Lim Soo-jung (Korean: 임수정; Hanja: 林秀晶; born on 11 July 1979) is a South Korean film and television actress.

Career

Lim Soo-jung made her debut in 1998 as a cover model for teen magazines. She then moved onto television and film, but it was Kim Ji-woon's 2003 stylish horror A Tale of Two Sisters that first drew her critical notice and newcomer awards. A year later, the hit KBS2 drama I'm Sorry, I Love You catapulted her into stardom. With Lim looking much younger than her age, those projects solidified her image as an eternal ingenue, as did touching character study ...ing, horse jockey film Lump Sugar and Park Chan-wook's surrealist I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK.[1]

In recent years she began shedding that image by taking on more adult roles,[2][3] notable among them Hur Jin-ho's romantic melodrama Happiness,[4][5] Choi Dong-hun's blockbuster fantasy Jeon Woo Chi,[6][7] and Lee Yoon-ki's minimalist breakup indie Come Rain, Come Shine.[8][9] She also starred in the romantic comedies Finding Mr. Destiny,[10][11] and All About My Wife.[12][13][14]

Lim and Lee Jung-jae played two artists in a post-apocalyptic environment in the short film El Fin del Mundo ("The End of the World"), which screened at the prestigious contemporary art exhibition dOCUMENTA.[15][16] She also acted opposite veteran Thai actor Sorapong Chatree in Aditya Assarat's short film Phuket, which was commissioned jointly by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Association of Tourism and Hotel Operators of Phuket.[17][18]

Lim was previously part of the SidusHQ agency, and is now managed by Key East Entertainment. Key East launched her official website in June 2012. According to the actress, the online space will be a place where she can converse with her fans directly.[19][20]
