• Gucci Taps IU as Global Brand Ambassador Following Appearance at Cannes Film Festival

    IU has been promoted from Gucci Korea Ambassador to Global Ambassador.

    On May 30th, Gucci's official Instagram post, "Global brand ambassador IU at the 75th Cannes Film Festival was caught wearing a Gucci gown with lace ribbed flower petals on the sleeves, and sequin flowers and crystal decorations on her skirt." A photo was posted along with it.

    The released photo shows IU walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.

    The light green dress IU wore on this day was from Gucci, and the gorgeous decorations embedded in the dress, see-through sleeves, and frills doubled IU's elegant charm.

    IU's beauty in the photo also drew attention, but what stood out in this post was that IU became Gucci's global ambassador.

    IU has been working as an ambassador for Gucci Korea since 2020.

    However, without saying anything, IU became Gucci's global ambassador, and the exact timing of promotion is unknown. Gucci also said, "It is difficult to say exactly when IU signed a contract as a global ambassador."

    With this, IU was selected as Gucci's global ambassador after EXO's Kai, actors Lee Jung Jae, and Shin Min Ah.

    Meanwhile, IU attended the 75th Cannes Film Festival with the movie 'Broker'. IU plays the role of her single mother in the play, her mother who left her child in a baby box.

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

    On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
    “I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

    Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

    Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

    People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

    Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

    Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

    Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
