A growing number of K-pop idols are taking up the challenge of appearing on the silver screen, but their transitions are having to weather harsh evaluations.
Red Velvet leader Irene s film debut in Double Patty, which hit theaters Feb. 17, drew criticism for her unnatural acting. The feature attracted 4,450 people over the Friday-Sunday period, raising its total admissions to 11,268, according to box office data from the Korean Film Council.
But the star, who previously had a lead role in the 2016 web drama Game Development Girls, reacted humbly, saying she learned a lot from her first movie role.
