acting is something mirae has been passionate about since before sheâd made her acting debut back in 2012, but when her friends talk about favoring it over life as an idol, she canât relate. being an idol and being and actress are two sides of the coin for mirae, and the two things she wants to keep doing for the rest of her career.
âyou donât have to know. youâre still young. when i was your age, i was only picking up a role every two years or slow.â sure, she might have missed out on roles because of it, but sheâs happy she took it slow and gave herself time to take lessons and have life experience and grow between each project. now that sheâs older, she feels more prepared for taking on roles in quicker succession.
âthereâs no such thing as the perfect role, so donât stress too hard about that. when the role comes to you that you need to fight for, then thatâs the one you fight for. if you have to stop and consider whether itâs worth fighting for, itâs not the one.â mirae looks at nari inquisitively, wondering if sheâs helping at all.
âiâm under an nda, but iâll test its limits for you,â mirae jokes. âitâs an anthology series, actually. four episodes with four different directors and four different stories, and i get to play the lead in each one. the kind of thing that only really works on netflix, but i guess thatâs why i wanted it so badly. itâs different.â
âwhen you were my age? are you that much older than me?â rina couldnât help but let out a small chuckle, mirae didnât seem that much older than her but what she did she really know? but waiting every few years, it wasnât something rina was sure she had in her. she spent too much time as an idol and now she needed to take whichever roles she could get. itâd be harder once she was a bit older.Â
rina understood what mirae was saying, it just didnât feel that way when it came to the company, she had to find the perfect role for them to support. âonce again good advice.â because it was when she applied it to just herself and only herself. âhopefully, iâll be able to keep it with me for future projects.â whenever that one came.Â
rina perked up a bit, her eyes going wide. âthat does sound different and fun.â maybe, sheâd get to try something like that one day. even as a supporting character, she just wanted to act in as many things as she could. âwhen does it air, iâll make sure i wonât miss an episode, do you know any your co-stars already? no need to tell me who.âÂ
