'Actor Kim Nam-hee delivered a bold performance in the film. Kim Nam-hee said, "I also watched the film for the first time today, and I still cannot shake off the mental shock."

'On the afternoon of the 15th, a press distribution screening of the film 'Pupil' (directed by Yeom Ji-ho) was held at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall. Following the screening, a press conference was held, attended by actors Shin Min-a 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 suspicions surrounding the death of her twin sister and comes face to face with the truth.

'In 'Pupil', Shin Min-a took on the dual role of 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. Kim Nam-hee played Detective Do-hyuk, who helps Shin Min-a's character in the film.

'Kim Nam-hee said, "I had many concerns before taking on this work. It was to the extent that I considered quitting midway. The director explained the story well, so I gathered my courage again and approached the project. Since the character had a dual nature, I tried to act so that it wouldn't be obvious, but it was difficult."

'Kim Nam-hee said, "I also watched the film for the first time today. I couldn't visually adapt to it myself. It was baffling and grotesque. I'm not sure if it will have a good effect on the audience cinematically." She added, "That was not my intention; it was the result of a meeting between our costume and makeup teams and the director. I still haven't recovered from the mental shock of seeing myself. I don't know."

'Meanwhile, 'Pupil' is scheduled for release on June 24.
