“High Kick” Child Actress Who Was Once the Target of Malicious Comments Wows with Current Visuals
This former child actress from "High Kick" stuns with her current whereabouts
Actress Seo Shin Ae, once known as a child star through the popular sitcom “High Kick” part 2, recently surprised netizens by sharing a series of new photos after a long absence.
In the new photos, Seo Shin Ae flaunts her natural beauty in simple outfits and subtle makeup. Netizens noticed that she has lost quite a bit of weight compared to over a year ago. Her weight loss and softer appearance make Seo Shin Ae’s beauty shine more.
In the comments section of the photos, netizens shower her with compliments on her new look. Surprisingly, many express hopes for her return to acting soon: “Come back to acting soon,” “You look so much younger,” “Much slimmer face, also prettier and younger,” “With this beauty, you should return to acting soon,”… These are comments from Korean netizens right below Seo Shin Ae’s post.
The reason netizens are hoping for Shin Ae’s swift return to acting is surprising because previously, she faced many negative comments. Since her role in “High Kick,” Seo Shin Ae hasn’t been widely liked, largely due to her character’s portrayal. She was even the most disliked among the cast that year.
Growing up, she faced intense criticism for embracing a more mature style and appearing in revealing dresses on prominent red carpets. Seo Shin Ae’s career took a hit when she came forward as a victim of school violence, with the bully being Soojin – a former member of (G)I-DLE.
One would expect sympathy for a victim, but unexpectedly, Soojin refuted it, and aside from testimonies, Shin Ae couldn’t provide any evidence, leading to a backlash against her. Shin Ae faced a barrage of boycotts at the same time Soojin announced her departure from the group.
From the eruption of controversy until now, whenever Shin Ae reappears on social media, the comments are usually negative. However, in the new photos, netizens’ reactions are positive. It seems that audiences are slowly embracing Shin Ae’s return.
Although she’s an actress, Shin Ae’s last appearance was actually 4 years ago, in “Mothers” in 2018. Since then, she’s almost disappeared from the entertainment industry, releasing books and starting a YouTube channel. Currently, Seo Shin Ae seems to have no plans to return to acting.
Born in 1998, Seo Shin Ae started as a child actress, making her debut in 2005 with a supporting role in “Mr. Housewife.” By 2009, she gained fame with “High Kick.” Moreover, this drama overshadowed her career, making it impossible for Shin Ae to break through regardless of her subsequent works.
