HAN Ji-min, who was born in 1982, got her start in the entertainment industry early, appearing in commercials and music videos by the time she was in high school. A few years later she broke into the show business in 2003 with minor roles in the hit series <All In> and <Dae Jang Geum>, and gained wider recognition with her take in the sensational hit series <Resurrection> (2005). She appeared in her first film, <Blue Swallow>, in 2005. A frequent presence on screen as a series star, TV presenter and movie star, HAN is one of the most popular actresses in Korea. HAN is also a Social Welfare Major from the Seoul Women’s University. She appeared in the films <Cadaver> (2007) and <Detective K: Secret of the Virtuous Widow> (2010), but she really broke out as a silver screen actress in 2014, following her starring roles in the romcom <The Plan Man> (2013) alongside JUNG Jae-young and the period potboiler <The Fatal Encounter> (2014) with HYUN Bin. HAN’s next appearance was in <Salut d’Amour> (2014), the first drama from blockbuster helmer KANG Je-kyu. She then reunited with her <The Fatal Encounter> co-star HYUN Bin in the series <Hyde, Jekyll, Me> in 2015 before playing a Korean independence fighter in KIM Jee-woon’s critically acclaimed <The Age of Shadows> (2016). In 2017, HAN broke out of the quirky love interest and femme fatale molds by taking on the titular role of <Miss Baek> (2017), playing an ex-convict trying to run away from her past. Her performance received outstanding acclaim from critics and audiences alike, and HAN ultimately swept the award season, picking up Best Actress Awards at the Blue Dragon Film Awards and the Korean Association of Film Critics Awards among others.Less
