    Early life[edit]

    Kim was born as Kim Soo-hyun in South Korea, on 25 January 1985.[4] She spent six years of her childhood in the United States before returning to South Korea.[5] Her dream in middle school was to become an international lawyer, and in high school she hoped to become a TV anchor. She was inspired by watching CNN's headline news anchor Karuna Shinsho in Asia.[6] She completed her studies abroad to continue her dream of becoming an anchor and entered Ewha Womans University as an International Studies (DIS) major. While enrolled, she worked as a reporter and announcer for three years in the school's English-language newspaper, Ewha Voice.[7] She also worked as an intern reporter for The Korea Times and Arirang TV.[6]

    Career[edit]

    Kim's interests in music, film, and other entertainment led her to participate in a Korea-China modeling competition in 2005,[7][8] which she won top prize in. Kim was the first winner of the award who had never worked as a model.

    Producer Oh Se-kang saw Kim on a morning talk show, which led to her acting debut in the television series Queen of the Game (2006).[9] Kim plays Park Joo-won, a friend of Lee Shin-jeon (Joo Jin-mo) and a law firm's international lawyer who loves him.[7] For the drama, she won the New Star award at the 2006 SBS Awards for Acting.[10]

    Kim went on to appear in supporting roles in medical drama Brain (2011) and spy comedy 7th Grade Civil Servant (2013), as well as a leading role in the sitcom Standby (2012). Kim gained international attention for her roles in Marco Polo (2014) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).[11]
