Former SM Rookies trainee Lami has reappeared, sparking excitement among longtime K-Pop fans. Back then, she was widely known as the visual member. She was still in her early teens when she was introduced.
Recently in September 2025, Lami updated her personal social media with a series of gorgeous photoshoot images.

| Nate PannLami, whose real name is Kim Sung Kyung, first became known as one of the youngest members of SM Rookies, the pre-debut trainee team that introduced idols like Red Velvet’s Irene, NCT’s Mark, and aespa’s NingNing before their debuts. She was especially beloved for her striking beauty and charming personality, often appearing in promotional videos and rookie showcases.

| Nate Pann- F*ck, they should’ve debuted Lami in Hearts2Hearts. They’ve lost their touch.
- But why does she look better to me when she was in Rookies? She lost her chin as she got older.
- It’s a f*cking pity how they let kids like this rot in Rookies for years.
- Idk I feel like you guys hype her too much in particular.
Lai continues to work as an actress in the field, although she is still finding her footing. She has appeared in 2023’s The Night Has Come.
