From Kim Min-jeong to Kang Soo-yeon, Best 5 child actors

The futures of many child stars were generally depressing.

The childish image and the weight of the years were obstacles for child stars to become adult actors.

But even among them, there are stars who have succeeded in transforming into adults. The IS Entertainment Team has picked out the best 5 actors who started out as child stars.

The first is the heroine of "New Heart", Kim Min-jeong.

Kim Min-jeong, who's charm comes from her big eyes, debuted in 1990 when she was eight, with MBC Best Theater "Widow". In 1992, she received the 'Child Actor Award' from KBS, received the 'Youth Award' in 1998, and received much love for her smart acting. Her official change to adult acting came in 2005 with the drama "Fashion 70s" and in 2006 with the movie "Forbidden Quest".

Especially in "Forbidden Quest", she had a daring exposure scene, and fully separated from her innocent, childish image.

The second is Moon Geun-yeong, who is transforming from the nation's younger sister to everyone's sweetheart. When she was 12 in 1999, she debuted in the movie "On the Road" and played the younger version of Song Hye-kyo in KBS drama "Autumn in my Heart" in 2000.

She showed traditional images in "A Tale of Two Sisters", "My Little Bride", and "Innocent Steps". In 2006, she changed in "Love Me Not" but it failed to be a success. It seems she will undergo an official change in the drama "Painter of the Wind" to air later this year.

The third is 'Hip-hop boy' Yang Dong-geun.

He had been a regular child actor as much as Yoo Seung-ho but is now a 29-year-old adult actor. He adapted in the 2002 drama "Ruler of Your Own World" and 2003 movie "Wild Card". He is now showing his skill with loose and tough acting.

The fourth is the winner of the New Actor Award at the BaekSang Awards, Jang Geun-seok. He is 21 this year, and has been a child actor in historical dramas since he was young. And he is making soft landings as he tries to change into an adult actor with movies "Chakshin Ari Final" (2006) and "The Happy Life" (2007).

The last is Kang Soo-yeon. She is a child star that is always discussed with Ahn Seong-gi and Son Chang-min. Her official debut work was the movie "Blood Line" in 1979. She is now 42 and has 30 years of acting experience. Other child actors that have succeeded are Lee Min-woo, Song Hye-kyo, Ko Ah-ra, Noh Hee-ji, and Park Sin-hye.

[Guest DongBangBoys]

regarding dongbangboys being nominated, im so shock haha theres even such thing congrats haha ur NAKED proves it all~ haha

LMAO wow they worked when I didn't even send them in yet

DongBangboys, congrats for being nominated as soompi gal It sure is perfect timing... It's either he lurks here on soompi, totally a coincidence, or you have super powers that you can see the future... LoL!

HAHA thanks <33 I KNOW I'm still freaked out about that. I seriously think he's around here searching and looking at our posts secretly. I'm scared to write anything else. BUT on the bright side, it shows how ordinary he really is, because I was just thinking what I felt inside. He's a regular boy who needs love just like everyone else.

dongbangboys what do u get for being jang keun girl?

lol do i have to give u allowance

LMAO OMG that means you approve!? I get to be his soompi gal???

and what do I get?? WHY the satisfaction that I'm his soompi gal!

Dongbangboys, what are you going to bride Mama Jang with ?

AH Man! SO i have to give her money!? I guess...LOL

hmm bribe her with??? That's tough! I have to ask my honey, Geun Suk about it since that is her son XD LOL

[Guest llin]

wow, his cyworld entry is *puts in some random words.

when i was reading it, i can actually feel his ache. the not-so-glamourous side of being a star, the loneliness.

jang geun suk is at the sensitive age i think, at 21, more so when he is in the industry i think.

thank you sillyyun for translating his entry (:

you guys are quick with updates! MORE PICTURES! *SAVE SAVE SAVE!

[Guest Richard_62]

[Guest anf322]

I believe this hasn't been posted! hehe. This is during his Hwangjinyi days. Also, I was surfing around the net and found this lady's blog. I think she works in the industry, lucky her.

All credits go to her : http://traceyinkorea.spaces.live.com/default.aspx

Excerpt from her blog:

"I've also met Jang Guen Seok who plays Hwang Jin-I's first love. He's a lot of fun and told me he's been acting since age 14 (he's now 20). Usually we all have meals together as a group, Ha Jiwon, her staff, myself, and Guen Seok and his staff. It feels like one big happy family."

"I also enjoyed meeting Jang Gun Suk, and his Sr. Manager Byong Gun and his stylist Boem-me. "

Now on with the pics.

He's so adorable!

the lady herself.

dunno who this is.

her again.

on set

the jumping rope scene

he looks like he's 10 here! LOL. so cute.

the happy couple!

[Guest newlili]

Wow, thanks for the pixs anf322. those pixs soo cute.

[Guest sheena0627]

this thread is growing real fast, 4 pages i have to read! haha!! yipeee~~~

oh, i downloaded doremi with chinese sub and my version is 1hr 45mins too. did someone mention they had the two hour long version? I was thinking my version is not full coz i didn't see the scene that he was crying for chichibi. Though i highly suspect they cut it away~~ sighz

[Guest Strawberii]

Dang, this thread goes by at mega speed lately, it moved up 3 pages since yesterday.

It seems like everyoine thinks he wants to fall badly in love haha i soemhow think tt he actually fell in lvoe already but he let it slip and now he's regretting. tt's why he says it's best to be drunk cos in that state he's truthful to himself and maybe if he was when love happened, he would be happier now.

I agree, i had a suspicion that it may be about a previous love considering how he talks about regretting and for some reason i think that the girl he's talking about maybe Boa....or Stephanie (though they're more like siblings) idk it's just a theory

[Guest tuchee11]

thanks for the dload link and the blog post guys! I'm glad that people who work with oppa really appreciate him... He's such a nice guy

Gaaaah! So confused as to really how long the doremi movie is... looks like there's a lot of versions... can't wait too see oppa on this... i'm desperately waiting for the eng subs to come out...

MOre of oppa @ the airport yesterday...

dckeunsuk

Eels at dckeunsuk have been mentioning about the airport & the US... OMG! So it means he's goin there? I wonder what for... Still wondering

[Guest anf322]

i really love his white headphones. i've searched allot but still dont know which brand is.... damn i'm gonna crazy
