The candidates are all worthy actors: Park Yoo-chun from "Sea Fog", Yeo Jin-goo from "Hwayi : A Monster Boy", Im Si-wan from "The Attorney", Choi Jin-hyuk from "The Divine Move" and Ahn Jae-hong from "The King of Jokgu".

Park Yoo-chun is a very likely candidate as he's already set to take home the 34th Yeongpyeong Awards Rookie Actor trophy. Yeo Jin-goo proved his talents by winning the Cheongryong Film Award last year for "Hwayi : A Monster Boy". Im Si-wan impressed the nation with his performance in "The Attorney", which is on most candidate lists at the Daejong Film Festival this year.

Ahn Jae-hong caused an upturn in independent films and Choi Jin-hyuk also proved he could change into a bad guy.

Meanwhile, "The Attorney" has been nominated for 11 categories, "The Admiral: Roaring Currents" for 9, "A Hard Day" and "The Pirates" for 7, "Kundo" for 6 and "Sea Fog" for 5 different categories.
