The movie 'HOPE' was selected as a nominee in 10 categories in total, including Best Film, Best Director, along with Zo In-sung for Best Actor and Jung Hoyeon for Best New Actress, as well as awards for art direction and technical achievements.

In particular, Zo In-sung was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for 'Possible Love'.

Koo Kyo-hwan was also nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor for 'What If We' and 'COLONY', respectively.

Also drawing attention, PARK JIHOON, who left a deep impression playing King Danjong in 'The King's Warden', and Swings (Moon Ji-hoon), who debuted on the big screen with 'Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub', were nominated for Best New Actor.

The film 'Possible Love' was omitted from the Best Film and Best Director categories.

Director Lee Chang-dong and the production company expressed their intent to decline consideration for the Blue Dragon Awards, and the film festival organizers respected that wish and excluded it from the judging process.
