The screening of 'COLONY' was delayed by about 30 minutes from the originally scheduled 12:30 PM showing due to theater circumstances, but the audience waited until the end, showing their interest and anticipation for K-movies.

The actors who walked the red carpet waved to the welcoming crowds and enjoyed the night air of Cannes.

Jeon Ji-hyun wore an elegant white dress, showcasing her beautiful looks and figure. Ji Chang-wook captivated the audience with a black-and-white suit that seemed to match Jeon Ji-hyun, while Koo Kyo-hwan added a cute charm with a black suit and bow tie. Shin Hyeon-bin displayed her beauty with a bright charm mixing silver and black. Kim Shin-rok exuded charm with a chic and dandy black two-piece that suited her short haircut.

Especially on this day, Director Park Chan-wook came out to greet the red carpet, welcoming Jeon Ji-hyun, Director Yoon Sang-ho, and the actors. Director Park Chan-wook, who is in charge of the competition section Shim Sa-wi (Director) at the Cannes International Film Festival, drew attention by conveying affectionate support to the attending actors and Director Yoon Sang-ho. Director Park Chan-wook hugged Jeon Ji-hyun, who walked the red carpet, expressing his pride. The meeting of Director Park Chan-wook, who is in charge of the competition section Shim Sa-wi (Director) at a world-class film festival, Director Yoon Sang-ho, who came with a work for such a Cannes Film Festival, and the actors created a special picture.

As the actors entered the theater, cheers erupted. The actors showed heartwarming expressions as they saw the audience welcoming them enthusiastically. Jeon Ji-hyun pretended to wipe away tears with her hand to Director Yoon Sang-ho sitting next to her, even showing signs of being moved before the film screening began.

After the 122nd-minute screening ended, applause erupted as soon as the movie credits began to roll, and standing ovations continued for about seven minutes after the screening concluded. Director Yoon Sang-ho and the actors, all with moved expressions, conveyed their gratitude to the audience that filled the theater.

Director Yoon Sang-ho, a 'regular guest' at Cannes, was invited to the Cannes Film Festival for the fourth time, starting 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). Director Yoon Sang-ho, who has left a strong impression on the world film industry with genre films that added a Korean-style zombie genre and original twists, once again demonstrated the power of the father of K-zombies through 'COLONY'.

Meanwhile, 'COLONY', which was first unveiled through the Cannes Film Festival, will be released in Korea on the 21st.
