Actress Kim Yoo-jung showcased a perfect image transformation on the red carpet.
On December 29, 2023, Kim Yoo-jung served as the MC at the '2023 SBS Drama Awards' held at SBS Prism Tower in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.
On this day, Kim Yoo-jung chose a classic black dress. The off-shoulder design that revealed her shoulders combined with the velvet material created a refined yet elegant atmosphere.
The voluminous mermaid silhouette emphasized both Kim Yoo-jung's pure beauty and her alluring charm. The long hair with waves and understated makeup perfectly captured the neat image of the 'nation's little sister.'
However, just two years later, Kim Yoo-jung surprised fans with a completely different look. On the 17th, at the 30th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) red carpet held at the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae-gu, Busan, Kim Yoo-jung appeared in a deep navy blue long dress. While it seemed to wrap her entire body, a daring slit that rose up to her left thigh revealed her legs with every step she took. The striking silhouette, which daringly exposed her hip line, was paired with black long boots, creating an intense and confident atmosphere.
Unlike the elegant black dress of 2023, the navy dress of 2025 showcased mature charisma and femininity. Kim Yoo-jung, who had been called the 'nation's little sister' since her child actor days, completely shed her pure image on this red carpet and confidently established herself as a mature 26-year-old actress.
Insiders expressed their surprise, stating, "This was the moment Kim Yoo-jung announced that she has shed her child actor image and has risen as a mature actress."
