Yet, the reason it became such a huge topic was the shock at the anniversary Yoo Jung was celebrating. At the age of 24, it seems crazy that she could celebrate such a huge anniversary. While child actors aren’t uncommon, netizens were shocked to realize Yoo Jung was celebrating 24 years in the industry.

Yoo Jung actually debuted in 2003 at the mere age of 4 years old, where she played young Lee Soo Hyun in DMZ. She quickly became one of the most sought-after child actors and played roles in many huge K-Dramas.
While netizens have known that Yoo Jung has been acting for a long time, seeing the numbers clearly never fails to shock them and showcase how far she’s grown.
How is this possible at 24?
