The late actress Jang Jin-young received a special prize posthumously during the 30th Blue Dragon Film Awards held at the KBS Hall in Yeouido, Seoul, Wednesday evening.

Jang, who died on Sept. 1, had a special relationship with the awards, winning the best actress prize in 2001 with ``Sorum'' and again in 2003 with ``Singles.''

Organizers said, ``A special prize has been arranged to pay respect to the late actress. Jang's father and an official with her former agency received the award instead of her.''

Jang died after a year-long battle with stomach cancer.
