Becoming a K-pop star may seem like a glamorous dream, but in the upcoming psychological thriller Perfect Girl, it turns into a nightmare as a group of aspiring K-pop artists are targeted and attacked one by one. Starring talented actresses Arden Cho and Adeline Rudolph, this new film is one we can’t wait to see. Here’s everything we know about it so far.
Originally titled Unnie, Perfect Girl is backed by the independent genre label Badlands. The thriller is set to be directed by Hong Won-ki (Urban Myths, Goedam) from a screenplay written by Lynn Q. Yu. In addition, Sunshine and Moonshine will be crafting the soundtrack. Sunshine is behind many hits from the popular K-pop boy group BTS, while Moonshine has produced songs for K-pop girl groups such as Red Velvet, Twice, etc.
Perfect Girl is being described as a mix of the iconic slasher Scream and the psychological horror Black Swan. Set in the high-stakes world of K-pop, the story follows a group of girls vying for a spot in a K-pop supergroup after years of intense training. With there only being four spots available, the competition is fierce, and the pressure is overwhelming. But competing will be the least of their concerns when a mysterious contestant enters the competition at the last minute and begins targeting each of them, one by one.
While it's been confirmed that Arden Cho and Adeline Rudolph have signed on to star in the film, their roles are unknown. You might recognize Cho from her previous role as Kira Yukimura in the supernatural teen drama Teen Wolf. She also had roles in the Netflix shows Partner Track and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Rudolph, on the other hand, is known for previously starring as Agatha in the supernatural horror series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Some of her other acting gigs include roles in the TV shows Riverdale and Resident Evil.
As of now, Cho and Rudolph are the only actors who have been cast so far. Now that two main leads have been secured, we can expect more casting announcements soon. Don't worry. You can count on us to share them as they are revealed.
