Recently, it became a hot topic on online communities that Lami was listed on the artist profile of SM Entertainment, raising suspicions that she will be debuting as an actress. On December 9th, SM confirmed these suspicions by telling Xports News, “It is correct that Lami will debut as an actress under SM.”
Born in 2003, Lami became known to the world in 2013 as a member of SM Rookies, a predebut trainee team under SM Entertainment. Prior to this, she also gained attention as a child actress, having appeared in “Five Fingers”, “A Perfect Spy”, and “Me Too, Flower!”.
SM Rookies was a pre-debut team that revealed rookies who were trained by SM and hold high possibilities of debuting. For example, Red Velvet’s Irene, Seulgi, Wendy, and Yeri, aespa’s Ningning, NCT’s Taeyong, Doyoung, Ten, Jaehyun, Jungwoo and Mark, etc, were all introduced via SM Rookies before their debut.
After becoming a public trainee, Lami appeared on Disney’s “Mickey Mouse Club” alongside other SM Rookies members, and gained huge popularity. With her cute and lovely appearance, she was predicted to become the visual center of SM’s next girl group. In 2020, she was rumored to have left SM Entertainment after failing to make the debut line up of aespa, leaving fans in deep regrets. Now, 2 years later, it is confirmed that Lami will become an actress under SM, and her fans couldn’t help but celebrate.
As Lami already has experience as a child actress, expectations are high for the performance she will show in the future.
