The movie, Hopeless (directed by Kim Chang Hoon) is a noir drama that depicts the story of a boy named 'Yeon Gyu' (played by Hong Xa Bin) who wants to escape from a hellish reality and gets involved with the middle boss of an organization, 'Chi Geon' (played by Song Joong Ki).

Hopeless will have its global premiere through an official screening at 11 a.m. (local time) on May 24th at Debussy Theatre, and on the same day at 9:30 p.m., a red carpet event will take place, followed by an official photocall at 11 a.m. on May 25th.

Director Kim Chang Hoon, Hong Xa Bin, Song Joong Ki, and BIBI are gathering attention as they appear at Cannes, attending the official screening, red carpet event, and official photocall to meet global film fans and shine at the festival.

Meanwhile, the released stills of Hopeless are capturing attention. The newly released stills portray the vulnerable appearances of Yeon Gyu, Chi Geon, and Ha Yan, leaving a strong impression.

The still featuring 'Yeon Gyu,' an 18-year-old boy with nowhere to rely on, riding a motorcycle, raises expectations for Hong Xa Bin's delicate acting, perfectly immersing himself in character from the trembling gaze to the expressions.

The still capturing the rough appearance of 'Chi Geon,' the middle boss of the organization, creates anticipation for Song Joong Ki's new transformative acting, combining a solid sensibility with an unprecedented portrayal.

In the still where 'Yeon Gyu' and 'Chi Geon' confront each other without flinching, a tense atmosphere flows, stimulating curiosity about the story unfolding when the two characters meet.

Lastly, the still that embodies the resilience of 'Ha Yan,' who doesn't back down even in a bleak reality, raises expectations for BIBI's mature performance, showcasing talent beyond that of a rookie actor.
