Singer and actor Choi Seung Hyun (Big Bang’s TOP) is a strong candidate for the nomination in the “newcomer” category for the 2010 movie awards that will slowly begin again this year.

Choi Seung Hyun debuted in the big screen though the war movie, “Into the Fire” released this past June which received an audience of more that 3.3million views, in which he transformed into Oh Jang Bum who beared the scars of the war.

The first half of the theater year has been exposed with the presence of amateur actors from which Choi Seung Hyun has played the biggest portion, therefore cinema officials are evaluating this.

Although born as a singer, he learned how to transform from that into a sincere actor who successfully emerged from the water despite being surrounded by veteran actors, that only served as help for him. If Choi Seung Hyun is awarded at film festival acting awards ceremony, he would be the first idol group member to ever be awarded.

The 2010 Film Festival Awards press conference will be held next 7th of September and on the 18th the 18th Icheon Chunsa International Film Festival will be held.
