The Cannes Film Festival is embroiled in controversy yet again, with a security guard accused of disrespecting K‑pop star and actress YoonA by hindering her red carpet photo opportunity.
This follows a similar incident involving singer Kelly Rowland, who hinted at possible racial bias from the guard. The guard’s colleagues, however, defended her actions as simply enforcing protocol.
