Actor Jung Hae-in has the honor of being on the red carpet at the first Cannes Film Festival in his life.

Jung Hae-in was on the red carpet at the 77th Cannes International Film Festival on the 21st. His film "I, the Executioner (2024)", was invited to the Midnight Screening in the non-competitive category.

"I, the Executioner (2024)" proved to be a hot topic. The world premiere sold out even before its screening at the Cannes Film Festival. After the movie, there was a 10-minute standing ovation and cheers from the audience.

Jung Hae-in entered the Cannes Film Festival for the first time since his debut. He had a special moment while walking on the red carpet. He introduced his movie to audiences all over the world who filled the theater.

After the official schedule, Jung Hae-in said through his agency, "I was so grateful and happy to come to the Cannes Film Festival as an actor."

"More than anything else, it is all the more meaningful because I spent the time with Ryu Seung-wan and Hwang Jung-min. In fact, it was a moment full of joy that no words can describe," he added.

"I was able to receive a lot of good energy through various schedules in Cannes, and I think it will remain a really valuable and special memory in my future career as an actor," he said.

"I, the Executioner (2024)" is an action crime investigation drama. Detective Seo Do-cheol (played by Hwang Jung-min) and the youngest detective Park Sun-woo (played by Jeong Hae-in) of the violent crime investigation team chase after serial killers.

Meanwhile, "I, the Executioner (2024)" will be released in Korea in the second half of the year.
