K-pop Star YoonA Allegedly Targeted by Racist Behavior at Cannes, Festival Faces Backlash

Cannes 2024: Cannes security guards are under extreme scrutiny for allegedly disrespecting K-pop idol YoonA on the red carpet. Many online critics accuse a female guard of displaying racist behaviour by singling out YoonA and obstructing her interactions with the cameras. Netizens claim that the security guard has a “real problem” with preventing “women of colour from posing on the stairs.”

One user commented, “Kelly Rowland, Massiel Taveras, Yoona – There’s a pattern here. @Festival_Cannes should terminate her.” Another unhappy netizen noted, “Kelly Rowland, Lim YoonA, and Massiel Taveras all faced issues with this guard… YoonA was clearly upset with her behaviour, which is so rare to see. @Festival_Cannes, you know what you have to do.” A third comment read, “Discovering that the racist security guard at Cannes did the same to YoonA on the red carpet? Why is she still employed after the Kelly Rowland incident?”
