• Shin Min-a interview on the film "Pupil"

Actress Shin Min-a has become more at ease and cheerful. In her first interview since marrying Kim Woo-bin, Shin Min-a answered questions about her husband with a slightly shy demeanor, smiling brightly. It was clear she felt both loved and loving.

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

"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 takes on the dual role of Seo-jin, a photographer who loses her sight gradually 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 meets a mysterious death.

"Pupil" is the first work Shin Min-a has released since her marriage and drew attention even before its release. Notably, her husband Kim Woo-bin attended the VIP screening held on the 15th personally, offering his support and becoming a topic of discussion. Shin Min-a stated, "Since I filmed this work before my marriage, the idea of it being my 'first work after marriage' doesn't feel that significant to me," and added, "Kim Woo-bin was busy but came anyway, and I was so grateful and felt so reassured."

When asked if she personally invited Kim Woo-bin, Shin Min-a laughed and said, "He had to come. I told him he absolutely must." She then added, "(Kim Woo-bin) was filming, so he came in the middle of filming, watched the movie, and then went back to filming. He couldn't stay for the after-party and just left." When asked if she had requested that Kim Woo-bin take her photo and post it on social media, Shin Min-a jokingly replied, "No, I'm not that kind of coercive woman."

Shin Min-a said, "(Kim Woo-bin) said he enjoyed it. He knows this was a work where I worked hard and worried a lot. He briefly said, 'I think you don't need to worry,' and then went back to filming. These days, we've both been so busy, so I haven't seen (Kim Woo-bin) in a long time," and then jokingly asked, "It's not like all the questions are only about Kim Woo-bin, right?" eliciting laughter.

When asked if she discusses her next work directly with her husband Kim Woo-bin after getting married, Shin Min-a replied, "I think we each have our own thoughts. I have already decided on my next work in advance. There will be a romance film, so..." She then laughed and said, "I don't think we consult each other; we each have our own thoughts."

When asked if her attitude toward work has changed since getting married, Shin Min-a responded, "There hasn't been a big change in my mindset. From the very beginning when I started this job, I had a strong desire to do many diverse works. Even after marriage, regardless of my marriage, I still want to do many works. I hope that as these experiences accumulate, they will be reflected in my acting."

Shin Min-a said, "I haven't changed since getting married. I work the same as before, but I think something around me must have changed. The gaze of reporters and the gaze of audiences must have changed as well." She added, "I hope that if these things help me, even subconsciously, when I express myself through acting."

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