Awards and achievements
The drama is based on filmmaker Yeon Sang Ho's animated film of the same name; the movie previously received critical acclaim at film festivals for its cinematic brilliance. The Yeon Sang-featured movie, ‘The King of Pigs’(animation), was invited to the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, making it the first Korean animated film to do so. Additionally, ‘The King of Pigs’ earned three awards at BIFF, including the NETPAC (Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema) Award and the Movie Collage Award, before its official release in November 2011. Moreover, Yeon was also nominated for the festival's Camera d'Or 'Golden Camera' award, which goes to the best full-length first film in the Cannes selections.
