Actress Moon Geun-young won the Best New Actress award at the 23rd Director’s Cut Awards.

Moon Geun-young won the Best New Actress Award in the Series category for her role in the Netflix series ‘Hellbound Season 2’ at the ‘23rd Director’s Cut Awards ‘held on the 20th.

The’ Director’s Cut Awards ‘, now in its 23rd year, are film awards hosted by DGK(Directors Guild of Korea).Unlike existing film awards, they are an award ceremony with added meaning as the winners are selected and awarded directly by Korean film directors.

The new Best Actor category, where Moon Geun-young was honored with an award, is given to an actor who shows a face that has never been seen before.Last year, Moon Geun-young played the role of Teacher Haetsalban(Oh Ji-won), a key figure in the fanatic group Arrowhead, in’ Hell 2 ‘, and succeeded in a perfect acting transformation by delicately portraying the character’s transformation into a fanatic with her groundbreaking visuals.

Moon Geun-young said through her agency, “Thank you so much for giving me such a meaningful award,” and added, “I would like to thank Director Yeon Sang-ho and all the actors and staff who worked with me on ‘Hellbound 2.’ I always wanted to play new characters, and I was excited and had fun acting in my new role as the Sunshine Class teacher.I will continue to work hard to become an actress who shows new sides of me in the future.”

He continued, “I will wait with an open mind for the directors’ bold choices,” and expressed his bold aspirations by saying, “I will work harder to become an actor who can act in a way that does not betray those choices.”

In this way, Moon Geun-young, who showed a different side of herself than in her previous work and boasted a wider acting spectrum, is raising expectations about what kind of actions she will continue to take.
