Photo Credit: MYSTIC STORYSIYOON, member of girl group Billlie, is making her Hollywood debut and first film appearance in Perfect Girl, a thriller film centered on the world of K-pop. Through this project, SIYOON will embark on a new journey as an actress in addition to her career as a singer.
Perfect Girl follows the desires, anxieties, and mysterious incidents that unfold among trainees who are going through intense competition to become K-pop stars. The screenplay was written by Lynn Q. Yu, whose work was listed on Hollywood’s 2023 Black List. Perfect Girl is directed by Hong Wonki of ZANYBROS, who also directed Zombie Hunter, Urban Myths, and The Cursed, and produced by Badlands and Thunder Roads Film.
SIYOON will be filming alongside Adeline Rudolph, who is also playing the role of Kitana in the upcoming Mortal Kombat II film set to release in 2026, as well as Arden Cho, known most recently for voicing Rumi, the main character in Netflix’s global hit animation KPop Demon Hunters. Along with these global actors, SIYOON will bring a detailed emotional expression and immersion she has demonstrated on stage as an artist and performer to her on-screen debut, by portraying the inner conflicts of a character caught between passion for music, anxiety, and unexpected events. Having previously collaborated with ZANYBROS on Billlie’s music videos for “GingaMingaYo (the strange world)” and “Patbingsu,” SIYOON’s participation in the film raises anticipation to bring strong creative synergy once again with director Hong.
This announcement follows SIYOON’s recent artist activities. In April, SIYOON formed Billlie’s first sub-unit with her bandmate, MOON SUA, and released their debut title track “SNAP (feat. sokodomo),” which entered the top ranks of iTunes K-pop charts in 10 countries. Recently, the unit collaborated on “WoW (Way of Winning) (with MOON SUA X SIYOON)” in the second single album by their junior group, ARrC, and showcased their expanded musical spectrum. Billlie also recently appeared on Apple TV+’s KPOPPED and performed with Patti LaBelle and Megan Thee Stallion in September, further expanding the group’s presence on the global stage.
