A Liberal Arts graduate of Yeongdong Women's College, KIM Seo-hyung, born in Gangwon Province in 1973, won the Miss Gangwon pageant in 1992 and soon found her way onto the small screen, appearing in a pair of KBS shows in 1994. Her film career began in 2000 with the horror movie <The Record> and she has consistently performed since then, with credits in the melodrama <Over the Rainbow> (2002), the horror <Voice> (2005), RYOO Seung-wan’s action film <The City of Violence> (2006), the thriller <Black House> (2007) and the inspirational sports drama <A Barefoot Dream> in 2010. Despite all these appearances in well-known titles, it wasn’t until her complete reinvention as the main antagonist in drama series <Temptation of Wife> (2008-2009) that she finally made her name widely known by the general audience. She was next seen in a segment of the sci-fi omnibus <Doomsday Book> (2011) directed by both KIM Jee-woon and YIM Pil-sung, and performed again for RYOO Seung-wan in 2013’s hit spy thriller <The Berlin File>. In 2014, she appeared in the indie drama <Late Spring>, for which she was awarded Best Actress at the Madrid International Film Festival. Her best known role to international audiences came a few years later in <The Villainess>, one of the Midnight Screenings of Cannes Film Festival in 2017, in which she played the head of an enigmatic intelligence agency that recruits KIM Ok-vin. KIM has been experiencing a second career revival as of late thanks to her role as a wicked coordinator of the college entrance exams in the smash hit satirical series <Sky Castle> (2018-2019), which achieved the highest rating for a Korean series on a cable channel with 23.8%.
