"You're not just writing about Mr. Kim Woo-bin, are you? Haha." Shin Min-a, appearing in her first interview since her marriage, made a charming remark.

Shin Min-a has taken on a thriller once again. Ahead of the release of the film "Pupil" (directed by Yeom Ji-ho), Shin Min-a held an interview at a café in Samcheong-dong, opening up about the work and her personal life.

"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 and investigates the death of her twin sister, and Seo-in, Seo-jin's twin sister who overcomes visual impairment to succeed as a potter but meets a mysterious death.

In this work, Shin Min-a ran and rolled around while blind, directly showing the hardships. Her struggles were fully captured in the film. Shin Min-a said, "To be honest, it was really too hard. My body was in such pain. Since there were almost no scenes that didn't appear, there was also the burden of having to maintain a state of tension, and I used my body a lot, so it was very hard, but I still tried my best to stay focused until the end."

Earlier, Shin Min-a also took on the difficult challenge of filming while playing 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 every moment of my effort was captured, so I thought my hard work wasn't in vain." When asked if she is the type who seeks out hardships, she smiled and said, "When I read the script, I think, 'How are they going to shoot this scene?' There were scenes where I had to be wrapped in bandages, so it looked difficult, but I had many more thoughts about wanting to do the work, and my desire was even greater." She added with a complaint, "I also had a hard time during the filming of 'Evil Connection.' I think I'm an addict to hardship, an addict to suffering," while sharing a laugh.

Shin Min-a has now become a senior figure on set. Shin Min-a, who was a senior to Kim Nam-hee, with whom she appeared, revealed that she felt a sense of responsibility on set. Shin Min-a said, "Even if I do the same thing, my words can be received differently. I think I need to speak carefully. When I was younger, my opinions were just taken as opinions, but now I wonder if even expressing such opinions might feel a bit burdensome." She continued, "It's the same with jokes. Recently, I've felt that the atmosphere suddenly becomes strange when I tell something I intended to be funny. In this work, I also joked, 'Why aren't they giving us food like this?' and they seriously replied, 'We are so sorry.' I said it to be funny, but there were moments like that. Later, after becoming close, they told me that when I spoke like that, it was too scary. I realized that I need to think more about jokes now, that the time has come when jokes don't work anymore."

"Pupil" is the first work Shin Min-a has publicly released since her marriage. Shin Min-a smiled and said, "People say it's my first work after marriage, but I filmed this work before my marriage, so it doesn't feel that way to me."

At the VIP screening of "Pupil" held on the 15th, her husband Kim Woo-bin attended in person to offer support, drawing attention. Shin Min-a began by saying, "Mr. Kim Woo-bin," and then laughed, "It's awkward." Shin Min-a stated, "He came even though he was busy, and I was really grateful and felt reassured." When asked if she personally invited Kim Woo-bin, she said, "I told him, 'You have to come. You must.'" She added, "Mr. 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 Kim Woo-bin taking photos of Shin Min-a and posting them on SNS was something she requested, Shin Min-a joked, "No, I'm not that kind of coercive woman."

Shin Min-a said, "He said he watched it with fun. He knows that 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, I've been busy, so I also saw (Kim Woo-bin) for the first time in a while," and added with a laugh, "Isn't it just all about Mr. Kim Woo-bin?"

When asked if she discusses her next work directly with her husband Kim Woo-bin when choosing a project after marriage, Shin Min-a said, "I think we each think about it separately. I have already decided on my next work in advance. There are also romances, so..." She added, "I don't think we consult each other; I think we each think about it separately."

When asked if her attitude toward works has changed after marriage, Shin Min-a said, "There hasn't been a big change in my mindset. From the time I first started this job, I had a strong desire to do many diverse works. Even after marriage, regardless of marriage, I still want to do many works. I hope that as these accumulate, they will be reflected in my acting." He said, "I haven't changed since getting married. I work the same, but I think something around me must have changed. The gaze of reporters who look at me, and the gaze of the audience, must have changed as well." He added, "I hope that when I express these things through my acting, even unconsciously, it will be helpful."

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