There’s a saying that kids grow like weeds, not as a negative connotation but a simile for how they sprout so quickly. It’s been a pleasure watching yet another round of this occur before our eyes as three very talented Korean actress child actresses have been vetted as nearly all grown up. The three Kims, so to speak, have dominated the child actress acting category for K-dramas and movies for nearly the last decade. There have been some competition here and there but for the most part they are the go to choices for child roles. This year marks all three as over 16 years of age in Korean years, with the youngest Kim Sae Ron born in 2000 while the year older Kim Yoo Jung and Kim So Hyun both ’99ers. K-ent is wondering which new child actresses will take their place, and how these three lovely talented ladies will blossom once they fully transition into adult roles.
It’s crazy how fast kids grow because the top picture is from two years ago and the bottom from this year, and in two years these ladies got all the curves in all the right places and piled on the sophisticated aura. I’d love to see kids grow at their own pace, but then entertainment industry kids are preternaturally mature and wiser beyond their years, so it’s not always a bad thing they are so composed. Of the three, I think Kim Sae Ron has the edge with her Chungmuro cred thanks to starting out in movies, but the other two owned K-dramas and that’s nothing to blink about. I love all three equally and can’t wait to see what the next phase of their acting career produces.

I'd live to see the young actors side too. Though there seems to be less on that side of the sex.
I watch them growing up, too. The three of them are beautiful in their own right and I just hope they won't undergo plastic surgery! I am not against ps but they don't need it, they are already naturally beautiful :)
Kim sae Ron can be a model with her height instead of only an actress. She's so tall. Love three of them. very talented young actors. Wanna see Yeo Jin Goo having grown up romance story in a drama with Kim Yoo Jung when the correct time comes. Same goes to Kim Se Hyun and Sung Jae.
Yes yes!! And it would be even more magical if they had clips of these two when they were younger. You don't need child actors/actresses for that. :P
Where's Jung dabin?
I could totally see them dominating the k-drama scene in the next 5 years. I hope this means there are more quality dramas with strong heroine characters then there is currently to offer
imo in terms of looks, image, and vibes:
Kim So hyun- son ye jin, han ga in, song hye kyo
Kim yoo jung- jun hi hyun, han hyo joo
Kim Saeron- bae doona
Kim Yoo Jung--SHIN MIN AH! How did you miss this? lol ;)
Kim So Hyeon and Kim Yu Jeong are in the same level. I'm not sure about Kim Sae Ron.
I think the IT GIRL of child actreess nowadays is Gal Sol-won...
I'd love to see three of them in one production.. Imagine How great will it be!!! But off course I would like each of them playing different strong heroin character in it, they will have their own arch and love story, no one will outshine the other! Maybe a drama or movie around friendship and coming of age.
I nominate Lee Ree (Please Comeback, Mister) as the next generation of child actress.
Nam Da Reum (Memory, Tvn) for child actor.
Both are great in SFD.
