Seo Sumin Debuts as So Ji-sub's Daughter

SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "The Atypical Family" is a hit, recording a viewership rating of 15.7% in just two episodes, and newcomer Seo Su-min, who plays So Ji-sub's daughter in the drama, is drawing significant attention. Seo Su-min made her acting debut in "The Atypical Family" as Kim Min-ji, the only daughter of Director Kim (played by So Ji-sub). Her character experiences school bullying and is subsequently kidnapped, which serves as the crucial catalyst for Director Kim, a seemingly ordinary office worker, to awaken his instincts as a former special agent.

Despite it being her first project, Seo Su-min delivered a stable performance, naturally portraying the characteristic prickliness, anxiety, and tender affection for her father that are unique to a teenage girl. Her emotional scene, where she breaks down after witnessing her father kneeling in her place at school, received high praise from viewers. Seo Su-min, born in 2007, is under the agency Y1 Entertainment. Although "The Atypical Family" is her first drama, she has already gained recognition on YouTube and social media.

Her personal YouTube channel, launched last year, has surpassed 3 million views on its 59-second short-form videos, and her appearance on the beauty creator channel "Haeminsunsaeng" has garnered 2 million views. At the time, Seo Su-min mentioned that she was studying acting and had chosen the path of an actress despite receiving offers from major entertainment companies. Off-screen, So Ji-sub continued to showcase their "father-daughter chemistry" by releasing behind-the-scenes photos taken with Seo Su-min.

"The Atypical Family" achieved the highest ratings for an SBS drama this year, recording a nationwide viewership rating of 15.7% within its first two episodes. The highest momentary rating soared to 18.1%, and its 2049 viewership rating also ranked first among all Saturday programs and all weekly programs across all channels, continuing its success. Online, praise is pouring in for Seo Su-min's natural acting skills, her presence, and her "father-daughter chemistry" with So Ji-sub.

SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "The Atypical Family," based on a webtoon of the same name, tells the story of an ordinary father who becomes a dangerous man to protect his daughter. Seo Su-min plays Kim Min-ji, the daughter of the protagonist Director Kim (So Ji-sub), and her character is the catalyst that causes him to reveal his past. Seo Su-min portrayed her character with a prickly demeanor towards her father and a fluttering heart towards her crush. She also naturally handled the scene where she endured bullying before breaking down upon seeing her father kneel in her place.
