Actor Lee Jun-ki will receive the Top Foreign Star Award at the 10th Shanghai Film Festival on June 16 along with actress Sharon Stone.

Lee's agency said the actor will personally attend the festival, which invites top stars from around the world.

SEOUL, Sept. 21 (Yonhap) -- South Korea selected "The King and the Clown," a period drama by Lee Joon-ik, as its contender for next year's foreign film Oscar, hoping it will bring the country's first Academy award home.

The 16th-century tale beat its contemporary rivals, "The Host" by Bong Joon-ho and "Time" by Kim Ki-duk, with its better potential to appeal to a U.S. audience, the Korean Film Council said.

"The Host" and "King and the Clown" -- the two most popular movies in Korea this year -- have emerged as rivals in Korean, Japanese and American box-offices.

Last weekend, "The Host" broke the box-office record of "King and the Clown," and now the two movies are poised to compete at the Academy Awards slated for February next year in the United States in the category of foreign-language films.

The production companies of the two films have already decided to apply for the nomination. The CEO of the production firm of "The Host" says he believes that the jury will take into account the film's popularity abroad.
