Jeon to Appear on CNN Program

Actress Jeon Do-yeon

Actress Jeon Do-yeon, who won the award for Best Actress at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, will appear on the CNN program ``Talk Asia’’, Yonhap News said Wednesday.

Jeon, 34, was honored at the Cannes Film Festival in May for her moving role in ``Secret Sunshine,” directed by Lee Chang-dong.

``Jeon was interviewed by Anjali Rao, host of `Talk Asia’ who visited Seoul Monday,’’ her agency, Sidus HQ, said Tuesday, according to Yonhap. The date the interview will be aired has not yet been set.

Jeon and Rao held the interview for nearly two hours, strolling through the cultural neighborhood of Daehangno in eastern Seoul, talking about her life and her filmography.

Jeon, since winning the Cannes honor, has received worldwide acclaim. She was voted one of the 50 most influential women in the world by U.S. magazine Variety. Korean superstars Rain and BoA have so far appeared on ``Talk Asia.”
