K-zombies are heating up Cannes. Director Yoon Sang-ho and the cast of the film 'COLONY' stood before journalists from countries around the world, beaming with happy smiles.

On the morning of the 15th (local time), a photocall for 'COLONY', an invited work for the Midnight Screening, was held at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France. Jeon Ji-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hyeon-bin, Kim Shin-rok, and director Yoon Sang-ho kicked off the first schedule of the Cannes Film Festival.

Actors including Jeon Ji-hyun, who attended the Cannes Film Festival for 'COLONY', greeted journalists from around the world during the photocall session.

The cast of 'COLONY' gathered together on a table emblazoned with the golden palm, the symbol of the Cannes Film Festival photocall, and shared happy smiles. Their happiness at being invited to the festival with the film they created together was palpable.

In particular, director Yoon Sang-ho, who has visited Cannes for the third zombie film following 'Train to Busan', which sparked the K-zombie fever, and 'Peninsula', is once again starting the box office train with 'COLONY'.

On this day, Jeon Ji-hyun drew attention with a black-and-white look pairing a blouse with black pants, her long straight hair hanging down.

Koo Kyo-hwan, dressed in a black suit, captivated the audience with his playful demeanor.

Ji Chang-wook, wearing a black suit and horn-rimmed glasses, displayed a dandy style.

Shin Hyeon-bin, in a beige suit, tied her hair up neatly, showcasing her pure charm.

Kim Shin-rok conveyed her charm with a daring white two-piece featuring a deep V-line.

The film 'COLONY' is about survivors trapped inside a building sealed off by an unidentified infection outbreak, fighting against infected individuals who evolve in unpredictable forms. 'COLONY' will be unveiled for the first time through a world premiere screening at midnight on this day.

Before the premiere screening, director Yoon Sang-ho and actors Jeon Ji-hyun, Koo Kyo-hwan, Ji Chang-wook, Shin Hyeon-bin, and Kim Shin-rok will walk the red carpet. After meeting fans on the red carpet in front of the Lumière Theatre, they will join the film screening.

Director Yoon Sang-ho, who was invited to the Cannes Film Festival for the fourth time, began with his first feature-length animated film 'King of Pigs' (2012, Directors' Fortnight), followed by 'Train to Busan' (2016, Midnight Screening section), and 'Peninsula' (2020, Official Selection). Known for leaving a strong impression on the global film industry with genre films that blend Korean-style zombie themes with original twists, director Yoon Sang-ho is set to once again prove the strength of Korean cinema through 'COLONY'.

Meanwhile, 'COLONY', which made its first public appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, will be released on the 21st.
