“Hospital Playlist” Child Actor’s Growth And Musical Talents Amaze Fans
When tvN‘s Hospital Playlist first aired its Season 1 in 2020, child actor Kim Jun stole the spotlight as Lee Woo Joo (also known as Uju), the son of Lee Ik Jun, who is famously portrayed by actor Jo Jung Suk.
To the surprise of K-Drama fans, the young actor has grown a lot in recent years!
Kim Jun, who is currently 10 years old but remembered as a tiny and adorable 5-year-old, shocked everyone with his appearance on the singing competition program King of Masked Singer. If his growth was not enough to make fans emotional, he also sang Hospital Playlist OST “Me To You, You To Me (너에게 난 나에게 넌)” by Mido & Falasol.

Some joked they always thought his Hospital Playlist would grow up to be a doctor too but now might become an idol singer.
