The logistics side of the organization proved problematic after the committee flip-flopped on its decision to create a new awards category. The paid nature of the online voting system also raised concerns that the committee was exploiting movie fans for profit. Last month, the awards committee announced it would rescind the honors if the winners were absent at the ceremony, causing backlash from the acting community. Most cited scheduling conflicts and overseas business trips as the reason, but the Daejong Film Awards has recently suffered a blow to its image as the most prestigious movie honors in South Korea. The same goes for Kim Soo-hyun and Gong Hyo-jin who have been chosen as best actor and actress by an online vote. The five best actress nominees - Kim Yun-jin of "Ode to My Father," Jun Ji-hyun of "Assassination," Kim Hye-soo of "Coin Locker Girl," Uhm Jung-hwa of "Wonderful Nightmare," and Han Hyo-joo of "Beauty Inside" - will also miss the event. This year's best actor nominees for the Daejong Film Awards are Hwang Jung-min of "Ode to My Father," Son Hyun-joo of "Chronicles of Evil," Yoo Ah-in of "The Throne," and Ha Jung-woo of "Assassination," all of whom will be absent, the organizers said. 20 ( Yonhap) - All best actor nominees for South Korea's oldest film awardshow this year will not be attending the event on Friday, as the institution remains mired in controversy.
