Hey Suzumiya,
Kim Min-seon changed her name to Gyu-ri Kim this past year. If you click the link to her page under the notes section you can read why. There are now two contemporary Korean actresses with the name of Gyu-ri Kim - on AsianMediaWiki they are differentiated by their birth dates. Hope that clears it up. Cheers ...

In "33rd Man" the actress is Kim Min-seon (김민선) who plays Kim Mi-jin, not Gyu-ri Kim.
