2024 Blue Dragon Film Awards: Where to watch, nominees and more info | Web Series

K-drama actors Han Ji Min and Lee Je Hoon will usher in a new era as new MCS, taking over the responsibility previously honed by veteran K-star Kim Hye Soo. The Juvenile Justice actress helmed the iconic role as the Blue Dragon Film Awards MC for the past 30 years. Her yearslong contributions to the prestigious award series were honoured last year as she took the stage as the show’s main host for the final time. Han Ji Min will grace the ceremony as Kim’s successor by bearing the badge of the new “Blue Dragon Goddess.”
