This year’s 77th Cannes International Film Festival had no Korean films in the competition section, leaving a sense of disappointment. However, the presence of Korean beauties drew attention, especially with director Ryoo Seung-wan’s ‘Veteran 2’ being invited to the non-competitive Midnight Screening section.
Jennie attended the photocall for ‘The Idol,’ a non-competitive entry at Cannes last year, sporting a daenggi ponytail style that captured the attention of foreign media.
After the group photo session, only director Sam Levinson and lead actors Lily-Rose Depp, Abel Tesfaye, Troye Sivan, and Hari Nef had solo photo sessions. However, the foreign press chanted Jennie’s name, prompting additional solo shots for her. When Jennie finally stepped onto the stage, the foreign journalists cheered loudly. At that time, Jennie showcased her solo artist persona with a confident smile and posture, wearing a daenggi that highlighted the classical beauty of Korea.
