Acting
Born November 24, 1985, Bucheon, South Korea
She has positive energy that allows her to smile her way out of any troubles in the world. She made her name as an actress starring as a daughter of an womanizing editor in Jealousy ls My Middle Name. Rather than being a shining star, KIM has developed her acting career by winning awards for her roles in independent movies. She broadened her acting spectrum by portraying young Jung-hye in This Charming Girl, a razor-wielding high school girl in The City of Violence, a young girl named Sodan in Midnight Ballad for Ghost Theater, whose fresh smile brightened up gloomy ghosts in a run-down theater. KIM showed off her acting potential in Breathless directed by YANG Ik-june. The movie has received Rotterdam Tiger Award, the best film awards, best actor and actress awards from international film festivals. She portrayed a girl who warmed up to a creepy violent thug with deep inner suffering. She played a lesbian girl Ashamed selected to the Panorama section in Berlin Film Festival 2011. She starred as a girl who met a new world during her travel with a Japanese woman in Magic & Loss directed by a Malaysian director LIM Kahwai. KIM next appeared in the indies The Sunshine Boys and the well-regarded Pluto, which both debuted at the Busan International Film Festival in 2012. KIM returned to Japan for a trio of films in 2013/14, A Pale Woman, It’s a Beautiful Day and A Record of Sweet Murder. In 2014, KIM also appeared in a supporting role in the period action film Kundo: Age of the Rampant and was also the lead in the indie film The Liar, which debuted at the Busan International Film Festival.
