'Seine River Date' Jenny and V in Cannes

Where the needle goes, the thread goes. Coincidentally, I also went to debut with Jennie.

While the 76th Cannes Film Festival has been underway since the 16th, Jenny will step on the red carpet at 10:30 pm (local time) on the 22nd. Jenny was invited to Cannes for her first acting debut, the US HBO original drama 'The Idol'. Jenny attends the official screening schedule and red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival with the 'The Idol' team. This drama, which tells the story of a popular pop star in the entertainment industry, is composed of six episodes and will be released in North America and Korea this year.

While Jenny's beautiful dress on the red carpet is raising expectations, the group BTS V, who has been rumored to be dating and dating Jenny several times, also headed to Cannes.

According to his agency Big Hit Music, V went to Cannes this year after being invited to an event by Celine, a French luxury brand for which he is a global ambassador. An official from Big Hit Music told Ten Asia on the 22nd, "V visited France to attend Celine's fashion pictorial and event." It was known by some that V was stepping on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, but this turned out to be untrue.

Jenny's attendance at the Cannes Film Festival and V's stay in Cannes on this day received a lot of attention, because Jenny and V were recently spotted holding hands and enjoying a date near the Seine River in Paris. Some fans have expressed doubts about the authenticity of the dating video, but as the publicist re-certifies that the people in the video are V and Jenny, the date of the two is not a rumor, but a fait accompli.

Both Jennie and V are global stars with massive fandoms, so the news of their dating and dating was enough to shake fans around the world. As a result, fans are paying attention to whether Jenny and V, who are currently staying in Cannes at the same time, will meet again. In particular, at the time of the Seine River date, the two took a confident attitude regardless of the gaze of the people around them, so it is of great interest to see what they will do in Cannes this time.

However, the devotion of the two is not 'official'. Both YG Entertainment and Big Hit Music are not acknowledging or denying the relationship between Jenny and V, saying it is a private issue. V and Jenny's dating rumors first surfaced in May of last year, when a man and woman presumed to be V and Jenny went for a drive in Jeju Island, and a photo was released. At the time, as well as this Seine River date, the agencies of both sides are 'no comment'.

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).
