Born in 1972, KIM Ji-soo debuted in 1992, when she passed an open audition from public broadcaster SBS and joined the cast of the TV series <Travel Agency 8080>. Following an award-winning performance in the series <See and See Again> in 1998 and a long list of credits through the 1990s, she decides to move into films, with a first role as the lead of LEE Yoon-ki’s <This Charming Girl> (2004). KIM, who portrayed the ordinary everyday life of a young woman who struggled with extreme loneliness, was immediately recognized as a talented movie actress, picking up Best New Actress at the Blue Dragon Awards as well as Best Actress at the Singapore International Film Festival. Yet, she didn’t want to confine her following career to the film industry, and instead consolidated her established presence in the TV screens. She played a woman resisting any romance because of huge debt inherited from her father in <Solace> (2006) and a victim of the Sampoong Department Store collapse in <Traces of Love> (2006). She then made a strong impression in television as the lead character of the drama series <Women of the Sun> (2008). A mainstay of Korean television in the 2010s, she came back in film in 2014, eight years later after her last role, with a cameo in <Gangnam Blues>. In 2019, she could be seen as part of the main cast of the courtroom drama film <Intimate Strangers> (2018).
