Today, Denis Villeneuve and the four main actors will attend the first official event, a press conference.
On the evening of the 22nd, a red carpet event where fans can meet the cast will be held at the Atrium Plaza on the first floor of Times Square in Yeongdeungpo. The director and actors will spend unforgettable moments with their precious Korean fans who eagerly await the release of Dune: Part 2. After the red carpet, they will hold a meaningful time meeting audiences who watch the movie in advance through a stage greeting at CGV Yeongdeungpo. Additionally, Chalamet is positively considering appearing on the tvN variety show You Quiz on the Block, hosted by the nation's MC Yoo Jae-suk.
