On May 4, 2024, it was announced that Dahyun would be making her acting debut in the independent film Run to You. She was also cast in You Are the Apple of My Eye, a Korean remake of the 2011 Taiwanese film of the same name. The film premiered at the 29th Busan International Film Festival in October 2024 and it will be released on February 21, 2025 in South Korea and to selected countries worldwide around late February to March of the same year.
