Cannes Spotlight: Cannes Film Festival opened Tuesday with Park Chan-wook presiding over the Palme d’Or jury, but the big talk is AI anxiety and Hollywood’s noticeable absence—a quieter Croisette than usual as 22 films chase the top prize. Bong Joon Ho’s Next Move: The director’s first animated feature, “Ally,” unveiled a starry voice cast (Bradley Cooper, Ayo Edebiri, Dave Bautista, Finn Wolfhard, Werner Herzog and more), with a 2027 completion and later-year release plans. K-pop Momentum: aespa dropped pre-release single “WDA,” featuring G-Dragon, ahead of its May 29 album “Lemonade.” Pop-Culture Legal Clash: Samsung denied Dua Lipa’s claim that it used her photo on TV packaging without permission, saying a content partner granted authorization. Inter-Korean Sports Support: Seoul plans to fund cheering for a North Korean women’s team’s rare visit for an AFC semifinal in Suwon.
