ‘Sea Fog’ are the representative examples,” he added.
“They are also natural in front of the camera and their acting skills are no longer something to be skeptical about. They also lead the success of the films,” he said.
With more skilled idol-actors on the way, viewers and film experts are looking forward to the development and success of the TV and movie industry.
