The Korean Film Awards was a South Korean film awards ceremony hosted by the broadcasting network Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation, MBC from 2002 to 2010.

History

Originally named the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation, MBC Film Awards, the ceremony was first established in 2002. It was renamed the Korean Film Awards in 2003. Votes were determined from a jury of 500 film professionals and 500 viewers selected through the internet, using a 7:3 ratio. In 2009, failure to secure sponsors during the Great Recession, global economic recession resulted in the cancellation of that year's ceremony. It resumed in 2010, with Hyundai Motor Company as the main sponsor. But persistent financial difficulties regarding the production costs led MBC to abolish the awards in 2011.
