Korea's Cannes award-winning actress Jeon Do-youn will receive a prestigious cultural honor from France during the ongoing Pusan International Film Festival, the French Embassy in Seoul said Friday, according to Yonhap News.
Jeon, who was named best actress by the Cannes International Film Awards in 2007 for her role in "Secret Sunshine," will receive the medal from the French government for her "superb acting" in an array of films and her win in the French film fest, the embassy said.
Jeon will receive the Chevalier des Arts et Lettres medal during "French Night," an event scheduled for Saturday and prepared as part of the ongoing South Korean film festival that opened in this southeastern port city on Thursday.
