Im Soo-jung (born July 11, 1979) is a South Korean actress. After
modeling for teen magazines, Im made her acting breakthrough in Kim
Jee-woon's horror film A Tale of Two Sisters (2003), followed by the
popular television drama I'm Sorry, I Love You (2004). She has since
appeared in numerous films, notably Park Chan-wook's I'm a Cyborg, But
That's OK (2006), Hur Jin-ho's Happiness (2007), Lee Yoon-ki's Come
Rain, Come Shine (2011), and Min Kyu-dong's All About My Wife, for
which she won Best Actress at the 33rd Blue Dragon Film Awards.Im
Soo-jung made her debut in 1998 as a cover model for teen magazines.
She then moved onto acting and debuted in the teen drama School 4, but
it was Kim Jee-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 series I'm Sorry, I Love You catapulted her into
stardom. With Im 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.In recent years she began
shedding that image by taking on more adult roles, notable among them
Hur Jin-ho's romantic melodrama Happiness, Choi Dong-hoon's
blockbuster fantasy Jeon Woo-chi: The Taoist Wizard, romantic comedy
Finding Mr. Destiny, and Lee Yoon-ki's minimalist breakup indie Come
Rain, Come Shine. For her performance in All About My Wife, she won
Best Actress at the Blue Dragon Film Awards, and the Women in Film
Korea Awards.Im 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. 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.
