• Invited for Midnight Screening at the 79th Cannes International Film Festival... Interview with Shin Hyun-bin on the film 'COLONY'

Actor Shin Hyun-bin shared her thoughts on working with director Yoon Sang-ho for the third time.

On the 16th (local time), Shin Hyun-bin held an interview for the film 'COLONY' (directed by Yoon Sang-ho) at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France, in the afternoon, discussing the work. The film 'COLONY' was invited to the Midnight Screening section of the 79th Cannes International Film Festival and met audiences at the Grand Lumière Theater through its official screening on the 15th.

'COLONY' is a film about survivors trapped inside a building sealed off by an unidentified infectious outbreak, fighting against infected individuals evolving in unpredictable forms. Director Yoon Sang-ho, a 'Cannes regular,' has been invited to the Cannes Film Festival for the fourth time, starting with his first feature-length animation 'King of Pigs' (2012, Directors' Fortnight), followed by 'Train to Busan' (2016, Midnight Screening), and 'Peninsula' (2020, Official Selection). Known for leaving a strong impression on the global film industry with genre films that add a Korean-style zombie twist and original variations, director Yoon Sang-ho once again demonstrated his prowess as the father of Korean zombies through 'COLONY'.

Shin Hyun-bin portrays the protagonist and Gong Seon-hee of a special investigation team, showcasing an expanded acting spectrum.

Sharing her impressions of attending the Cannes Film Festival, Shin Hyun-bin said, "It was enjoyable. I was worried that the screening time was slightly delayed, but from the moment I entered the red carpet until the movie ended, I received so much warm support. It felt as though those moments were part of making this film together, and that I was part of this film."

'COLONY' is the third project where Shin Hyun-bin collaborates with director Yoon Sang-ho, following 'Revelation' and 'Face'. Shin Hyun-bin stated, "Whether during the casting process or when I take on the role, I feel a very kind and considerate heart from director Yoon Sang-ho. When a role from the director's work comes my way, instead of feeling burdened, I think the director must see something in me. Also, on set, after I perform, he comes in with very precise suggestions like, 'How about trying it this way in the next take?'"

When asked about the advantages of working as a member of the 'Yooniverse' (Yoon Sang-ho Universe), Shin Hyun-bin said, "Before acting, I know the director will explain things clearly, and being familiar with how he will proceed on set is an advantage. Aside from that, both the films and characters are different, so everything is different. Even after working on several projects together, I still think, 'How will this one be different this time?'"

Meanwhile, 'COLONY', first unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival, will be released domestically on the 21st.
