I promised I would definitely come next time, but I couldn't. went again this time. It was disappointing. I have a lot of regrets about why I always shoot American films at that time," he later said.
Although unable to attend, Bae Doona was not discouraged. He also feels happy and lucky because his project partner in "Broker" namely Song Kang Ho" came out as the winner of Best Actor awarded by the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. (wk/taki)
