Arin of K-pop girl group Oh My Girl is set to walk the pink carpet at the upcoming Cannes International Series Festival.

The drama “S Line,” starring Arin, has been officially invited to compete in the long-form competition at the Cannes International Series Festival, which will be held from April 24 to 29. As the lead actress, Arin will attend the event and appear on the festival’s signature pink carpet.

Based on a popular webtoon of the same name, S Line tells the story of a mysterious red line — known as the "S line" — that connects individuals who have had sexual relationships, appearing above their heads regardless of time or place. The show explores the ripple effects of this phenomenon on their lives.

In the drama, Arin plays Hyeonheup, a high school student who has been able to see S-lines since birth. The role marks a dramatic shift from her previous work, as she takes on a darker and more emotionally complex character, raising expectations for a striking transformation in her acting.

Arin has been steadily building her acting résumé through roles in dramas such as “Alchemy of Souls,” “Opening 2023 – Summer,” “Love Machine Blues,” and “My Girlfriend is a Tough Guy,” as well as the film “Mad Dance Office.” With “S Line,” she is expected to solidify her position as a rising actress.

“It is such an honor and an overwhelming feeling to have our drama ‘S Line,’ which is a precious work created by the director, senior actors, cast and crew, invited to such a meaningful event. I hope this year brings many good things for our project, starting with the Cannes International Series Festival. Thank you so much,” Arin said.

“S Line,” which has garnered attention following its Cannes invitation, will compete with other global entries in the long-form competition at the festival’s closing ceremony on April 29 (local time). The drama is scheduled for domestic release later this year.
