South Korea has selected Lee Chang-dong's Secret Sunshine as its submission to the foreign language film category of the Academy Awards. A special committee appointed by the Korean Film Council chose Secret Sunshine over Kim Ki-duk's Breath and Kim Ji-hoon's box office hit May 18. Secret Sunshine premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May, where it won an actress award for Jeon Do-yeon as a young widow who moves from Seoul to start over in a provincial city. The film also stars Kang-ho Song. South Korea has never had a film selected for inclusion in the final five nominations.
