‘The Eye: The Gaze’ Shin Min-a Transforms into Twin Sisters in One Role—1 Person, 2 Characters! A Meticulous Performance of the Eyeballs!

The film ‘The Eye: The Gaze’ is a suspense thriller in which Seo-jin, who is slowly losing her vision due to a genetic disease, investigates the suspicions surrounding the death of her twin sister and eventually faces the truth.

Through a wide range of works—including the Netflix series ‘A Bloody Lucky Day,’ the drama ‘Do Not Want to Take a Loss,’ ‘Our Blues,’ ‘Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha,’ ‘The Third Charm’—as well as the films ‘3 Days of Vacation,’ ‘Diva,’ and ‘My Love, My Bride’—Shin Min-a has proven her broad acting spectrum and unmistakable presence. Crossing genres with subtle emotional performances and strong character absorption in every project, Shin Min-a has won praise from both the public and critics alike. With ‘The Eye: The Gaze,’ she is set to show a new side once again.

In the film ‘The Eye: The Gaze,’ Shin Min-a takes on the roles of Seo-jin, a photojournalist who was losing her eyesight due to a genetic disease while investigating the death of her twin sister, and Seo-in, the twin sister who overcame visual impairment to become a successful potter, only to meet a mysterious death. The performance challenges the highly talked-about debut of a first-screen 1 person, 2 characters. First, Seo-jin is a character who doubts her twin sister’s death and sets out to find the truth herself, relentlessly chasing the culprit even as her vision grows increasingly blurred—driving the tension. Meanwhile, Seo-in is a person who lives within her own world, actively working as a potter despite not being able to see. Through her mysterious death, she becomes the starting point of the case. Shin Min-a delicately expresses two people who share the same face but have completely different atmospheres and emotional arcs, heightening the film’s immersion to the fullest.

In particular, Shin Min-a completed an overwhelming level of immersion with perfect eye acting, realistically capturing psychological terror and confusion in a tense situation where she has to solve the case before losing her eyesight. In addition, as the threat draws nearer, she meticulously portrayed emotions that grow increasingly unsteady and the ultimate tension—allowing viewers to experience an even more suffocating suspense together. In this way, Shin Min-a, who unveiled a new transformation through her first-ever 1 person, 2 characters on screen and dense emotional acting, is expected to once again create her own signature thriller work with ‘The Eye: The Gaze,’ cementing her status as the Thriller Queen.

The suspense thriller ‘The Eye: The Gaze,’ which previews Shin Min-a’s new acting transformation, is scheduled to be released on June 24.
