[SBS Entertainment News | Editor Jeon Min-jae] The Korean dubbing process for Daniel's movie The Little Mermaid has been revealed.
Yesterday (30th), the official YouTube channel of NewJeans posted a video of Daniel's acting practice process for dubbing The Little Mermaid, the filming scene of the music video for the theme song, and various appearances such as stage greetings.
During script rehearsals, Daniel struggled with the scene where Ariel gets angry with her dad, saying, "I think I needed to be angry with my dad to do this," and changed his facial expressions to focus more on his emotions, repeating his lines several times.

Speaking about his first dubbing performance, Daniel said, "I'm so nervous and excited. I'm trying to immerse myself in the role," he said, "and I'm going to try to keep growing."
In addition, he said that during the filming of the theme song music video, "I'm very nervous because it's my first time (shooting) by myself, but thank you for taking such a beautiful picture," and even though he looked nervous, he said, "It feels a little bit like a musical. It's fun," he said, focusing on filming.
Daniel continued, "I used to do a little bit of musicals when I was younger, and I think I'm reminding myself more and more of the things I sang while expressing (emotion) back then."

Daniel, who finished filming the music video safely, said, "I came with a nervous heart, but all the staff were so warm and friendly, and the atmosphere (at the scene) was so good. Thanks to this, I was able to immerse myself in the role and express myself well."
"It was a little difficult at first to immerse myself in my emotions and express them, but the more I did so, the more confident I became," he added.
At the end, Daniel, who attended the stage greeting, said, "Ariel is a very curious and adventurous friend. She looks a little like me in the way she goes out dreaming of going out into the world," she said, revealing her love for the role, saying, "It was so much fun because she's actually the same age, and I love Ariel so much."
On the other hand, Disney's live-action musical film "The Little Mermaid," which was released on the 24th, has been controversial even before its release.

In particular, Korean movie fans expressed concern about the casting of Daniel, an idol member who is not a professional voice actor, in dubbing, in various areas, such as "inaccurate dialogue delivery" and "first acting challenge".
In addition, some foreign media outlets criticized the film, saying, "An actor with the same skin color as the lead actor should have been dubbed," and "Black-American actors and white Korean-American actors reflect the skin color discrimination that is prevalent in the world."
In response, Disney said, "Daniel was given only sheet music at the audition site and passed the final test after an impromptu singing and dialogue test."
In addition, Daniel's Korean dubbing performance, which was a concern, has elicited a positive response after the film's release through Ariel's curious emotions, clear tone, and dialogue delivery.
