Jo Woo-jin of “Kingmaker” won Best Supporting Actor.

Singer-actress IU (Lee Ji-eun) won Best New Actress for “Broker” while Son Seok-koo, star of “My Liberation Notes,” bagged the Best New Actor award for “The Roundup.”

"I thought I would be much less nervous if I knew the news of the award in advance, but I'm very nervous because you revealed it too much earlier,” said IU as she accepted the award.

She added, “It was a great honor to hear the meaning of the Yeongpyeongsang from many seniors and learn about the award, and I am still standing here with a very grateful feeling. Thank you.”

The Korean Association of Film Critics (KAFC) established the Korean Association of Film Critics Awards in 1980.

“Thanks to director Hirokazu Kore-eda, seniors Song Kang-ho, Bae Doona and Gang Dong-won, Joo-young and all the staff and actors, I was able to see and learn up close how many people’s sincerity and hard work go into making a movie,” she added.
