After 11 years as a singer, TWICEs Dahyun has taken on a new challenge.
She secured her first role through her own determination and passion.
Although she felt pressure and concern, her desire to act remained unwavering.
Dahyun said,“While promoting with TWICE, I practiced acting whenever I could.
When I was given this opportunity, I immediately accepted it with gratitude.
The pressure was immense, but I wanted to approach it with excitement.”
This marks her first solo challenge, and for many, her acting debut may come as a surprise.
Dahyun had never openly discussed her aspirations for acting before.
However, she revealed that acting had been a dream of hers even before becoming a singer.
But before that, I had an even stronger desire for acting.
When I was in elementary school, I would watch movies in theaters and dream about acting."
She recalled,“Ive often found comfort in movies and dramas.
There’s something special about how energy can be conveyed through the screen.
I also want to be an actress who can deliver good energy and comfort to others.”
When TWICEs individual activities began, she immediately approached her company about acting.
They explained,“We were looking for fresh facessomeone new that audiences hadnt seen before.
I knew how precious this opportunity was, so I was deeply grateful.”
Dahyun shared,“The excitement of a first experience was huge, but so were my worries.
I had many discussions with the director before filming.”
Dahyun explained her character and said,“Seon Ah is the eldest daughter.
She has a much younger brother.
Her mother runs a vegetable shop, and her father is a police officer.
Dahyun deeply immersed herself in Seon Ahs struggles, imagining them as her own.
She explained,“I first tried to put myself in Seon Ahs shoes.
She only cared about studying, yet she made a mistake that ruined her exam.
She was so lost that she couldnt even tell her family and ended up going to Jinwoo instead.
“Dahyun also added,“I also thought about it from my own perspective.
What if I made a single mistake that ruined a performance?
What if I got injured and couldnt go on stage?
It would feel like my world was collapsing.
For Seon Ah, her world was academics.
Imagining that situation made me break down in tears.”
Dahyun also expressed immense gratitude toward her co-star Jinyoung, who supported her throughout filming.
She recalled,“There were a lot of scenes where I acted with other actors.
But for one scene, I had to film a phone call by myself for the first time.
I was balancing filming with concert and album preparations, and I received so much support from everyone.”
My first acting set was filled with amazing people.
It felt like hanging out with friends from schoolit was such a happy experience.”
With 11 years of experience as a singer, Dahyun is just beginning her journey as an actress.
Her passion and excitement for this new path were evident as she spoke about the project.
There were moments when the pressure was overwhelming.
She explained the pressure was so great that she broke down in tears in the directors arms.
She explained,“I didnt show it, but I was really anxious.
The director noticed and just hugged me without saying a word.
I dont know why, but I started crying.
I was so desperate because I knew how precious this chance was.”
She revealed,“I’m currently working hard on filming.
The pressure is still there, but I want to enjoy the process.
There are so many roles I want to try.
My goal is to become an actress who can spread positive energy to others!”
