It’s always exciting to see K-pop stars step into the Hollywood scene. Lionsgate recently revealed the characters appearing in the upcoming “John Wick” spin-off film, “Ballerina”. Amongst the high-profile cast was Girls’ Generation’s (소녀시대) Choi Sooyoung (최수영).

Earlier this morning (25th April 2025, Friday), Lionsgate dropped the character posters for the cast of the upcoming movie, “Ballerina”. The film is part of the “John Wick” cinematic universe, focusing on Eve Macarro, a ballerina-assassin trained at the Ruska Roma Ballet School. Actress Ana de Armas will play Eve, alongside actor Keanu Reeves, who will play the titular character John Wick.

However, the cast member who surprised K-pop fans was Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung. The idol-turned-actress will be playing the role of Katla Park in the upcoming blockbuster. According to a report by IGN, Katla is “the daughter of the Ruska Roma’s colleague Il Seong”. The report also highlights Katla’s connection to the main character, revealing that “Eve’s first field mission is to protect Katla Park at the lavish Minus Eleven club”.

This role marks Sooyoung’s Hollywood debut since starting her acting career in 2008. Apart from her career in the iconic K-pop girl group, Sooyoung has made a name for herself as an actress, starring in movies and dramas, such as “Miss and Mrs Cop” and “Not Others”. Since it’s still rare for Korean actors to transition into Hollywood films, this news excited many fans.

Most comments mention how proud they are of Sooyoung for making her Hollywood debut in a high-profile film. Others said they look forward to catching her on the big screen. Some noted they’re happy that the 35-year-old’s appearance in the movie is finally confirmed. In January, a photo of Sooyoung posing alongside the cast and crew of “Ballerina” was posted on social media, prompting rumours that the star will be in the movie.
