If you didn’t know, she’s confirmed to make her debut in acting for the first time since becoming an idol.
‘Night of the Ground’ is a film adaptation based on the short story “Night on Earth” by celebrated author Lim Sunwoo. The project quickly gained industry attention after it won the prestigious BH Entertainment Award at the 26th Jeonju International Film Festival’s “Jeonju Cinema Project: Next Edition” program in 2025.
Set in a chaotic society struggling with the emergence of mutant jellyfish, ‘Night of the Ground’ tells the story of Soo, who finds himself at an illegal clinic called ‘Manbok Pension.’ There, he encounters a diverse group of individuals, and through these interactions, he begins to break free from his self-imposed isolation. The film delves into themes of solidarity and the rediscovery of life’s beauty amidst turmoil. With post-production underway, the team is now aiming for invitations to major domestic and international film festivals, with a theatrical release to follow.
Firstly, it came out of nowhere so made maximum impact and the announcement has gone viral. But her fans have been anticipating it since last year as she’s been followed by 30+ people in the acting industry and has become close with so many actors through premiers she was invited to by directors and her actress friends. It’s been speculated that her role was confirmed last year since she’s been seen with jellyfish keychains and cakes for a while lol
Kim SiA (a 17 year old actress who’s also in the film) suddenly posted a photo of Ryujin’s new cat on her instagram out of nowhere
Anyway, Knetz think this was a smart move because it’s an indie film so she’ll gain traction as an actress for her skill first and has already been labelled as a ‘Chungmuro’ actor by the media.
Also, her first role happens to be a lead role and she’ll get to show her skills in a dystopian concept with enough screentime to do so.
It also happened to be announced while she’s been regaining a lot of hype around itzy’s next comeback, game caterers and also other things (especially on twitter, it’s been crazy recently)
I hope many people tune into the film, i’m so excited 😭
