Rapper Swings (Moon Ji-hoon) has earned a nomination for Best New Actor at the Blue Dragon Film Awards with his screen debut.

On the 28th, the organizers of the 47th Blue Dragon Film Awards announced the final candidate films and nominees for this year. Among them, Swings drew attention by being nominated for Best New Actor for his role in "Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub."

Swings was nominated for Best New Actor under his real name, Moon Ji-hoon. He will compete for the trophy with Moon Sang-min ("Pavane"), Park Ji-hoon ("The King's Warden"), Lee Jong-won ("Sal Mok Ji"), and Joo Min-hyung ("Chung Chung Chung").

In particular, Swings, a rapper who has been active in the hip-hop scene for about 20 years, demonstrated new possibilities as an actor by earning a Best New Actor nomination with his first screen debut.

"Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub" is Swings' screen debut. In the film, he plays Abraham, a contract killer who only carries out orders, showcasing a side different from his previous image.

Previously, Swings shared his feelings about debuting as an actor at the film's press conference. At the time, he said, "I have been making music for 20 years and have always loved movies. I was cast just six months after starting to act." He added, "The opportunity came so quickly that I was grateful, and I know how blessed I am. Because of that weight, I thought I needed to be even more humble."

He continued, "It seems like people become more humble as they reach this point. I know that the blessings I have received are greater than what I have done, so I am simply grateful," revealing his overflowing emotions about his first film appearance.

Meanwhile, the 47th Blue Dragon Film Awards will be held on November 25 at the Seoul Yeouido KBS Hall and is scheduled to be broadcast live on KBS 2TV.
