Lee Byung-hun was at the Academy Awards as a presenter.

He is the first Korean to have stood on the stage of the 88th Academy Awards. He was a presenter for the foreign movies category.

Hungarian movie "Saul's Son" took the prize.

Sumi Jo the soprano was also on stage as her song "Simple Song" is the OST of "Youth" the movie.

However, that movie was just on the list and the award went to Sam Smith who sang the OST for 007's "Spectre".

Sumi Jo's performance was also cancelled as the host party asked for the 6 minute song to be reduced to 3 minutes but Sumi Jo declined saying she couldn't distort the original.
