Han Seo Hee vs. YoonA in black and white contrast at Cannes captivates global attention

Han Seo Hee and YoonA drew global spotlight at the 'Cannes International Film Festival' with strikingly contrasting styles that highlighted their distinct charms.

On May 17 (local time), Han Seo Hee appeared on the red carpet as a global ambassador for a luxury jewelry brand, showcasing a dazzling presence. She opted for an all-black ensemble paired with bold smoky makeup, emphasizing her signature mysterious and enigmatic aura.

On the same day, she also attended the official dinner event of the '2026 Women in Motion Awards' hosted by the Kering Group. Launched in partnership with the 'Cannes Film Festival' in 2015, the Women in Motion Awards is a long-running initiative that highlights the creativity and social contributions of female artists who have helped reshape perspectives in culture and the arts over the past decade.

Meanwhile, YoonA also lit up the red carpet as a global ambassador for another luxury jewelry brand. Appearing in a pure white gown, she captivated international media with an elegant and radiant look reminiscent of a Disney princess. Reports also noted that she made a notable impression at the '2026 Women in Motion Awards' event.

The contrasting black-and-white aesthetics of the two stars created a visual highlight at Cannes, drawing attention from global press and fans alike, while reinforcing their growing influence both as actors and international brand ambassadors.

Meanwhile, Han Seo Hee is set to appear in the upcoming film 'The Intern.' The film follows Seon Woo (played by Han Seo Hee), a passionate fashion company CEO who hires Gi Ho (Choi Min Shik), a seasoned senior intern with rich life experience, as they navigate generational differences in the workplace. The project is a Korean remake of the 2015 global hit of the same name, reinterpreted with contemporary cultural sensibilities.

'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty' starring YoonA, which aired last year on tvN, received strong audience love. She is also reportedly positively reviewing a potential role in the Korean adaptation of the Japanese TBS drama 'Unnatural.'
