Actor Lee Soo-hyuk and Oh My Girl member Arin walked the pink carpet at the Cannes Series with 'S-line.'
On the 29th, the production team of the drama 'S-line' (directed by Ahn Joo-young) announced that they successfully completed official schedules, including the world premiere official screening as the only Korean content in the competition category of the 8th Cannes International Series Festival.
The drama 'S-line,' invited to the competition section of the 8th Cannes International Series Festival (Cannes International Series Festival, abbreviated as 'Cannes Series'), which opened on the 24th, has been receiving warm attention from global media and audiences while carrying out official schedules on-site. 'S-line' is a drama based on a webtoon of the same name, depicting a story where a red line, known as the S-line, appears over people's heads connecting those who have intimate relationships, regardless of time and place.
The 'S-line' team kicked off their official schedule with a photo call event for global media on the 27th (local time) in the morning. Actors Lee Soo-hyuk, Arin, Lee Eun-sam, Nam Gyu-hee, and director Ahn Joo-young smiled brightly in response to the flash of cameras in front of numerous reporters.
Through the official screening held at the Lumière Grand Theatre, episodes 1 and 2 of 'S-line' had their world premiere. After the screening ended, the audience, filling over 2,000 seats, applauded loudly, praising the work's bold setup, unique worldview, and the compelling performances of the actors. As the only Korean content in the competition this year, 'S-line' has once again left a mark on global fans, highlighting the allure of K-content.
On the same evening, the pink carpet event, the representative ceremony of the Cannes Series, took place. Actors Lee Soo-hyuk, Arin, Lee Eun-sam, and Nam Gyu-hee, who walked the pink carpet, which is symbolically associated with the Cannes Series, expressed their gratitude for the enthusiastic response from global media and fans, further heating up the festival's atmosphere.
Actor Lee Soo-hyuk, who made his first appearance at Cannes and fulfilled his official schedule, said, "I am happy to be at Cannes, and I thank Cannes for recognizing our efforts regardless of the outcome. I believe it is an honor just to be invited. Coming to Cannes, the good energy of this city that loves content feels even more tangible, making me happy during this schedule. I will do my best to come often and greet everyone." Arin said, "I am so grateful that 'S-line' was invited to the dreamlike Cannes Series, allowing us to create precious and unforgettable memories." Additionally, actors Lee Eun-sam and Nam Gyu-hee, who appear as significant characters in episodes 1 and 2 of 'S-line,' expressed, "It is an honor to be invited. Please show a lot of interest in 'S-line'" (Lee Eun-sam) and "It is an honor for 'S-line' to be invited to the Cannes Series and to experience new things" (Nam Gyu-hee). The awards for the feature-length competition section, where 'S-line' was invited, will be held on the 29th (local time) during the closing ceremony.
Successfully completing its official schedule, the drama 'S-line' has proven the status of K-content. It is based on the popular webtoon creator 'Kkomabi,' known for the Netflix series 'Killer Us,' and has been recognized as a representative work that distinctly showcases the personality of Kkomabi, who has established a unique worldview in each of her works, tackling themes that pierce the essence of humanity. The curiosity about the drama 'S-line' is heightened, as it has brought this unique worldview to life through the passionate performances of actors Lee Soo-hyuk, Lee Da-hee, Arin, and others, who possess diverse charms and acting skills.
'S-line' is expected to be released domestically within this year.
