Disney+’s original series 'Light Shop' (directed by Kim Hee Won, written by Kang Full, and produced by Mr. Romance in collaboration with Moving Pictures) tells the captivating story of a light shop at the end of a dark alley, where mysterious customers with hidden secrets begin to appear.

Seolhyun takes on the role of Lee Ji Young, a suspicious customer who heightens the tension of the narrative. From her first appearance in the series, she delivers a commanding performance that draws viewers into the story, earning widespread praise for her transformation in this thriller genre.

Ji Young’s enigmatic character captivates attention as she sits on a bus stop bench every day, seemingly waiting for someone. When Kim Hyun Min (played by Um Tae Goo), a frequent last-bus passenger, asks why she’s there, Ji Young darkly replies, “I’m waiting,” her delivery chilling and impactful.

The tension rises as Hyun Min asks for her phone number, and Ji Young responds with a pointed question: “Don’t you know me?” Her unyielding gaze and the eerie calm with which she watches him walk away leave an unsettling impression. Rain or shine, Ji Young maintains her vigil at the bus stop. When Hyun Min offers her an umbrella, she cryptically remarks, “You said your house was nearby, right?” and follows him home.

Suspense builds when Hyun Min offers to carry her suitcase, but Ji Young firmly refuses, hinting at the secrets hidden within. Adding to the eerie atmosphere, motion-sensor lights inexplicably fail to detect her presence. Seolhyun’s nuanced expressions, penetrating glances, and chillingly deliberate delivery draw viewers deeper into her character’s mystery.

In episodes 2 and 3, Ji Young leaves Hyun Min’s house, dragging her suitcase into the light shop. Shop owner Jung Won-young (played by Joo Ji Hoon) cannot take his eyes off her as she examines the light bulbs around the shop, her actions sparking even more curiosity.

The suspense escalates further when blood drips from Ji Young’s suitcase, just as a detective (played by Bae Sung Woo) enters the scene. A tense confrontation ensues as the detective notices the blood. Ji Young tries to deflect suspicion with a calm voice and a feigned illness, her composure only deepening the mystery surrounding her.

Seolhyun’s transformation for 'Light Shop' is marked by a powerful opening scene where her presence as the mysterious customer leaves an indelible impression. Her precise expressions and haunting gaze bring new depth to her acting repertoire, creating a chilling atmosphere that has viewers on the edge of their seats. Her commanding performance and ability to embody the enigmatic Ji Young showcase a side of Seolhyun never seen before.

The gripping story of Lee Ji Young continues to unfold in 'Light Shop'. Episodes 5 and 6 premiered exclusively on Disney+ on December 11, leaving audiences eager to uncover the secrets behind Ji Young’s character.
