On June 18, VARO Entertainment announced through an official statement that they have signed an exclusive contract with actress Kim Si-ah.

VARO Entertainment, Kim Si-ah's new partner, shared, "We are truly delighted to build a relationship with Kim Si-ah, who has proven her unrivaled acting skills since her debut by beating 600-to-1 odds." They added, "Despite her young age, Kim Si-ah possesses deep emotional acting skills and the power to dominate the screen. As a reliable partner, we will do our absolute best to provide full support so she can continue to unleash her limitless talent."

Kim Si-ah made a brilliant debut as a child actress in the 2018 film 'Miss Baek', beating overwhelming odds of 600-to-1. At the time, she delivered a delicate yet explosive performance that was hard to believe came from a child actor. This earned her the Best Child Actor award at the 29th Golden Cinematography Awards and the Best Actress award at the 3rd Sharm El Sheikh Asian Film Festival, leaving a strong impression on the film industry.

Since then, she has actively crossed between the big screen and OTT platforms, firmly establishing herself as a next-generation rising star through works such as the film 'The House of Us', as well as Netflix original series 'Kill Boksoon', 'Kingdom: Ashin of the North', 'Sweet Home' Seasons 2 and 3, and 'If Wishes Could Kill'.

Preparing for a new leap with her new agency, Kim Si-ah will showcase another acting transformation in the upcoming film 'Summer's Camera', set to be released on June 24. 'Summer's Camera' tells the story of Yeoreum (played by Kim Si-ah), who picks up a camera left behind by her late father, Jihoon, to take photos of Yeonwoo, her first love. However, she faces confusion as she encounters memories of her father's high school days. Kim Si-ah is expected to deliver her signature fresh and deep emotional performance as the title character, Yeoreum.

Meanwhile, VARO Entertainment, which Kim Si-ah has joined, is a comprehensive entertainment group encompassing management as well as film and drama production. It is home to actors Jin Goo, Byeon Wooseok, Gong Seung-yeon, Park Jung-woo, Lee You-mi, Lee Hong-nae, Lee Soo-kyung, Park Moon-ah, and Lee Chae-min.
