With actor Park Ji-hoon nominated in both the Director's Cut film and series categories, attention is focused on whether he will be able to secure two trophies. Director Jang Hang-jun will face off against Director Park Chan-wook for the Director's Cut director award.

The 24th Director's Cut Awards will be held on the 19th. The 'Director's Cut Awards' began in 1998 with the first ceremony hosted by the 'Young Film Directors Meeting Director's Cut' and has evolved by continuing the tradition of holding the ceremony in a casual and cheerful manner under the DGK since 2017. The series category was added in 2022.

The award categories are divided into creator categories such as Director Award, Screenplay Award, New Director Award, and Vision Award (Independent Film Award), and actor/actress categories including Male/Female Actor Award and New Male/Female Actor Award. The Actor/Actress Award focuses solely on the performance itself, regardless of leading or supporting roles, while the New Actor/Actress Award highlights new faces of actors that have not been seen before.
