The historical thriller film "Blood Rain" (2005) starring Cha Seung-won, Park Yong-woo and Ji Sung has won the grand prize at the "17th Yubari Fantastic Film Festival" in Hokkaido, Japan. The film was directed by Kim Dae-seung and produced by "Fun & Happiness Pictures".

The awards and closing ceremonies of the film festival were held at the Yubari Culture & Sports Center on Feb. 26. All the awards in the "Young Fantastic Competition Division" of the film festival, in which six films including "Blood Tears" competed, went to new films produced in Asian countries.

South Korean films attracted significant attention once again, as another South Korean film, "Never Belongs to Me" directed by Nam Ki-woong, received the Special Jury Award. The Critics Award went to a film produced by a Thai movie director.
