Recently, a post titled “The surprising update of the child actress once called IU’s lookalike” circulated across online communities, quickly becoming a hot topic. The post compared Kim Gyuri’s past appearances as IU’s younger self in My Mister and Hotel Del Luna with her latest photos, showcasing her rapid growth and transformation.
During her child actress days, Kim Gyuri captured viewers’ attention with her large eyes, fair skin, oval face, and high nose bridge, features that closely resembled IU. Many viewers of My Mister even commented that the resemblance was so strong it felt unreal, leaving reactions such as “Isn’t this CG?”, “This makes no sense,” and “She looks exactly like IU.”
Born in 2008, Kim Gyuri is now 17 years old. She further raised her profile by appearing on Mnet’s 2024 idol survival audition program I-LAND2, where her matured visuals and unchanged, distinct facial features impressed viewers. As she continues to grow, fans note that her resemblance to IU has become even more pronounced, drawing strong attention from older fans.
Kim Gyuri also recently shared photos on her personal SNS, posting pictures of herself enjoying time by the sea with her pet dog, captioned “My younger sibling.” Her tall proportions and bright smile stood out, while fans jokingly commented that her dog resembled her so much it looked like “two puppies.”
In addition to her child acting roles, Kim Gyuri previously appeared in P egasus Market, where she humorously referenced IU by choosing “IU” as her Western-style name. After her role in Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol in 2020, she paused acting activities. Her appearance on I-LAND2 later revealed that she had joined WakeOne as a trainee, signaling a new chapter in her career.
