A little late, but not too late.
Actor Kang Dong-won completes his relationship with Khan at the end of a long period of time.
Kang Dong-won is on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival with the movie 'The Broker' in collaboration with Japanese master director Hirokazu Koreeda.
Director Koreeda Hirokazu, Song Kang-ho, IU, and Lee Ju-young will attend the official screening of the competition section of 'Broker' to be held at the Lumière Theater in Cannes at 6:45 pm (local time) on the 26th.
The Cannes Film Festival is known as a 'dream stage' for directors and actors.
The charm of the Cannes Film Festival is that even those who have never been there will admit it to those who have been.
The respect and courtesy of the Cannes Film Festival gives filmmakers a sense of happiness and pleasure as if they are opening a new chapter in their film life.
That is why filmmakers who have been to Cannes remember May every year.
It also serves as a motivation for filmmakers to make better films.
Since his debut, Kang Dong-won has been working with the best directors and actors in Chungmuro, so he must also know the fame and charm of the Cannes Film Festival.
Kang Dong-won has been in a relationship with Khan for a long time without realizing it.

Kang Dong-won's relationship with the Cannes Film Festival dates back to 2017.
Kang Dong-won received an offer to appear in a French film in 2017 and had a meeting with foreign officials during the Cannes Film Festival.
As eyewitness accounts of seeing Kang Dong-won on the streets of Cannes spread during the film festival, reporters in the area competed for coverage to follow his steps.
In 2018, he made a surprise appearance on the red carpet for the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.
Kang Dong-won visited Cannes to promote the American movie 'Tsunami LA', which was being filmed at the time, and went up on the red carpet after receiving a request from the film festival to attend the opening ceremony.
He was a model, and because he was a handsome actor representing Korea, he boasted of his 'coolness' on the European red carpet.
It's a pity that it wasn't on the red carpet for the screening of the cast.
It was his Cannes red carpet debut that would have been better if he had come with the film, although he is said to have received film festival hospitality as a VIP.
In 2020, his final appearance was invited to the Cannes Film Festival.
'Peninsula' with director Yeon Sang-ho is on the list of official screenings.
However, this was at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Cannes Film Festival was abandoned physically and skipped the event by announcing a list of invited films.
It was a golden opportunity for Kang Dong-won to find the Cannes Film Festival with a movie in which he starred, but Corona 19 caught his eye.

In 2022, two years later, Kang Dong-won finally received an official invitation from Cannes together with a world-class master and stepped on the Cannes red carpet.
At the recently held 'Broker' production presentation, Dongwon Kang expressed his joy at being invited to Cannes by saying, "I was invited to Cannes for 'Peninsula' in the past, but I couldn't go to Cannes due to the pandemic after the announcement."
Kang Dong-won has a long-standing relationship with director Kore-eda Hirokazu.
As a 'broker', he was able to keep his long-time promise of "let's work together someday", and this harmony garnered worldwide attention and led to his entry into Cannes.
It is expected to be a meaningful moment in actor Kang Dong-won's acting life.
One time she attended a film festival may not change her life as an actress, but it can also be a moment in which she is given special memories and stimulating energy.
Kang Dong-won on the red carpet also raises expectations in many ways.
He is also interested in the clothes that will brighten up his appearance, as well as the handsome poses from a model, and his own red carpet attitude.
'Broker', which emerged as a powerfully anticipated film in the second half of the film festival, is a film depicting the unexpected and special journey of those who have a relationship over a baby box.
Kang Dong-won takes on the role of Dong-soo, a former orphanage who hates being abandoned in the play.
Not only the acting he will show, but also the reunion with Song Kang-ho after 12 years, and the ensemble with Lee Ji-eun (IU) attracts attention.
