Song Kang-ho to Present Awards at Cannes Film Festival Closing Ceremony

Attended Closing Ceremony for 3 Consecutive Years Following Last Year's Best Actor Award

Actor Song Kang-ho will participate in the closing ceremony of the Cannes International Film Festival for the third consecutive year. According to the distributor Barunson E&A, he will appear as an award presenter at the closing ceremony held on the 27th (local time) at the Lumi?re Grand Theatre in Cannes, France. The specific category he will be in charge of has not been disclosed. The Cannes Film Festival judges the competing films and awards nine trophies, including the top prize, the Palme d'Or, the Grand Prix, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay.

Song Kang-ho attended the closing ceremony in 2021 as the lead actor of "Emergency Declaration," which was invited to the non-competitive section, and as a jury member for the competitive section. The following year, he won the Best Actor award for "Broker." This year, he visited Cannes with "Cobweb," in which he starred, invited to the non-competitive section. The drama depicts the events that unfold when a film director who wants to reshoot the ending proceeds with filming despite opposition from actors and producers who do not understand the changed content. Directed by Kim Ji-woon, the film features Song Kang-ho, Lim Soo-jung, Oh Jung-se, Jeon Yeo-been, Jung Soo-jung, Park Jung-soo, and Jang Young-nam.

Including this work, Song Kang-ho has walked the Cannes Film Festival red carpet eight times with films such as "The Host" (2006), "Secret Sunshine" (2007), "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" (2008), "Thirst" (2009), and "Parasite" (2019). This is the highest number of invitations for a Korean actor.
