Actress Jun Ji-hyun absolutely lit up the photocall at the 79th Cannes Film Festival!
On the morning of the 15th (local time), director Yeon Sang-ho and actors Jun Ji-hyun, Ji Chang-wook, Koo Kyo-hwan, Kim Shin-rok, and Shin Hyun-bin attended the official photocall for the film ‘Gunche’ at the Palais des Festivals terrace in Cannes, France.
Jun Ji-hyun captured everyone’s attention with her clean and sophisticated style. Pairing a white blouse and slacks with a long tie, she exuded a vibe that was both chic and pure. Her signature relaxed smile, natural attitude, and charismatic gaze completed a truly professional photocall.
‘Gunche’ is a film about survivors trapped in a locked building during a mysterious infection outbreak, fighting for survival against infected beings that evolve in unpredictable ways. It was invited to the Midnight Screening section of the 79th Cannes Film Festival.
Director Yeon Sang-ho has been invited to Cannes for the fourth time this year. He previously appeared at the 65th Cannes Film Festival’s Directors’ Fortnight with ‘The King of Pigs’ (2012), the 69th Cannes Film Festival’s Midnight Screening with ‘Train to Busan’ (2016), and was selected for the ‘Cannes 2020 Label’ with ‘Peninsula’ in 2020. With ‘Gunche’, he returns to the festival after about 10 years.
