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.

On March 7, F&F Entertainment confirmed that UNIS (Jin Hyun-joo, Nana, Jelly Dangka, Kotoko, Bang Yoon-ha, Elysia, Oh Yoon-ah, and Im Seo-won) will represent BENCH in various promotional activities.

The eight members, known for their youthful energy and fresh visuals, are expected to captivate fans across all generations and solidify their status as a global Gen Z icon.

UNIS isn’t just making a name in music—they’re dominating the advertising world too!

Beauty Industry Success: UNIS became the face of a vegan cosmetics brand, and their lip product sold out 450,000 units! The ‘UNIS effect’ was so strong that the product is now hard to find in stores due to supply shortages.

Explosive Popularity in the Philippines: When UNIS visited the Philippines, they were met with massive crowds at the airport and their sold-out fan concert, 1st Philippine Fancon ‘UNIS in CURIOUSland’, held in October last year.

Now, They’re Taking Over Fashion! With this new BENCH/ endorsement, UNIS is proving they are a rising K-pop group with major global influence.

UNIS is not slowing down! The group is currently preparing for a comeback in April, and fans can expect a completely new concept that will further establish them in the global music scene.

With sold-out products, packed concerts, and now a major fashion deal, UNIS is on the rise! Are they the next big thing in K-pop?
