Online Users Choose Their Favorite Stars

Internet users have chosen Cha Tae-hyun of "Scandal Makers" ("Scandal Maker") and Shin Min-a of "Go Go 70s" as their favorite movie stars. The two film stars will be presented with the best leading actor and actress awards at the 6th Max Movie Grand Film Awards later Wednesday night in Seoul.

Cha's film "Scandal Makers" has drawn more than 8 million moviegoers, becoming the seventh highest grossing Korean film. The comedy about three-generation family with Cha as a young grandfather has warmed the hearts of Korean film lovers and again put Cha on the map as the nation's leading comic actor. Sin was applauded for her role as a dancer in "Go Go 70s", a film about a rock band struggling to make it in the conservative era of the 1970s.

Other award recipients include director Na Hong-jin of "The Chaser" for the best director's award, the late Heath Ledger of "Dark Knight" for the best supporting actor category, and Kim Hae-sook of "Open City" for the best supporting actress category.
