Jenny Kim, first step as an actress at the Cannes Film Festival

Group BLACKPINK Jennie took her first step as an actress on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. It's the best first step ever.

Jenny got off in front of the Lumiere Theater at the 76th Cannes International Film Festival at 10 pm on the 22nd (local time) and walked on the red carpet with actor and singer Troye Sivan under the name of actor Jenny Kim.

Jennie wore a bell-line medium-length white dress, and gave a classic look with a black hair ribbon and shoes. While feeling cute and lively, elegance coexisted.

Fans waiting for Jenny's appearance on the red carpet did not stop shouting at Jenny. In response to the cheers of the fans, Jennie drew attention with a superstar-like attitude, such as blowing a kiss and greeting.

Jennie starred in the HBO drama The Idol, co-produced and starring pop star The Weeknd. This drama, Jennie's debut as an actress, is set in the music industry of Los Angeles (LA) and contains the world of the music industry and love story of a popular female pop singer. Including The Weeknd, Johnny Depp's daughter and actress Lily-Rose Depp took on the lead roles, and boasts a splendid lineup including Troye Sivan and Dan Levy. Jenny played Diane, a backup dancer for Jocelyn, the main character who dreams of becoming a pop star. 'The Idol' was invited to the non-competition category.

Meanwhile, a total of seven Korean films were invited to the Cannes Film Festival this year. 'Fire' (Director Kim Chang-hoon) in 'Notable Gaze', 'Spider's Nest' (Director Kim Ji-woon) in Non-Competition, 'Escape: PROJECT SILENCE' (Director Kim Tae-gon) in Midnight Screening, 'Sleep' (Director Yoo Jae-sun) in Critics' Week ), and 'Our Day' (director Sangsoo Hong) was listed as the closing film for the director's week. 'Brothers of the Lee Family' (Korea National University of Arts School of Film, Film Department Seo Jeong-mi) and 'Hall' (Korean Film Academy Hwang Hye-in) were selected in the La Cinef (Cine Foundation) category.

It opened on the 16th and will be held until the 27th. The opening film is 'Jean du Barry' (directed by Maiwen), and the closing film is 'Elemental' (directed by Peter Sohn).
