The actress has been invited to the 9th Cannes International Series Festival with her film 'Genfluencer', where she will meet international audiences through local events.
'Genfluencer' is a psychological suspense film that follows the story of 'Lee Jin', a protagonist who dreams of becoming an idol but faces a tragic accident. She connects to the 'Genfluencer' system, leading to the rebirth of K-pop idol 'Gina'. Bae Yoon-kyung plays both 'Lee Jin' and 'Gina', showcasing her deepened acting skills by portraying two contrasting characters and undergoing a striking visual transformation.
The film 'Genfluencer' has been officially invited to the non-competitive Rendez-Vous section of the 'Cannes Series', a newly established event by the Cannes Film Festival focusing on global dramas. This has garnered attention, along with the activities of lead actress Bae Yoon-kyung.
Starting on the 24th, Bae Yoon-kyung will participate in official interviews and photocalls at the Majestic Hotel in Cannes, followed by the world premiere screening and a GV (Guest Visit) session to discuss the film in depth. This screening is the first opportunity to watch 'Genfluencer' before its official release, attracting significant interest from industry insiders. She will conclude her official schedule by engaging with global media and audiences at the pink carpet event.
Having built a broad spectrum as an actress through various genres, Bae Yoon-kyung is set to have a meaningful time with international audiences at the 'Cannes Series'. Her journey of expanding her presence beyond Korea to the global stage is highly anticipated.
The 'Cannes Series', which Bae Yoon-kyung will attend, is held from April 23 to 28 in Cannes, France.
