'Actor Shin Min-a revealed that she constantly practiced to portray the role of a character with poor eyesight in 'Pupil.'

'On the morning of the 26th, a production report conference for the film 'Pupil' (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 'Pupil' is a suspense thriller about Seo-jin, who is gradually losing her sight due to a genetic disease, as she investigates the suspicions surrounding the death of her twin sister and confronts the truth.

'In 'Pupil,' Shin Min-a took on the dual role of Seo-jin, a photographer who gradually loses her sight due to a genetic disease while investigating the death of her twin sister, and Seo-in, Seo-jin's twin sister who overcame visual impairment to succeed as a potter but met a mysterious death. This marked her first time taking on two roles in a single film on the big screen.

'Shin Min-a said, "After reading the script, I thought it would be a thriller with very diverse emotions. Since it was a dual role and I was losing my sight while investigating my sister's death, there was fear involved. The fear of being chased felt interesting, and I wanted to challenge myself out of curiosity."

'To prepare for the character in this work, Shin Min-a practiced the position of her pupils and challenged herself with eye acting. She revealed, "I practiced a lot. I practiced so much that I wondered if my eyes would stay in this position forever. Since the eyes are muscles, I even got headaches."

'Shin Min-a added, "Acting as if I couldn't see made my hearing more sensitive. I had a personal desire to do a bit better, but since I did my best, I hope it comes out well in the film."

'Meanwhile, 'Pupil' is scheduled to be released on the 24th of next month.
