Actor Yoo Ah-in is back in the awards spotlight with a Best Actor nomination at the upcoming 23rd Directors Cut Awards.
🎬 A Prestigious Award, Chosen by Directors
The Directors Cut Awards, hosted by the Directors Guild of Korea (DGK), announced nominees for its 23rd edition. Yoo Ah-in earned a nod for his performance in The Match (승부), where he portrayed the legendary Go player Lee Chang-ho.
The award ceremony is unique — winners are chosen exclusively by directors. Eligible works include films and series released between January 1, 2023, and March 31, 2025.
🆚 Fierce Competition
Yoo Ah-in is up against a stellar lineup:
Lee Byung-hun (The Match)
Robert Pattinson (Mickey 17)
Yoon Joo-sang (The Seagull on the Morning Sea)
Choi Min-sik (Exhuma)
🎠Powerhouse Performances in Focus
In The Match, Yoo Ah-in immersed himself in the complex role of Lee Chang-ho, squaring off against Lee Byung-hun's portrayal of Go master Cho Hun-hyun. The film was praised for its intense psychological battles and nuanced acting.
This marks Yoo Ah-in's return to the awards circuit following his legal troubles last year. Though sentenced to one year in prison for drug-related charges, he received a suspended sentence in February and was released.
🎥 Other Major Nominees
Best Actress: Kim Go-eun (Love in the Big City, Exhuma), Kim Jae-hwa (To Her), Shin Hye-sun (She Died), Yang Hee-kyung (The Seagull on the Morning Sea)
Best Director: Bong Joon-ho (Mickey 17), Kim Hyung-joo (The Match), Jang Jae-hyun (Exhuma), Huh Jin-ho (A Normal Family) and more
