Kim Soo-an, who has been acting for 8 years, played the role of Kyung-min, the daughter of Jung-won, portrayed by the late actor Lee Sun-kyun, in the recently released film “Project Silence.”She effectively portrayed the complex emotions of a teenage girl with a politician father. Kim Soo-an’s growth as an actress was evident in various scenes, including her frustrated confrontation with her father at the beginning of the movie and her brave act of saving him. This left a lasting and irresistible impression on viewers.

The film that made Kim So-an a household name was “Train to Busan,”directed by Yeon Sang-ho. In the movie, she portrayed Su-an, the daughter of Seok-woo (played by actor Gong Yoo), one of the two survivors of a zombie virus outbreak. Kim’s character transformation from a young girl in Gong Yoo’s protective embrace to a determined adolescent girl striving to save Lee Sun-kyun added a significant element of evolution to the story.

In the JTBC drama “The Atypical Family,”which recently concluded, actor Jang Ki-yong played the male protagonist and was joined by child actress Park So-yi as Bok-na, his daughter who returns to him. Bok-na possesses a unique ability to read people’s thoughts through eye contact, making her an intriguing adolescent character. Viewers were captivated by her exceptional performance, particularly in scenes where her eyes displayed a mix of childlike innocence and deep, mysterious depths.

Despite being an elementary school student who has not yet experienced puberty, Park So-yi has already established herself as a talented child actress. She has impressed audiences with her performances in popular works like the SBS drama “Revenant”and the movie “Deliver Us from Evil.”

The acting abilities of young actresses like Kim Soo-an and Park So-yi elicit both admiration and curiosity from viewers. As they continue to grow and develop, audiences eagerly anticipate their future performances while also wondering about the endless possibilities for their careers as adult actresses.
