KIM Yun-jin’s breakthrough debut came in the action blockbuster <Swiri> where she plays a secret agent from North Korea. The role earned her huge popularity as a representation of “female warrior.” But she did not go beyond the image as a strong woman for quite a long time. She fights against the world in <The Legend of Ginko> and this time she holds a bow, not a gun, in her hand. She plays the intellectual, cool-headed criminologist in <Yesterday>. She always wanted to broaden her acting spectrum and decided to stray from her signature image by taking the lead role in <Ardor>. Her ripe, mellow beauty was accentuated in the film as she portrayed Miheun, the woman cheating on her husband as revenge for his infidelity but ending up desiring more as the relationship developed. Turning eyes to Hollywood, KIM signed a contract with a major management firm in the US. She made a successful debut in the US appearing in <Lost>. In the popular ABC TV series aired across the world, KIM played Sunny, the Korean woman stranded on the mysterious tropical island. KIM is reaching out to the worldwide audience. While shooting <Lost> in the US, she continued adding domestic films to her filmography. She has proved her acting caliber and commercial viability playing the lead roles in <7 Days>, <Harmony>, and <Heart is Beating>. Next for KIM was the ensemble thriller <The Neighbors> (2012), based on a webcomic by KANG Full. In 2014, KIM played opposite HWANG Jung-min in JK YOUN’s smash hit blockbuster, globe-hopping melodrama< Ode to My Father>, which became the second most successful film of all time. Less
