From a child star to a teen actor: Here’s what SHINee’s adorable “son” is up to now 

Do you recognize SHINee’s baby from the famous reality show 12 years ago? 

In 2010, in season 2 of “Hello Baby”, a reality show where celebrities spend time taking care of a newly born child or toddler to experience what it’s like to be parents, SHINee became fathers to Yoo Geun, an adorable 3-year-old boy. When the show aired, Yoo Geun created a buzz among viewers because of how cute and smart he looks, especially with his big eyes and chubby cheeks.

For over 13 episodes, SHINee and Yoo Geun became close through hangouts, short trips, going to music shows and other fun activities. 12 years have passed since the broadcast of “Hello Baby” and Yoo Geun is now a 15-year-old teenager. He is still active in the entertainment industry as an actor. At the moment, Yoo Geun is appearing in TVING’s drama “I’ll Give It My All…Tomorrow”, in which he plays the young self of the male lead Nam Geum Pil (Park Hae Joon).
