Although she's an actress now, the former idol trainee exuded her star qualities by posing to the camera like a pro.

When her photos were posted, K-pop fans especially Pink Bloods (SM stans) can't help but admire Lami's beauty and expressed their regrets that she didn't debut as an idol.

If weren't for her initially leaving SM, fans believed that Lami could have debuted as a member of one of the most popular fourth-gen girl groups, aespa.

  • "Oh my god, Lami is so beautiful."
  • "I want to see Lami become an idol, but I also wish for her successful and long career as an actress."
  • "Casting news please."
  • "Our little sister Lami grew up really well."
  • "It's too bad she didn't debut as an idol."

Meanwhile, looking at her photos, some netizens then pointed out her uncanny resemblance with a lot of K-pop idols and celebrities. In a popular web forum, K-Netz said:

  • "Even if it was now, it would be the face that SM would take."
  • "She gives off a f(x) vibe."
  • "She looks like a face from Starship. She's like a mix of IVE Jang Wonyoung and Gaeul."
  • "Is it Cherry Bullet Jiwon? She looks like that person."
  • "She's like a combination of NewJeans Danielle and Jang Wonyoung's older sister."
  • "She looks like Park Ji Hoo."
  • "She's like a sister of Jang Wonyoung."

Lami's Recent Activities

In 2013, Lami's name became first known in the K-pop scene as a member of SM ROOKIES, a pre-debut trainees' group under SM Entertainment.

Due to her singing and dance skills on top of her visuals, fans were confident she would debut after it was confirmed that she would join SM New Girl Group (SR16G) in 2017, hereinafter, aespa.

But in 2020, she left SM Entertainment and initially hinted that she gave up on becoming an idol to focus on her studies.

But in 2022, Lami surprised fans after she returned to SM, but this time, as an actress. She returned to the small screen for the 2023 drama, "Oh! Youngsim," and earned rave reviews for her stable and bright acting.

Before the year ends, it is also expected that Lami will show off her acting skills in the upcoming mystery teen drama, "Night Has Fallen."
