• "IU Was Hit On The Shoulder" ... Cannes Film Festival Site Video That Made Fans Angry

    A claim has been raised that IU, who made her splendid debut at the Cannes Film Festival with the movie ' Broker', was pushed by a local influencer.

    The 75th Cannes International Film Festival was held at the Lumière Grand Theater in Cannes, southern France on May 26th (local time).

    On this day, IU attended the film festival with Song Kang Ho and Kang Dong Won.

    The scene in question occurred while the actors were waiting for a while.

    A French beauty influencer shoved IU on the shoulder and passed by without saying a special apology.

    If there was a blow to IU's body, the person who pushed her would have noticed it, but she didn't look back.

    Netizens were outraged by comments such as "It's racism" and "I'm ignoring it because I'm Asian."

    Some fans also commented on the influencer's Instagram account to apologize.

    In the end, the influencer tagged IU's account on Instagram Stories and said, "I had no idea" and "I sincerely apologize."

    Even with the influencer's apology, fans pointed out "What kind of apology is it because it will be erased after a few hours?" and "It's just like a selfie video."

    Also, the influencer has 37,000 followers, while IU has 26 million followers. There is also a response that the apology was forcibly due to the difference in the number of followers.
