Hyeri of the girl group Girl’s Day said Tuesday she is feeling immense pressure not to disappoint fans with her role in the upcoming TV series “Entertainer.”

“Much deliberation went into choosing my next TV role after ‘Reply 1988,’” she told reporters at SBS headquarters in Seoul. “I had a lot of pressure on my shoulders when I started on this show.”

Hyeri earned much kudos as an actress in “Reply 1988,” a sensational coming-of-age drama that gave cable channel tvN a rare boost in viewership to the 20-percent range. In the 2015 show, Hyeri delivered with her role as Deokseon, whose simple charms captured many hearts.

In “Entertainer,” the singer will play Geurin, the elder sister and manager of an aspiring musician.

Actor Ji Sung of the 2014 hit drama “Kill Me, Heal Me” has taken on the titular character Shin Seok-ho, a former chairman of a top management agency who is forced to start from scratch after his rival’s plot succeeds. Kang Min-hyuk, the drummer in boy band CNBlue, will portray the promising musician Haneul.

“I’m trying to differentiate Geurin from Deokseon,” Hyeri continued. “At first glance, the two may seem similar because both are outgoing. But I think I know Deokseon pretty well, so I should be able to eliminate her specter in Geurin’s character.”

Ji said the show succeeding “Please Come Back, Mister” on SBS will allow him to reflect back on his acting career.

“All of us seem to be living an entertainer’s life in one way or another,” he said. “I chose to be on ‘Entertainer’ because I thought it would help me understand how I can live my life better.”

Strangely enough, the other lead actors in “Reply 1988″ and “Kill Me, Heal Me” have joined forces in another upcoming show that will compete with “Entertainer.”

Actress Hwang Jeon-eum, who partnered with Ji in “Kill Me, Heal Me,” and actor Ryu Jun-yeol, whose character gets stood up by Deokseon in “Reply 1988,” will star in “Lucky Romance,” an MBC drama premiering next month.

“It feels like someone played a prank on us,” Ji said, laughing. “Hwang and Ryu look nice together. I’m sure they’ll create their own synergy. In the meantime, I’ll focus on Hyeri and our show.”

Hyeri also shared her initial surprise when she first heard the news of Hwang and Ryu.

“I actually called Ryu after reading the news,” she said. “I asked if he’s OK with competing with us (laugh). We agreed that we should do our best in our respective roles.”

“Entertainer” premieres on Wednesday at 10 p.m. on SBS.

    The professions you specify don’t sound almost sufficiently adaptable. The kind of “normal” vocations which are perfect for on-screen characters are ones which they can do independent, so they can take a day, seven days, or even a month off at whatever point they have to for tryouts, practices and the uncommon piece of work!
