South Korean child actor and model Seo Woo Jin was born on July 23, 2015. He is recognized for his roles in dramas such as The Light in Your Eyes, VIP, and Love with Flaws. He gained attention in 'Hi Bye, Mama' when he portrayed the role of a girl.
Yes, it's unusual, since Seo Woo Jin is biologically male. This led to many viewers questioning why was he chosen to portray this particular role when there are plenty of female child actresses in the country?
The production explained the reason why they chose to offer this role to Seo Woo Jin despite the character of being a female. There are actually two main reasons: First, Seo Woo Jin has a striking resemblance to Kim Tae Hee and second is his stable acting skills despite his young age. Nevertheless, some netizens have raised their concerns that Seo Woo Jin could become confused with his gender identity due to this project since he was dressed up as a girl with long hair.
Seo Woo Jin's mother responded with the concerns of some netizens and took to her instagram account to defend her and her son's decision. She expressed, "I can't stay quiet anymore and had to speak up. Since many people are worried about Woo Jin's gender identity, I'd like to explain. We know that not like other children of his age, Woo-jin is a smart kid who understands very well about what he is doing right now and why he plays the role of a girl. And when we were offered this project, we asked Woo-jin for his opinion, and he willingly said that he was OK and that he could do it well."
Seo Woo Jin perfectly portrayed Kim Tae-hee's daughter's role and received applause and positive feedback from the viewers.
