Director Park Chan-wook of the film "Nothing Can Be Done" won the Best Picture trophy at the 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards.

The 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards were held on the afternoon of the 8th at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The hosts were broadcaster Shin Dong-yup, actor Park Bo-gum, and singer and actress Suzy.

On this day, the film "Nothing Can Be Done" took home the Best Picture trophy in the film category.

Upon taking the stage, Director Park Chan-wook shared his thoughts, saying, "Seeing the results, I am convinced that a fair judging process took place. This film is full of jokes. I believe it is necessary to constantly attempt jokes even when sad, to try to make those around us laugh, and to keep making jokes that belittle oneself."

He continued, "That is how I think we can let off steam from anger and find an outlet," and added with a joke, "Even though I am a director who did not win an award at the Venice Film Festival and was not even nominated for the Academy Awards, please believe me, as I am the director who received this glorious award at the Baeksang Arts Awards."
