Not the “The King’s Affection” child star, this is the best girl who plays a role of a boy in Korean drama.
Korean filmmakers have surprised netizens twice as they changed actors’ on-screen genders. One is in “Hi Bye Mama”, the other time is in “The King: Eternal Monarch”. Both times, the child actors surprised the audience by knowing their true gender.
In “The King: Eternal Monarch“, there is a character called the yoyo boy. However, the audience did not realize that the yoyo boy was played by a child actress. This person is Kim Bo Min, a 10-year-old girl (at the time of filming). To take on this role, Bo Min had to cut her hair, and always appeared in a dirty, tired appearance, different from her lovely, radiant appearance in real life. If the media had not reported it at that time, perhaps until now, many people still did not know that Kim Bo Min was a girl.
Kim Bo Min was born in 2010. She has been acting since the age of 6 and has participated in many big projects such as “Chocolate“, “Miss Baek“, “The Negotiation“,… Most recently, Kim Bo Min played the daughter of the male lead. Gong Yoo in “The Silent Sea“. The interesting point is that in the series, the person who takes on the role of little Luna is Bo Min’s real-life sister. This is also her only role since The King: Eternal Monarch while her sister has been regularly receiving new roles for the past 2 years.
