ITZY’s Ryujin is continuing her transition into acting with a new film project. According to an exclusive report by News1 on January 21, Ryujin has been cast in the upcoming movie Myeondo (directed by Kim Jung-hoon), marking her latest step in expanding her career beyond music.
Myeondo is directed by Kim Jung-hoon, who received critical praise for his 2014 film Wild Dogs. This marks his first feature film in 12 years, raising anticipation among film fans and industry insiders alike.
Building Momentum as an Actress
Ryujin recently completed filming her first acting project, Night on Earth, which is currently awaiting release. With Myeondo confirmed shortly after, she is quickly establishing herself as an emerging actress through consecutive film projects.

From K-pop Star to Screen Talent
Since debuting with ITZY in 2019, Ryujin has built a strong reputation as a performer. Now, she is carefully shaping a parallel career in acting by selecting projects that allow her to gain experience and explore new expressions on screen.
Her participation in both Night on Earth and Myeondo highlights her growing presence in the film industry and signals long-term commitment to acting.
Filming Underway, Details Still Under Wraps

A New Chapter for Ryujin
