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 asking price is 88,862 dollars (about 110 million Korean won).

Many people continue to be impressed by IU's capacity to digest pricey and bright jewelry.

Meanwhile, "Broker" is the first Korean film directed by Hirokazu Koreeda, a Japanese maestro.

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.

Lee Kyung Gyu's star-making influence goes beyond Kang Ho Dong, as Hong Jin Kyung shares how he helped her kickstart her career.

On the April 24 episode of KBS 2TV’s Problem Child in House, legendary comedian Lee Kyung Gyu appeared as a guest—and a touching story from the past was revealed.

Hong Jin Kyung surprised everyone when she said, “He’s the teacher for all of us. Personally, he’s the one who helped me debut.” She even pinned a carnation flower on his chest to show her gratitude.

Lee Kyung Gyu smiled and said, “I still remember when Hong Jin Kyung walked up the stairs onto the stage for the first time.”

Hong Jin Kyung then shared her journey to becoming a star. “I joined a supermodel contest, but only the top 3 winners were noticed in broadcasting. I got a special prize, so I had no chance to be on TV."

She continued, "At first, I was just a backup for a show. But somehow, I became a regular the next week. I never knew why."

She added, "I thought the PD gave me a shot. But then one day, I randomly met Kyung Gyu sunbae, and he told me it was actually him who recommended me.”

Kim Sook asked with a smile, “So Kyung Gyu sunbae said nice things about you to the PD?”

Lee Kyung Gyu playfully replied, “Don’t say it in such a childish way,” making everyone laugh.

He then explained more seriously, “The show was Scoop TV Entertainment, and I was pretty much the main MC. When Jin Kyung showed up, I saw her determination and passion."

He added, "While others didn’t seem serious, she really stood out. I told the PD, ‘She seems unique. Why not keep her on the show?’”

Kim Jong Kook chimed in, “So if the main MC said that, doesn’t that mean you basically got her in?”

That made Lee Kyung Gyu happy. He grinned and replied, “Exactly! You speak well. Be like him!”

He added, “After that, Jin Kyung’s career took off. She started doing shows with Lee Young Ja and just kept going.”

Fans are now calling Lee Kyung Gyu not only a top MC, but also a quiet star-maker behind the scenes!
