Han So Hee, on the other hand, will make a red carpet appearance to represent the luxury companies she favors. Both stars are preparing to demonstrate not just their individual star power, but also their worldwide influence on the international stage.
More Korean entertainment at Cannes Film Festival 2025
One of this year's festival's most anticipated South Korean productions is Colony, directed by Yeon Sang Ho of Train to Busan and starring Ji Chang Wook and Jun Ji Hyun.
The only Korean film officially admitted to the festival this year is the short film First Summer, directed by Heo Gayoung and selected for the La Cinef segment.
In addition, Jung Yoomi's short animated film Glasses has been selected for Critics' Week, one of the festival's parallel sections.

Ezra Milller considers returning to Hollywood after time away from public eye
Washington DC [US], June 23 (ANI): Actor Ezra Miller may be planning a return to Hollywood after staying out of the public eye for nearly two years. Known for the roles in The Flash and Fantastic Beasts, Miller recently appeared at the Cannes Film Festival to support filmmaker Lynne Ramsay. According to Deadline, Miller, while speaking to Italian outlet Lo Speciale Giornale, said they are considering coming back to the film industry "on tentative grounds." The actor shared that Ramsay invited them to Cannes for the premiere of her film Die My Love. "I came to Cannes to support one of my closest friends in the world, who is Lynne Ramsay--who I think is one of the greatest living filmmakers." "I'm working with her again; that will likely be the first thing I do: a film that she and I are writing together," Miller added. Miller admitted that returning to the spotlight was not easy. They called Cannes a "tough re-entry point" and added that they have spent much of their time writing while staying away from public life. "I've been writing a lot, because you can do that in solitude, which has been friendly to me," Miller said. Miller has been involved in several controversies since 2020, including legal issues related to assault, burglary, and allegations of inappropriate behavior. Some of the complaints were later withdrawn or dismissed. Speaking about their past actions, Miller added, "Not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things I did and a lot of things that happened in that time, but I'm really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss." According to Deadline, last year, a Massachusetts court lifted a temporary harassment order against Miller, which was brought by the mother of a 12-year-old. Miller later said the claims were false and claimed the case was an example of someone seeking "tabloid fame or some sort of personal vengeance." (ANI)

BTS' Suga to establish Min Yoongi Treatment Centre for autism care with Severance Hospital, pledges $3.6M for patients with ASD
It's not every day that BTS' Suga, born Min Yoongi, makes headlines—but when he does, it's often for a meaningful cause. The rapper and producer of the world-renowned K-pop group is currently trending across K-pop Twitter (now X) after news broke of his partnership with Severance Hospital to launch the Min Yoongi Treatment Centre. The initiative aims to support treatment and promote the social independence of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The announcement was made on June 23, just two days after Suga officially completed his mandatory military service as a public service worker. Severance Hospital held a groundbreaking ceremony for the centre and shared the news publicly, along with two photos of Suga—presumably taken at the event—posing with hospital officials. Notably, this was also his first public appearance since his DUI controversy. According to reports published by Korean media outlets on Naver, the centre is set to offer a wide range of services, including language, psychological, and behavioural therapies, with a focus on linking clinical care with research. Suga's collaboration with Severance Hospital and his offer to donate 5 billion KRW His collaboration with Severance Hospital began last November when he first met Professor Chun Geun Ah of the Department of Paediatrics, a leading expert in paediatric psychiatry. Through a series of conversations, Suga learnt about the urgent need for long-term, tailored care for individuals with ASD, something rarely addressed through current short-term interventions. He ultimately agreed with Professor Chun that a dedicated treatment centre was necessary and expressed his intention to donate 5 billion KRW (approximately 3,621,718 USD) for its establishment. This marks the largest donation ever made by an artist, not just to Severance Children's Hospital but to the entire Yonsei Medical Centre. The birth of the MIND programme In collaboration with Professor Chun, Suga helped develop the MIND programme, a social skills group therapy programme that integrates music into traditional treatment. The name 'MIND' stands for Music, Interaction, Network, and Diversity, reflecting its core goals: enhancing sensory experiences through music, encouraging social communication, building supportive networks, and fostering a society that embraces individual differences. Children in the programme engage in music-based activities like singing, writing lyrics, playing instruments, and expressing their feelings through creative exercises. From March to June this year, Suga actively participated in weekend sessions with children with ASD. He even played guitar alongside them, guiding them to explore rhythm, harmony, and emotion. At times, he personally taught them how to play instruments, becoming directly involved in shaping the program's structure and impact. Expanding treatment and research at the Min Yoongi Centre Once construction is completed in September, the Min Yoongi Treatment Centre will formally open its doors and expand its offerings. In addition to the MIND program, the centre will provide social skills training for individuals with developmental disabilities, along with established therapies like Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) and speech therapy. Plans are also in place to promote clinical research, academic presentations, and the publication of programme manuals to objectively document and evaluate the effectiveness of MIND. Professor Chun praised Suga's involvement, saying, 'Beyond financial support, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the sincere talent donation and volunteer work that Suga has shown over the past several months. I have been deeply impressed by his consistent sincerity and intellectual attitude.' She added that the ultimate goal is to help children with autism spectrum disorder grow into confident, independent members of society—and to reduce the stigma surrounding ASD through increased awareness. Suga on the power of music and meaningful change Reflecting on his experience, Suga shared, 'Through the programme preparation and volunteer work with Professor Chun Geun-ah over the past seven months, I've deeply felt that music can be a valuable channel for expressing emotions and communicating with the world.' He continued, 'I am very grateful and happy that I was able to participate in the treatment process for children with autism spectrum disorder, and I will continue to work hard so that more children can become members of our society.' As fans celebrate his return from service, this initiative further cements Suga's role not only as a global artist but also as someone deeply committed to making a difference through music, compassion, and community. Suga's long-standing commitment to mental health and youth Even during his years promoting with BTS, Suga has consistently shown a deep interest in social cause, especially mental health, depression among youth, and behavioural issues. He has quietly supported various charitable efforts over the years and has often used his platform and music to advocate for awareness and understanding of mental health struggles.
