While actress Shin Min-ah portrayed dual roles, she remarked that it was fun to see two versions of herself in a single frame.

On the afternoon of the 15th, the press screening for the film "Pupil" (directed by Yeom Ji-ho) was held at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall. Following the screening, the press conference was attended by actors Shin Min-ah and Kim Nam-hee, and director Yeom Ji-ho.

The film "Pupil" is a suspense thriller in which Seo-jin, who is gradually losing her sight due to a genetic disease, investigates the mystery surrounding the death of her twin sister and confronts the truth.

In "Pupil," Shin Min-ah took on the challenge of dual roles, playing Seo-jin, a photographer who is gradually losing her sight due to a genetic disease and investigates 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.

Shin Min-ah said, "In the film, Seo-jin feels fear as she loses her sight. I focused on acting to express that fear well. I also concentrated on making the relationship with Seo-in, who is the closest yet has complex emotions, relatable."

Shin Min-ah delivered a passionate performance without holding back while portraying a character with visual impairment. She explained, "As the film progressed to the latter half, Seo-jin was filmed with bandages wrapped around her head after undergoing surgery. Since I actually couldn't see, my hearing became surprisingly sensitive even to the smallest sounds. There was fear arising from that. Even though I knew my position and movements beforehand and closed my eyes, I actually experienced the sensation that my position seemed to change due to hearing or fear. I acted while thinking that Seo-jin must have been very scared and it must have been difficult."

Shin Min-ah, who portrayed dual roles, added, "Although it is a dual role of twins, I considered the two characters as completely different people and acted accordingly. Seo-jin and Seo-in are twins, but they are different from each other in personality and what they pursue. It was amazing to see two Shin Min-ahs in one frame. While it was amazing, it was also fun because I set them up as different characters."

Meanwhile, "Pupil" will be released on June 24.
