Korean Star Suzy Reintroduces Herself in Darker Role
South Korean icon Suzy is once again stepping into the limelight, transitioning from her celebrated music career to a compelling acting role. Known as the “Nation’s First Love, ”Suzy initially gained fame as a member of K-pop girl group Miss A, and she has continued to build her legacy within the entertainment industry. Her upcoming project, titled Delusion, set to debut on Disney+ in 2026, promises to showcase a different side of her artistry.
Synopsis of Delusion
Delusion is a mystery thriller set in the atmospheric backdrop of 1935 Gyeongseong, now known as Seoul. The narrative centers around Yun Yi-ho (played by Kim Seon-ho), a struggling artist who is commissioned to paint Song Jeong-hwa (Suzy), the mysterious owner of the Nammoon Hotel. However, Jeong-hwa harbors a dark secret—she is a vampire with a melancholic past and a series of missing artists linked to her. As Yi-ho delves into her history, he uncovers the unsettling nature of her immortality and the curse entwined with her captivating beauty.
Suzy’s Transformation
Cast in a role that sharply contrasts with her previously established girl-next-door image, Suzy’s venture into this darker character marks a significant evolution in her career. Fans have praised her transition into acting since the disbandment of Miss A, particularly admiring her performances in dramas like While You Were Sleeping and Anna. In Delusion, however, she takes on a more audacious transformation—a once-popular singer embodies a gothic vampire with a compelling backstory, showcasing her versatility as an actress.
