TWICE’s Jeongyeon is set to make her acting debut!

On July 22 KST, it was reported that Jeongyeon has been cast in The Recruit: The Movie, a spin-off of the popular military drama The Recruit. She’ll take on the role of an army nurse officer — her first acting role nearly a decade after debuting as a K-pop idol.

While the original series explored life within a military unit, the film will shift focus to a military hospital. The script is in its final stages, with filming slated to begin later this year. Jeongyeon is currently adjusting her schedule in preparation.
