Park Chan-wook is a South Korean filmmaker who has earned extensive international acclaim. His most notable honors include three major awards from the Cannes Film Festival: the Grand Prix for Oldboy (2003), the Jury Prize for Thirst (2009), and Best Director for Decision to Leave (2022). He also won a BAFTA for The Handmaiden (2016) and two awards at the Berlin International Film Festival, including a Golden Bear for his short film, Night Fishing (2011).

His recent work has continued this winning streak, with his satirical thriller No Other Choice (2025) sweeping the Blue Dragon Film Awards, winning both Best Film and Best Director, and earning a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture. Beyond his international success, Park remains a titan of South Korean cinema, having collected dozens of trophies from the Blue Dragon, Grand Bell, and Baeksang Arts Awards.

In recognition of his massive contribution to the global spread of Korean culture, the South Korean government has twice bestowed upon him the Order of Cultural Merit. He first received the Bogwan (Precious Crown, 3rd Class) in 2004 following the global success of Oldboy. In 2022, he was elevated to the Eungwan (Silver Crown, 2nd Class), the nation's second-highest cultural honor, which is reserved for individuals whose work has significantly raised the prestige of South Korean arts on the world stage.
