'''Kim Hee-sun''' is a [[Korea]]n actress who has been acting in Korean TV dramas and films for over a decade. |

|||
Kim Hee-sun was born in [[Seoul]] on 25 February 1977. She debuted on TV as a year 11 student and later majored in Drama at [[Chung-Ang University]]. Since then she has acted in many TV dramas, becoming well known in [[South Korea]]. |
|||
In recent years, Kim has also gradually build up a career in film, beginning in 1997 with ''Repechage'' opposite [[Jang Dong-gun]]. Director [[Lee Kwang-hoon]] subsequently put her in his next film, ''Ghost in Love'' in 1999. Kim's most high-profile role to date has been in the big-budget martial arts fantasy ''Bichunmoo'', shot in China and released in the summer of 2000. Kim played the daughter of a Mongolian general in love with her childhood sweetheart. Although criticised for her acting in the film, it gave her more local and international exposure than any of her other films. The film cemented her position as one of Korea's leading actress not only in her home country, but also in [[China]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Taiwan]] and throughout [[South-east Asia]]. |
|||
In late 2001, Kim took on a completely different kind of role, cutting her hair short and starring as an animator in ''Wanee and Junah''. Although her acting in this film drew a favorable response from critics, the film itself was a flop at the box office. Kim Hee-sun is currently living in Seoul and is still popular as a model and presenter. She is renowned within the industry for her longevity as an actress. In 2003 she will co-star with Shin Ha-kyun in the film ''A Letter From Mars'' by Kim Jung-kwon, the director of ''Ditto''. She is popularly known as the "first beauty of South Korea". |
|||
Through acting and promotional work (such as for [[Samsung]]), Kim Hee-sun now has an income of some USD 7 million. It is rumoured that her next move will be to try to break into the [[Japanese]] market. |
