    Currently, Yerin's only film credit is listed as Sissy – a 2022 independent horror-thriller starring Aisha Dee, Emily De Margheriti and Daniel Monks. According to IMDb , Yerin has finished shooting the sci-fi series and prequel, Dune: Prophecy . She is billed as young Kasha.

    Famous family

    Yerin isn't the only celebrity in her family. Her grandmother, Son Sook, is a celebrated South Korean actress and former politician. Renowned for her work on stage, Son has won countless Baeksang Arts Awards, as well as an MBC Drama Award.

    "My grandma's an actor and my parents met each other in acting school, so I've always grown up with this knowledge of what theatre and screen are, so that's something I was always interested in," Yerin told Vogue Australia in November 2019.

    Revealing the sage advice that her grandmother gave to her, Yerin recalled how Son had told her to "Be brave, be courageous and stand up for what you believe in."
