Kim Min-ha‘s Voice Debut in Netflix’s 'Back in Seoul': What to Expect from This Unique Role?

[TV Daily Reporter Choi Hana] Actress Kim Min-ha is amplifying her international profile by providing the Korean dub for the Netflix film 'Back in Seoul.'

Opening on the 12th, 'Back in Seoul' centers on Shenba, a woman who once led a comfortable life in India and suddenly finds herself alone in the heart of Seoul. Stranded in an unfamiliar city, she gradually uncovers who she truly is. Kim Min-ha voices Shenba in the Korean-language version, bringing a lively tonal quality and finely tuned emotional detail that promise to deepen the character's arc as she navigates and grows in a foreign landscape.

The project holds special significance for Kim: she has long expressed admiration for voice actors and harbored a desire to try dubbing. This marks her first dubbing role since her debut. Known for her strong vocal projection and clear diction on screen, she now offers a new facet of her craft through voice performance, drawing attention from audiences and industry observers alike.

Kim Min-ha said, \"I've always wanted to try dubbing, and I'm honored to lend my voice to such a wonderful project. Conveying a character using only my voice felt unfamiliar at first, but it's a challenge I've wanted to take on for a long time. The experience was both enjoyable and meaningful. I hope everyone looks forward to it.\" Her comments conveyed genuine affection for the work.

Kim's range has been on display across genres, from 'Pachinko' (Seasons 1 and 2) to 'The Lighting Shop,' 'A Week Before I Die,' and 'Typhoon Co.' She now has a string of upcoming projects that have fans buzzing — from the Netflix series 'Kkul Alba' to the Netflix films 'Byeoljit' and 'Back in Seoul.'

'Back in Seoul,' featuring Kim Min-ha, premieres exclusively on Netflix on the 12th.
