Director Kim Sung-soo’s historical action drama "12.12: The Day" and Disney Plus’ original Korean drama series "Moving" both won top honors at the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards.

The 2023 film about South Korea's 1979 military coup, "12.12: The Day," won the grand prize for films during the awards ceremony Tuesday night, while "Moving," a sci-fi drama adapted from Kang Full's webtoon, won the biggest prize for television.

"12.12: The Day," which attracted over 13 million moviegoers, won triple accolades, also netting best film and best actor, the latter of which went to actor Hwang Jung-min for his portrayal of late former President Chun Doo-hwan.

"Moving," directed by Park In-je, became the second streaming service original series after Netflix's "Squid Game" to win the Baeksang grand prize. The sci-fi series also took home awards for best screenplay and best newcomer in the TV category.

The film that swept the highest number of awards was director Jang Jae-hyun's box-office hit paranormal thriller "Exhuma," which netted best director, best actress, best male newcomer and best technical achievement.
