HA Ji-won made her name through a series of surprisingly successful horror movies. But she soon broke her image as the queen of horror as she ventured out to new turf -- the sex comedy. <Sex Is Zero> directed by JK YOUN is rich in bizarre imagination. She rose to stardom and established herself as an actress who can stimulate box office sensation in genre movies. Starting with B-rated horror flicks, she emerged as a movie star and enjoyed a raft of movie offers. Then, she found her next big break in TV drama. She has joined the ranks of Korea’s top actresses with loyal followings for her dramas such as <Damo>, <What Happened in Bali>, and <Hwang Jin-i>. She is the one and only Korean actress who has worked all the way up from the bottom to the top. She is a hard-working actress who has achieved what seems impossible. She has the big box office hit <Haeundae> under her belt, has starred in the melodrama <Closer to Heaven> and portrayed a stuntwoman falling in love with a department store owner (HYUN Bin) in the TV drama <Secret Garden>. Although the highly anticipated 3D blockbuster <Sector 7> wasn’t quite the success that was hoped for, HA continues to dominate the screens. In 2012 she co-starred with BAE Doo-na as the legendary table tennis player HYUN Jung-hwa in <As One>, a film about the actual event surrounding the unified team of South and North Korea. She next appeared in the period action film <The Huntresses> with SON Ga-in and KANG Ye-won. In 2015 she stepped away from her sporty roles to play the love interest in the period drama <Chronicle of a Blood Merchant>. The sophomore directorial effort of star HA Jung-woo, HA Ji-won played his wife in the film based on the Chinese novel by YU Hua.
