“Gong Yoo’s daughter in “Train To Busan” grew up this much?” The Whereabouts Of New Generation’s Child Actresses

Child actress Kim Soo-an played the role of Kyung-min, the daughter of Jung-won, played by the late actor Lee Sun-kyun in the recently released movie “Project Silence.” She successfully showed the complex emotions of an adolescent girl with a politician father. Kim Soo-an’s acting skill growth was shown in scenes such as when she was frustratingly confronting her father Lee Sun-kyun at the beginning of the movie, and when she was eventually courageous to save his father. This gave viewers a predictable but irresistible impression of her at the same time.

The work that imprinted Kim So-an’s name in the public’s mind was in director Yeon Sang-ho’s hit movie “Train to Busan.” In the movie, she played Su-an, the daughter of Seok-woo, played by actor Gong Yoo, one of the two characters that survived the zombie virus outbreak. Kim’s growth from a young girl in Gong Yoo’s arms to now an adolescent girl who is on a tightrope to save Lee Sun-kyun gave a big sense of change.

Another child actress, Park So-yi, appeared as Bok-na, the returning daughter of the male protagonist, played by actor Jang Ki-yong in the JTBC drama “The Atypical Family,” which recently ended. Bok-na is also an adolescent girl who has the superpower to find out what’s inside one’s mind when she makes eye contact with them. Viewers was impressed by her performance with extremely close-up of her sometimes child-like and sometimes abyss-like eyes.

In fact, Park So-yi is an elementary school student who has yet to go through puberty. Nevertheless, she started acting as a child actress early on, and is now showing off her skills in works such as the SBS drama “Revenant” as well as her performance in the movie “Deliver Us from Evil.”

The performances of underage actresses such as Kim Soo-an and Park So-yi give viewers admiration and curiosity at the same time. While making people look forward to their future performance, they also leave a question mark on the infinite possibility of what kind of actress they will become after they become adults. At the same time, there are people who are anxious about whether expectations would be a burden to minor actresses who have not grown up yet.
