Seo Ji Hye 서지혜

From arirang homepage:

A face that's capable of being completely modern, and at the same time, radiate a timeless elegance. Add THAT on top of a unique acting style, and you've got actress Seo Ji-hye - 2006's greatest star prospect! She's today's STAR FOCUS focus!

We caught up with the lovely young star at the shoot of a construction-related commercial.
She was taking it easy and looked rested after a grueling 9 months working on the historical TV drama, “Shin Don.”

In the drama “Shin Don”, she played two roles, the regal Princess Noguk, of the Koryo Dynasty and a the servant of Shin Don, Banya. She spoke the old language of Korea - a feat as difficult as learning a second language.
After showing up in a variety of commercials, the newcomer's acting finesse surprised everyone.

One TV drama, two completely opposite roles... The charismatic Princess Noguk, and the innocent servantwoman, Banya.
For the newcomer Seo Ji-hye, her role in “Shin Don” was an amazing adventure. Not only because she had to digest two different characters, but especially because the drama itself was a difficult genre... traditional history.

Last year, Seo Ji-hye introduced herself to the nation as an actress, with her part in the horror movie series famous for introducing new faces.
In “Tales of High School Horror 4: Ghost Voice”. Seo was cast as the young female student who dies under strange circumstances and wanders around as a ghost.

Ever since her debut, this starlet had been cast in many commercials. Seo Ji-hye's debut into the entertainment industry began with a snack commercial. Her clean, refreshing image made her a favorite for advertisers.
Compared to her sweet, carefree image in her earlier years, how much had the star changed?

Having scaled the impassable cliff that is the acting industry, Seo Ji-hye did INDEED have a look in her eyes that was more relaxed, at ease, and more confident.
Surprisingly, despite her pretty looks and star status, she wasn't very popular with the boys.

Her open, easy-going manner is something that we can see in her work, as well. Seo Ji-hye was able to pull-off martial arts stunts, ride bareback on horses... any stunt that a man could do, she didn't hesitate to try herself.
With that kind of "go-for-it" attitude and no fear, what was she looking for in her next production?

This summer, she'll delight Korean households as a happy-go-lucky young woman with a spunky, playful personality. Already the public is showing interest in her upcoming drama...
We can't wait to see how her talent will develop - The name to watch for is SEO JI-HYE.
