Korean actress Bae Doona has been named Best Actress at the 23rd Takasaki Film Festival in Japan, according to the festival’s official website on Thursday.

The actress won the award for her role in Japanese film “Air Doll”, claiming her second win for the part at a film event. She will be receiving another acting title at the Japan Academy Awards on March 5.
