Kim Hyo-jin

Kim Hyo-jin (Hangul: 김효진; born February 10, 1984) is a South Korean actress. Kim began her career modeling in teen magazines, and made her acting debut in 1999. She is most well-known for her roles as the youngest of the three sisters in sex comedy film Everybody Has Secrets and as the female lead character in family drama I Am Happy. Though she continues to act in mainstream films and TV dramas, in recent years Kim has become more adventurous in her choice of projects. Aside from acting in queer cinema, she has starred in two plays - A Midsummer Night's Dream and Fool for Love. In 2011 Kim was cast in the upcoming Korea-China-Japan produced TV series Strangers 6, replacing Han Chae-young. Strangers 6 will tell the story of six individuals from Korea, Japan and China assigned by the highest level authorities of their respective countries to protect the three countries' joint economic area from being infiltrated by a hostile organization. Kim and her co-star Oh Ji-ho were subsequently named promotional ambassadors for the city of Yeosu in South Jeolla Province where part of the drama will be shot. Filming has also begun in Japan, after a three-month delay caused by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Kim has been in a relationship with actor-director Yoo Ji-tae since 2006. They are among the very few Korean star couples who have openly admitted their dating status. They announced their engagement in August 2011, and are planning to wed on December 2, 2011. She reportedly turned down a movie role to prepare for her upcoming nuptials.
