The Cine21 Film Awards is a South Korean film awards ceremony established by Cine21, a comprehensive weekly video magazine published by The Hankyoreh newspaper. The awards, which recognized outstanding films and individuals from the magazine's inaugural year in 1995, officially launched in February 1996.[1]

The first three awards ceremonies selected films from the preceding year in the early part of the following year. For the first two years (1st and 2nd editions), selections were made by regular readers, rather than by a panel of experts like critics and journalists. Beginning with the 3rd edition, to enhance professionalism, the selection method was changed, with Cine21's editorial staff serving as the selection committee.[1]

From the 4th edition onward, the editorial staff continued as the selection committee, but the awards ceremony itself, held for the first three editions, was discontinued. Instead, Cine21 began announcing "Film of the Year" and "Filmmaker of the Year" in its year-end issue. This method remains in practice today.[1]
