Netizens React To “Lovely Runner” Kim Hye Yoon’s High School Photo

Actress Kim Hye Yoon has recently gained recognition for her role as Im Sol in Lovely Runner.

The star played a high school student for the bulk of the series before recently time-traveling to an older age.

Although she was born in 1996, her petite frame and youthful looks make her convincing as a high school student.

Her real high school photos have recently gone viral on online communities. This is her in a promotional video for an acting academy that she attended. The academy helped her to get into Konkuk University, one of the most prestigious schools for acting in South Korea. She filmed the video right after acceptance.

Her yearbook photo was also released to the public.

She truly has not aged a bit! Netizens couldn’t help but gush over her cuteness.

• CUTE LOL.
• She was from Sunil? Guess she was my junior… But seems like the uniform didn’t change. It’s the same from 30 years ago.
• F*cking cute LOL. She looks so smart.
• Wow, she looks so smart hehe. Baby.
• So cute.
• Cutie!
• Cute haha. Why does she look so smart?
• A real baby! I want to buy her rice cakes and melon slushies and send her off to the academy.

Time must’ve stopped for her back then! Even at 28-years-old in 2024, she doesn’t look a bit out of place playing a high school student.
