Actress Kim Yoo Jung recently looked back at one of her earliest movie roles, revealing that many people still do not realize she appeared in the 2008 Korean thriller The Chaser when she was just nine years old.

The actress shared the surprising detail during a recent appearance on Netflix Korea's official YouTube content, where she was promoting her current drama 100 Days of Deception.

During the conversation, Kim Yoo Jung recalled how young she was when she first entered the entertainment industry.

She shared, "I debuted when I was four years old," before adding, "I filmed The Chaser when I was nine."

Her revelation surprised comedian Yoo Byung Jae, who remembered watching the movie when he was a college freshman.

He responded, "I watched The Chaser when I was a freshman in college."

Kim Yoo Jung then explained that even though the movie remains well known, many viewers still have trouble recognizing her younger self.

She said, "Even now, a lot of people don't realize that was me."

The video also showed footage of Kim Yoo Jung from the film, highlighting how much she has changed since appearing on screen as a child actress.

Released in 2008, The Chaser marked the feature film directorial debut of Na Hong Jin. The crime thriller became widely recognized for its intense storytelling, while Kim Yoo Jung appeared in the film during the early years of her acting career.

Her appearance in the movie is now an interesting detail for viewers who may have watched it without realizing that the young actress would later become one of South Korea's familiar leading stars.

Meanwhile, Kim Yoo Jung is currently starring as Lee Ga Kyung in tvN's weekend drama 100 Days of Deception.

The actress continues to receive attention for her performance in the series, which has been showing strong viewership ratings.

Episode 5, which aired on October 24, recorded an average nationwide household rating of 6.5%, with a peak of 8.8%, according to Nielsen Korea. It also ranked first in its time slot among cable and general programming channels.

From appearing in The Chaser at just nine years old to leading major Korean dramas today, Kim Yoo Jung's recent comments have brought renewed attention to her long acting career and one of her lesser-known childhood roles.
