The child actress in “Train To Busan”: Flourishing visuals and admirable career at the age of 16
Recent photos of Gong Yoo’s daughter in “Train To Busan” took netizens by complete surprise.
Released in 2016, “Train To Busan” has undoubtedly become a classic Korean movie, which is so popular it even spawned the sequel “Peninsula” and got the attention of Hollywood. The movie also boosted the careers of various stars, including the 10-year-old child actress Kim Soo Ahn, who played Gong Yoo’s daughter and delivered a heart-breaking performance.
Despite being extremely young in “Train To Busan”, Kim Soo Ahn actually already got 5 years of experience at the time. Unlike other child actors, the actress debuted with a major role at the age of 5, in the 2011 film “Sorry, Thank You”. Ever since, she kept starring as leading actresses in various critically acclaimed cinematic works, and was even dubbed an “acting genius” by the media.
Kim Soo Ahn’s unique visuals allowed her to fit in heavier works that have survival, action, or thriller elements. In addition, she was praised for being extremely resilient and determined on the set, and thus was able to bring forth performances as professional as the most experienced actors.
In recent years though, Kim Soo Ahn has been taking on less projects in order to focus on her studies. She also has no SNS accounts, and only occasionally appears on her agency’s official pages. The actress’s most recent appearance was in the K-drama “Reflection of You”, as a rebellious high school girl who always causes trouble for her mother.
Looking at new photos of Kim Soo Ahn, netizens couldn’t help but be shocked that the once tiny actress has completely grown up. With flourishing visuals and an outstanding height, the actress’s prospects in the acting industry will be something to look forward to.
