Hosted by the Busan Ilbo newspaper, the 31st Buil Film Awards was held in the coastal city of Busan, South Korea on October 6, 2022. The annual film awards happened alongside the highly-acclaimed Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), which made its post-pandemic comeback to the red carpet this month.

As one of the highlights of the ongoing BIFF, Buil Film Awards honors films of high caliber and cinematic achievements in the entertainment arena. For this year’s titleholders, the Korean film Decision To Leave prevailed in five paramount awards including Best Film, Best Actor, and Best Actress. Squid Game actor Lee Jung Jae, on the other hand, is hailed as Best New Director for his directorial debut in the action film Hunt.

At the official opening ceremony and red carpet of the 2022 Buil Film Awards, a bunch of Hallyu’s brightest stars flaunted their stylish ensembles. With MCs Kim Nam Gil and Sooyoung of Girls’ Generation to 2PM’s Taecyeon, Joo Hyun Young, and Yoo Ah In, it was an absolute fashion fest at the Busan-based event.
