World class Jennie and Song Joong-ki attended Cannes

Although this Cannes Film Festival did not have any works that entered the competition section, there were many elements that could attract the attention of movie fans. Group BLACKPINK Jenny made a splendid debut as an actress at the Cannes Film Festival, and actor Song Joong-ki entered Cannes for the first time in his life and enjoyed the festival by showing off his lover's side. The two-shot of director Hong Sang-soo and actor Kim Min-hee, who were expected to attend together, could not be seen. Director Hong attracted attention by digesting the schedule of 'Our Day' alone with actor Ki Joo-bong, not Kim Min-hee.Global star Jennie, Cannes excited with four dressesJennie was invited to Cannes through the US HBO drama series 'The Idol', which was officially invited to the non-competition category. At this film festival, he showed off a total of four dresses and became a hot topic. When only Jenny appeared, a flash flood erupted and attention was focused.
On the red carpet, Jennie wore a bell-line midi white dress with white embroidery, and gave a classic mood with a black hair ribbon and shoes. The next look is a wrap skirt with a check tweed vest that reveals the chest line slightly, suitable for an after party. At the 'The Idol' photo call event, she showed off her neat and sophisticated styling in an off-shoulder black midi dress. The last look she wore was an A-line black mini dress.
Jennie, the ambassador of Chanel, a world-class French luxury brand, received the world's attention with styling that suits the situation and place like a well-known fashionista.
However, Jenny's acting debut film 'The Idol' is criticized for its high level of sexuality, misogynistic descriptions and androgynous sexual fantasies. In particular, the nudity of Lily-Rose Depp, who played the lead role, was on the cutting board and raised eyebrows from many. It is known that Jenny's appearance is not a big part, about 10 to 15 minutes.
'The Idol' is set in the music industry of Los Angeles (LA), and contains the world and love story of a popular female pop singer. Including The Weeknd, Johnny Depp's daughter and actress Lily-Rose Depp played the main roles, and in addition, it boasts a splendid lineup such as Troye Sivan and Dan Levy. Jenny played Diane, a backup dancer for Jocelyn, the main character who dreams of becoming a pop star.Lover Song Joong-ki, even entering the first section, "My nerves are all babies"

First unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival, this film will be released in Korea this year.
Song Joong-ki, who caught both work and love, is said to have never left his smile as he is a prospective father to his newlyweds.

It is said that Song Joong-ki did not hide his anticipation for the 2nd generation and his love for his wife Katie, saying, "My nerves are all babies" while conveying his impressions of entering Cannes.
Above all, Song Joong-ki did not hide the fact that he was a 'married man' by going to all official events wearing a simple wedding band on the ring finger of his left hand. Currently known to be full-term, Katie accompanies Song Joong-ki on his Cannes schedule, but was unable to attend the premiere, which was an official event, due to violent and brutal scenes in 'Hwaran'.Where is Kim Min-hee, the lead actress of 'Our Day'?
