Following 'You Are the Apple of My Eye', Dahyun is set to continue her acting journey with upcoming projects. She has been cast as 'Ji-eun', a determined protagonist in the sports drama film 'Full Speed' (directed by Lee Seung-hoon), which tells the story of people chasing impossible dreams. She will star alongside Ha Seok-jin, who plays 'Goo-young', a sprinter at the peak of his career.

Recently, Dahyun confirmed her role in the new drama 'Love Me' (directed by Jo Young-min, written by Park Eun-young & Park Hee-kwon, produced by SLL & How Pictures).
