Netizens React to Lee Yoo Mi’s Role as an Elementary Student at 17 Years Old

Despite being a relatively unknown actress, Lee Yoo Mi gained worldwide recognition after her performances in two highly acclaimed Netflix series, “Squid Game”and “All of Us Are Dead.”Her exceptional talent and striking appearance have propelled her to stardom, leading to her first leading role on television.

In a recent article, fans were surprised by media outlet Koreaboo’s mention of Lee Yoo Mi’s past role in the drama Future Boy. At the time, the female star was only 17 years old and portrayed the character of Seo Yun Doo, an elementary school student. Her petite stature, adorable appearance, and hairstyle successfully convinced viewers of her portrayal as a young student.

Despite this not being the first time Lee Yoo Mi has convincingly portrayed a younger character, it is worth noting that she was also 27 years old when she played a high school student in “All of Us Are Dead.”Nevertheless, it is still more challenging for an adult to play a child than a high school student. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the audience was still amazed and praised the actress for her performance.

Despite being born in 1994, Lee Yoo Mi began her career in Korean showbiz later than most, having worked for 12 years before gaining recognition. Just last year, she also landed the lead role in the drama Strong Girl Gang Nam Soon.
