Actress Shin Min-a took on another challenge by running and rolling through grueling scenes. Shin Min-a described herself as a "suffering addict."

Shin Min-a held an interview for the film 'Pupil' (directed by Yeom Ji-ho) at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, on the morning of the 16th, sharing various stories about the work.

The film 'Pupil' 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 '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.

In this work, Shin Min-a directly portrayed the physical hardship of running and rolling while blind, and her struggles were fully captured in the film.

Shin Min-a explained, "To be honest, it was really too hard. My body was in so much pain. There was also the burden of having to maintain a state of tension because there were almost no scenes that didn't require me to appear, and I used my body a lot, so it was very difficult, but I still tried my best to stay focused until the end."

Previously, Shin Min-a took on the challenge of difficult filming by portraying a diver in the film 'Diva'. She said, "With 'Diva', there was the burden of having to perform professional moves while dealing with psychological emotions, but this work was different. It felt like my efforts were captured in every moment, so I thought my suffering was not in vain."

When asked if she is the type who seeks out suffering, Shin Min-a smiled and said, "When I read the script, I do think, 'How are they going to shoot this scene?' There were scenes where I had to be bandaged, so it might have looked difficult, but I had many more thoughts about wanting to do the work, and my desire was even greater." She added, "I also suffered during the filming of 'Evil Connection'. I think I'm an addict, a suffering addict," complaining with a laugh.

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