TWICE's Sana is officially making her acting debut on the big screen, taking on her very first acting role 11 years after she first entered the entertainment industry as an idol.
On the 8th, Korean media outlet OSEN exclusively reported that Sana recently received an offer to star in the upcoming film 'Nyangi' (working title). Her agency, JYP Entertainment, immediately confirmed the news:
"Sana has confirmed her appearance in the new film 'Nyangi'."
'Nyangi' is a major Korea-Japan co-production, and Sana will star as the female lead alongside famous Japanese actor Takeru Satoh. It will be directed by Kwon Hyukchan and produced by Korean companies Cokes and NPIO, along with Japan's JACON. Filming is set to begin in Japan later this year, and the entire production crew will consist of Korean staff members.
For anyone unfamiliar with Takeru Satoh, he is best known for playing the lead role in the famous Rurouni Kenshin live-action movies and has a huge fanbase in Korea thanks to hit shows like Netflix's 'First Love' and the Japanese adaptation of 'Marry My Husband.' Because he is known as a master of romance, fans are incredibly excited to see his on-screen chemistry with Sana.
Meanwhile, Sana's shift into acting is a big step for the group. Since their debut in 2015, TWICE has kept all nine original members without any changes. Even after ten years together, they are still incredibly popular worldwide. Recently, the members have started expanding their personal careers alongside their group music activities, with Dahyun, Jeongyeon, and now Sana leading the way.
However, group activities are not stopping anytime soon. TWICE is currently in the middle of their 'THIS IS FOR' world tour, and they will be holding their final encore concerts from the 10th to the 12th at the KSPO Dome.
