TWICE's Dahyun Admits Agency Helped Her Star in 'You Are the Apple of My Eye'

TWICE's Dahyun recently had an interview with Dispatch about her debut as an actress. After 11 years as a singer, the idol took on a new challenge by starring in the film "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

 While other TWICE members Nayeon, Jihyo, and Tzuyu have branched out into solo music careers, Dahyun was the first in the group to turn to acting. She landed her first role through her own determination and passion. 

Dahyun's acting debut began with a leading role in the Korean version of the popular Taiwanese film, "You Are the Apple of My Eye". Although, the idol felt pressure and anxiety, her desire to act remained strong. Dahyun said, "While promoting with TWICE, I practiced acting whenever I could. 

When I was given this opportunity, I immediately accepted it with gratitude. The pressure is very big, but I want to face it with enthusiasm." For many, Dahyun’s acting debut may come as a surprise. The idol has never openly talked about her aspirations to act before. 

However, she revealed that acting has been her dream even before she became a singer. She explained, "I was chosen as a trainee and nurtured my dream of becoming a singer after that. But before that, I had a stronger desire to act. 

When I was in elementary school, I watched movies at the cinema and dreamed about acting." She recalled, "I often found comfort in movies and dramas. There's something special about how energy can be conveyed through the screen. 

I also want to become an actress who can give good energy and comfort to others." When TWICE's individual activities began, Dahyun admitted that she immediately contacted her agency about acting. 

She confessed, "I wanted to act, but I didn't know where to start. So, the agency helped me find projects." The acting project that Dahyun got with the help of her agency was "You Are the Apple of My Eye". 

Despite being at the peak of her career as a singer, Dahyun had no previous acting experience, so this was a bold leap. According to the production team, they were looking for a fresh new face for the role of Seon Ah. 

They explained, "We were looking for new faces, someone new that the audience had not seen before. When we found out that Dahyun was interested in acting and had worked on independent films, we decided to meet with her." 

Dahyun, a longtime fan of the original film, said, “I’m excited to explore how I can bring my own color to the character of Seon Ah. I know how precious this opportunity is, so I’m very grateful.”
