Despite only being born in 2006, child star KIM Su-an has racked up an impressive list of credits that puts most veteran actors to shame. With her natural charisma and cuteness, few filmmakers can resist working with her and each has heaped effusive praise on her mature talent. Her first film role came in the film omnibus <Sorry and Thank You>, where she played in PARK Heung-sik’s segment <My Little Sister>. She subsequently began to draw attention from the industry as the lead in YOON Ga-eun’s Golden Bear winning short <Sprout> and then from wider audiences as the daughter of SON Hyun-ju in his late summer thriller hit <Hide and Seek>. In early 2014 she appeared as the lead in director KIM Tae-yong’s segment of <Mad Sad Mad>, the 3D omnibus which opened the Jeonju International Film Festival, also featuring in <Gyeongju>, <The Whistleblower>, <Late Spring> and <Cart> that year. The Cannes-invited <Coin Locker Girl>, period action <Memories of the Sword> and media thriller <The Exclusive: Beat The Devil’s Tattoo> followed in 2015. The next year started with a part in the romantic drama <Love, Lies>, her third time working with PARK Heung-sik before she managed to widen her profile again with a strongly received leading role in YEON Sang-ho’s zombie thriller <Train to Busan>, which debuted as a midnight screening at the Cannes Film Festival to roundly positive reviews.Less
