    IU walked the red carpet with "Actress Lee Ji Eun" at the Cannes International Film Festival.

    While many praised IU's look in a gray chiffon gown, many also praised her necklace.

    On May 26th, the Lumière Grand Theater in Cannes, Southern France, hosted the 75th Cannes International Film Festival.

    On this day, IU made her Cannes Film Festival debut with the film "Broker."

    In an off-the-shoulder outfit that exposed her shoulders, IU donned a diamond necklace.

    This diamond necklace drew the attention of netizens. The necklace is thought to be a "Joséphine Aigrette" necklace by the French luxury jeweler Chaumet.

    The plot revolves around Sang Hyeon (Song Kang Ho), a laundry owner who is perpetually in debt, and Dong Su (Kang Dong Won), an orphanage worker who works at a baby box facility and secretly adopts a kid in a baby box. So Yeong, her mysterious mother, is played by IU.

    In Korea, the film "Broker" will be released on June 8.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
