Cannes is the most prestigious international film festival and attracts a global audience. Lee Sunkyun has stepped on the Cannes red carpet for the first time in four years since 'Going to the End' (Director's Weekly/2014) and ‘Parasite' (Competition Division/2019).

"Sleep" is a movie about two people struggling to solve the secrets of the husband Hyun-soo's abnormal behavior during sleep and the terrible horror that begins when they fall asleep, who hit happy newlyweds Hyun-soo (Lee Sun-kyun) and Soo-jin (Jung Yu-mi) like a nightmare.

"Escape: Project Silence" signals the birth of a new disaster film based on a realistic setting in which everyday space is turned into an uncontrollable scene. Lee Sunkyun plays Cha Jung-won, who faces a disaster situation with his daughter in the middle of the bridge.

Having tried his first disaster movie since his debut, he is expected to make an acting transformation with a breathtaking struggle on the airport bridge just before the collapse.

He said, "It is so meaningful and honourable to present the work that all the staff and actors filmed with passion in the cold winter and are now heading to the Cannes Film Festival. "I hope audiences around the world will enjoy our movie,” he said.

Lee Sun-kyun created an unprecedented character in "Killing Romance" by breaking down in the comedy genre and blending A-class acting skills with B-class sensibility. It drew attention as the next film chosen, he attended the 92nd U.S. Academy held in 2020 as "Parasite" (2019).

Killing Romance was a "broken egg" until it went viral, leading to a 76% increase in ratings. Lee Sun-kyun has created several "life characters" from Choi Hyunwook of MBC's "Pasta," who still had the charm of "Vongole Hana" 13 years later, to Park Donghoon of tvN's “My Mister,"

who is remembered as a "good adult," and has received global attention for "Parasite" (2019). However, Lee Sun-kyun chose to work without locking himself in the images and acting he obtained from his previous works, and always left meaningful results in the film industry.

He met with "The Fact" at the time of the release of "Killing Romance," said, "There is no desire to maintain it just because it was loved a lot as a character. If you play another character, it's covered again, but the record remains. "I always want to change." he said.

In addition, as "script" was selected as the most important thing when choosing a work, it is natural that expectations and interest in "sleep" and "escape" are high on what kind of unique acting transformation will captivate audiences around the world by presenting

two different works in the same place. Sleep and Escape will be unveiled for the first time around the world at the 76th Cannes International Film Festival, which will be held in Cannes, France, from the 16th to the 27th, and will meet with domestic audiences this year.
