Actor Zo In-sung has been nominated for both Lead and Supporting Actor at the 47th Blue Dragon Film Awards following his performances in three films released in 2026.
Actor Zo In-sung has been nominated for both Best Actor for HOPE and Best Supporting Actor for Possible Love at the 47th Blue Dragon Film Awards, following his recent Best Actor win at the 46th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards on the 4th.
Following a year filled with three film releases in 2026, actor Zo In-sung has won the Best Actor award at the Korean Association of Film Critics Awards and has been simultaneously nominated for both Lead and Supporting Actor at the Blue Dragon Film Awards.
According to media reports, Zo In-sung has showcased diverse facets of his acting through three consecutive works this year: HUMINT directed by Ryoo Seung-wan, HOPE directed by Na Hong-jin, and Possible Love directed by Lee Chang-dong.
In his first work of the year, the spy action film HUMINT directed by Ryoo Seung-wan, he played Manager Jo, a central figure in an intelligence war surrounding North and South Korea, delivering intense action and meticulous psychological warfare. This marks his third collaboration with director Ryoo Seung-wan following Escape from Mogadishu and Smugglers.
In the subsequent film HOPE directed by Na Hong-jin, he portrayed Seong-gi, who faces strange occurrences in an isolated village, expressing fear of an unknown entity and a desperate struggle for survival. For this performance, Zo In-sung received the Best Actor award at the 46th Korean Association of Film Critics Awards held on the 4th.
His acting transformation continued in Possible Love directed by Lee Chang-dong. In this film, which was released through Netflix on the 6th, Zo In-sung played Sang-woo, the husband of documentary director Ye-ji. He delivered a restrained performance as a member of the economic privileged class, contrasting with the laid-off worker Ho-seok.
The different performances shown across these three works have led to award recognition, with Zo In-sung being named a nominee for Best Actor for HOPE and Best Supporting Actor for Possible Love at the 47th Blue Dragon Film Awards to be held on the 25th.
