Book Introduction

A cherished book for those who love actors.
A must-read for aspiring actors.
A textbook for those who explore the craft of acting.

The Next Actor project — jointly planned by the Muju Mountain Village Film Festival and the Baek Eun-ha Actor Research Institute — has long spotlighted performers set to shape the future of Korean cinema, including Park Jung-min, Go Ah-sung, Ahn Jae-hong, Jeon Yeo-bin, Byun Yo-han, Go Min-si, and Choi Hyun-wook. For its eighth installment, the project turns its lens on actress Lee Hye-ri.

This edition carries particular significance as it marks the first time the project has featured a rising idol-turned-actress. Having made a dazzling debut as a member of the second-generation K-POP girl group Girls' Day and forged her identity at the forefront of the popular culture industry, Lee Hye-ri has carved out an irreplaceable space for herself across both film and television.

Her journey spans a remarkable range of roles: the universally beloved Sung Deok-sun in Reply 1988; Min-ji in Pansori Boxer, where she channeled the raw, unfiltered energy of independent cinema into vivid cinematic texture; the warmly principled Lee Seon-sim in Miss Lee's Electronics; the explosively youthful Chu Pil-sun in Victory; and the boldly transformed Yoo Je-i in Fair Competition.

Behind the glamour of stardom lies a performer of quiet intensity and relentless dedication. This book documents the struggles, sweat, and deeply considered craft of Lee Hye-ri — a steadfast acting laborer working beneath the glittering surface.
