Actress Shin Min-a took on dual roles and performed scenes depicting the gradual loss of vision in her pupils.

On the morning of the 26th, a production report conference for the film 'Pupils' (directed by Yeom Ji-ho) was held at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall. Actors Shin Min-a, Kim Nam-hee, Lee Seung-ryong, Kim Young-a, and director Yeom Ji-ho attended the event.

The film 'Pupils' is a suspense thriller in which Seo-jin, who is gradually losing her sight due to a genetic disease, uncovers suspicions surrounding the death of her twin sister and confronts the truth.

In 'Pupils', Shin Min-a takes on the dual role of Seo-jin, a photographer investigating the death of her twin sister while gradually losing her sight due to a genetic disease, and Seo-in, Seo-jin's twin sister who overcame visual impairment to succeed as a potter but met a mysterious death. This marks her first dual-role challenge on the big screen.

Shin Min-a said, "When I read the script, I thought it would become a thriller with very diverse emotions. Since it involves playing dual roles and losing my sight while investigating my sister's death, there was fear involved. The fear of being chased felt interesting, and out of curiosity, I wanted to take on the challenge."

Regarding the dual-role acting, Shin Min-a explained, "Seo-in and Seo-jin have the same face but different personalities. While both share the common trait of gradually losing their sight, Seo-jin feels inferiority toward Seo-in and is complex. I tried to express the subtle changes that occur when the younger sister disappears."

Continuing, Shin Min-a added, "While filming, I practiced acting with my pupils fixed to one side to portray the appearance of not being able to see. I tried to indirectly feel Seo-jin's frustration and fear. I worked hard to bring out those aspects and strived to convey authenticity."

Meanwhile, 'Pupils' is scheduled for release on the 24th of next month.
