YoonA's Cannes Film Festival Incident Stirs Firestorm After Two More Celebrities Experience Similar Racist Treatment
South Korean superstar YoonA left the crowd in awe with her stunning visuals as she graced the Cannes Film Festival 2024.
Unfotunately, amid her show-stopping presence, the Girls' Generation singer had an uncomfortable experience with security. Due to this, fans are calling out the prestigious event for allegedly racist treatment towards the Korean star.
Furthermore, apart from YoonA, two other celebrities had a similar experience with the same lady guard.
To recall, the "King the Land" star graced the 77th Cannes Film Festival red carpet, wearing a Monique Lhuillier mauve pink floor length gown, showing off her flawless beauty.
But as she took the center stage and waved to the crowd for photos, she was interrupted by the security. She was asked to leave the stage, which prevented her from taking another pose.

What Happened at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival?
Other than the South Korean actress, two other celebrities also experienced the incident with the same female security guard.
Kelly Rowland and Dominican actress Massiel Taveras were also interrupted during their time on the famous Palais des Festivals staircase.
As for Massiel, she graced the famous red carpet, showing off a long train with a Christ photo.
However, she failed to show it off after the actress was caught in an intense riff with the same security guard after she stopped Massiel Taveras from moving and flaunting her long train for photographers.
Due to the similar incidents, fans are accusing the security guard of racism and having issues with "women of color from posing on the stairs."

At this rate, we need @EmmanuelMacron to make a statement, cuz YIKES. Not a good look for a FILM festival showing the French are still rude, pushy and targeting CERTAIN folks to move with purpose by PUSHING them, stepping on their clothes & laughing. pic.twitter.com/mtRPIq6BWF
