For a low-budget film costing only ₩4 billion, it surpassed the 10 million viewer mark on 2 February, received good reviews from both critics and audiences. This led to its commercial success, which is remarkable, considering its focus on traditional arts with homosexual themes. The success was also surprising given the lack of a big budget and high-profile top-billing actors and director compared to other films such as Taegukgi: Brotherhood of War and Silmido, who have both surpassed 10 million viewers. The film also notably propelled the then unknown Lee Joon-gi into Asia-wide stardom. This film was chosen by the Korea Film Council-appointed committee as South Korea's submission for the 2006 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It was selected over two other films: The Host and Time for its overall aesthetic and commercial quality.’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_and_the_Clown 27TH BLUE DRAGON AWARDS 2006 Lee Joon Gi  and Gam Woo Sung Lee Joon Gi Popular Star Award Best Couple (with Gam Woo Sung) Gam Woo Sung Best Couple (with Lee Joon Gi) Kang Sung Yeon Popular Star Award Lee Byung Woo Best Music The King and The Clown Best Film (Nominated) Lee Joon Ik Best Director (Nominated) Kam Woo Sung Best Actor  (Nominated) Lee Joon Gi Best New Actor  (Nominated) Yoo Hae Jin Best  Supporting Actor (Nominated) Kang Sung Yeon Best  Supporting Actress (Nominated) Kang Seung Yeong Best Art Direction (Nominated) Han Gi Eop Best Lighting (Nominated) Kim Sang Bum & Kim Jae Bum Technical Award - Editing (nominated) 43RD GRAND BELL AWARDS 2006 The King and The Clown Best Film Lee Joon Ik Best Director Kam Woo Sung Best Actor Yoo Hae Jin Best Supporting Actor Lee Joon Gi  Best New Actor Award Popularity Award Korean Wave Popularity Award Choi Seok Hwan Best Screenplay Ji Gil Woong Best Cinematography Kang Sung Yeon Best  Supporting Actress (Nominated) Kim Sang Bum & Kim Jae Bum Best Editing (Nominated) Han Gi Eop Best Lighting (Nominated) Kang Seung Yeong Best Art Direction (Nominated) Shim Hyun Sub Best Costume Design (Nominated) Lee Byung Woo Best Music (Nominated) Kim Tan Young & Choi Tae Young Best Sound (Nominated) 42ND BAEKSANG ARTS AWARDS 2006 The King and The Clown  Grand Prize (Film) Lee Joon Gi  Best New Actor Award (Film) InStyle Fashionista Award The King and The Clown Best Film (Nominated) Lee Joon Ik Best Director (Nominated) Jung Jin Young Best Actor (Nominated) Choi Seok Hwan Best Screenplay (Nominated) THE 5TH KOREAN FILM AWARDS 2006 Lee Joon Gi  Best  New Actor Award The King and The Clown Best Film (Nominated) Lee Joon Ik Best Director (Nominated) Kang Sung Yeon Best  Supporting Actress (Nominated) Kang Seung Yeong Best Art Direction (Nominated) 14TH CHUNSA FILM ART AWARDS 2006 Lee Joon Gi with Kam Woo Sung Kam Woo Sung Best Actor Jang Hang Sun Best Supporting Actor Lee Joon Gi  Best  New Actor (Nominated) 29TH GOLDEN SHOOT AWARDS 2006 Lee Joon Gi  The Best Newcomer Actor Award 10TH SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2007 Lee Joon Gi   Overseas Star Award HAWAII INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2007 Lee Joon Gi  Rising Star Award OTHER AWARDS 3RD  MAX MOVIE AWARDS 2006 LEE JOON GI BEST ACTOR AWARD 29TH  GOLDEN CINEMA FILM FESTIVAL 2006 LEE JOON GI BEST NEW ACTOR 6TH  KOREA YOUTH FILM FESTIVAL 2006 LEE JOON GI BEST NEW ACTOR BOX OFFICE MOJO THE KING AND THE CLOWN https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/intl/?page=&country=KR&id=_fWANGUINAMJA(THEK01 THE KING AND THE CLOWN INTERNATIONAL RELEASE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_and_the_Clown#Awards TAIWAN 7 MAY 2006 SINGAPORE 22 JUNE 2006 VANCOUVER / TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL CANADA 7 SEPTEMBER 2006 TOKYO FILM FESTIVAL JAPAN 21 OCTOBER 2006 THEATRICAL RELEASE 9 DECEMBER 2006 SHANGHAI CHINA 28 OCTOBER 2006 LONDON FILM FESTIVAL THE UNITED KINGDOM 29 OCTOBER 2006 CAPE TOWN FILM FESTIVAL SOUTH AFRICA 14 NOVEMBER 2006 NEW ZEALAND FILM FESTIVAL 1 DECEMBER 2006 LOS ANGELES THE USA 3 JANUARY 2007 FLORENCE FILM FESTIVAL ITALY 30 MARCH 2007 DEAUVILLE FILM FESTIVAL FRANCE 1 APRIL 2007 THEATRICAL RELEASE 23 JANUARY 2008
