Air date

No need to wait any longer as the 41st Blue Dragon Film Awards will air on February 9, 2021. The red carpet will start at 7:50 pm KST / 5:50 am EST.

This year’s awards ceremony is strongly taking safety into account. It will be held at integrated resort complex Paradise City in Incheon without an in-person audience for safety reasons and necessary measures will be in place. The film awards were initially scheduled to take place last year on December 11 but were postponed due to coronavirus concerns (there was a spike in Covid-19 cases in late 2020).

Hosts

Announcer Park Shin Young and BamBam (member of K-pop group GOT7), who are fluent in multiple languages like Korean, English, Thai, and Japanese, will be the MCs for the red carpet event.
