AC Bonifacio might’ve departed from the upcoming K-pop thriller “Perfect Girl” due to a freak accident, but she is nonetheless grateful for the opportunity to be chosen for an international film.
Bonifacio exited the production of “Perfect Girl” after her involvement in a motorcycle accident in Bangkok, Thailand, which came weeks after she was confirmed to be part of the film.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, November 24, she said that she is currently focusing on her recovery while expressing her gratitude to be considered.
“Blessed to have been chosen to be a part of an international film with such a powerhouse all-Asian cast. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always pan out the way we want it to,” she said.

“I was so excited to finally announce ‘Perfect Girl’. I did my auditions, booked the part and had been shooting in Bangkok already. Freak accidents happen and it’s unfortunately forced me to take a rest and focus on healing and getting better,” she continued.
Despite the accident, Bonifacio said she has been “surrounded by so much love,” as she was taken care of by her loved ones and “gained a new family” in her castmates.
“But even in such a tough moment, I was surrounded by so much love. I gained a new family in this project. People took care of me, checked up on me, and made memories with me that I’ll always treasure. So grateful for every single one of them. Will always be thankful for this journey I had with them,” she said.
The actress assured her supporters that she “will not give up” in spite of her accident. She also jokingly asked if there are “any one-arm dance trends” that she can do at the moment.
“I’m very thankful for everyone who’s supported me through all of this. My journey doesn’t stop here — I will continue to work hard and not give up. Everything happens for a reason,” she said. “Buti nalang left side ang angle ko let me know if there are any one-arm dance trends, I gotchu guys. I love you guys, thank you for everything.”
Bonifacio received messages of support from her castmates Arden Cho and Nancy McDonie, as well as her boyfriend Harvey Bautista, Maki, and Kai Montinola in the comments.
The “Pinoy Big Brother” alum was confirmed as a cast member of the Hong Won-ki-helmed film last October, which also stars Cho, McDonie, and May Hong.
Other stars include Billlie’s Siyoon, Cherry Bullet’s Chaerin, Jeon Somi, Peter Lee Jae Yoon, Samantha Cochran, Ally, Adeline Rudolph, and John Kim.
