Her rising popularity was further underscored in 2017 when she was ranked the 17th most popular idol in South Korea by Gallup Korea’s annual music poll, the same year she graduated from Hanlim Multi Art School.
Dahyun’s influence in the fashion world grew significantly in July 2023, when she was appointed as a global brand ambassador for the luxury fashion house Michael Kors, a testament to her international recognition and style authority. Solidifying her presence on the international stage, she made her high-profile runway debut at New York Fashion Week in September 2024, where she personally presented the brand’s anticipated 2025 Spring/Summer collection to critical acclaim. Concurrent with her expanding fashion endeavors, Dahyun embarked on her acting career in 2024, starring in the independent film ‘Run to You’ and the Korean remake of ‘You Are the Apple of My Eye.’ Her nuanced performance in the latter garnered significant critical attention, earning her the prestigious Rising Star Award at the BIFF Asia Star Awards in 2024, marking a strong debut in the cinematic landscape. Continuing to broaden her artistic portfolio and diversify her presence across entertainment platforms, Dahyun is set to further establish her acting career with a starring role in the eagerly anticipated 2025 television series ‘Love Me.’ Her consistent ability to navigate and excel across music, high fashion, and film/television underscores her dynamic appeal and positions her as a highly marketable and multifaceted talent in the global entertainment landscape.
