K-pop idols moonlighting as actors is nothing new, but TWICE’s Dahyun just landed a role that has fans genuinely excited. She’s set to headline a youth romance film — and the director’s resume alone is enough to raise expectations.

On September 22, Ilgan Sports reported that Dahyun and rising actor Cha Woo Min have been cast as the leads of “Clouds Roll Like Gureumi” (literal title) and have already completed their script reading. The film’s production company, npio Entertainment, confirmed the casting directly, putting any early rumors to rest.
The story follows two college students who constantly clash before slowly becoming each other’s safe place — a classic bicker-to-love arc, but with a fresh setting. Dahyun plays Oh Gu Reum, an art major with a sharp tongue for anyone who crosses her, while Cha Woo Min plays Kim Jun San, a physical education student who specializes in swimming.

| Film Title | Clouds Roll Like Gureumi (literal) |

What makes this casting news land extra hard is the director attached. Choi Sun Min co-directed King the Land, one of the more beloved JTBC rom-coms in recent memory, along with Miss Night and Day and Surely Tomorrow. If the chemistry-building instincts from that show carry over here, this isn’t just another idol side-project — it could be a genuinely well-crafted film.
For TWICE, this also continues a broader trend: multiple members have branched into acting and solo ventures outside the group’s main promotions, and Dahyun taking on a lead film role signals real confidence in her range beyond music.
Fans hungry for more K-pop crossover moments — from acting gigs to live events — might also want to check out how K-pop culture is expanding in India, where festivals are bringing idols to Indian stages for the first time.
No release date has been announced yet, but with the script reading already done, an official trailer or teaser likely isn’t far behind.
