Actor Jang Dong-gun, who is currently visiting the Cannes International Film Festival, has entered the global spotlight for his role in the movie The Promise by director Chen Kaige. Jang was the center of attention at the movie's gala, which was held in France on May 14 and attended by celebrities and journalists from all over the world.
Reporters from Japan, Taiwan, China and other Asian countries flocked to the entrance of the gala venue and showed more interest in Jang than in other famous stars such as Sadana Hiroyuki and Cecilia Cheung, according to a person who was present at the time. Jang's popularity can be ascribed to the generous praise and trust given to him by his fellow actors and the director of The Promise, as well as the popularity of the movie "Taegeugki", which opened in France on May 11.
When introducing the cast of The Promise at the party, Chen called Jang his "brother", displaying a special affection for the actor.
At this year's Cannes festival, Jang, already widely recognized in Asia, has displayed the strong potential to become a globally-renowned actor.
