Korea's good girl gains fame only when she plays bad girl


Tae Hee and brother Lee Wan are close to each other. --AP

TO many of her countrymen, Kim Tae Hee is the perfect Korean woman.

Not only is she a sweet-natured beauty, but she's also smart - she attends Korea's own Harvard, Seoul National University, majoring in clothing and textile.

But the irony is this: Few noticed the 25-year-old actress until she played a scheming villain in the popular drama Stairway To Heaven last year.

Her character is so wicked that she drives a car into her stepsister (Choi Ji Woo), so that she can get rid of her and snatch her boyfriend (Kwon Sang Woo).

'When I said that I would act as an evil girl, everyone around me tried to stop me from doing it,' Tae Hee told Donga Ilbo.

'But I did not want to lose this chance to play a leading role along with such top stars as Choi Ji Woo, Shin Hyun Jun and Kwon Sang Woo and producer Lee Jang Soo.'

That turned out to be her best career move since she debuted in 2001 in the Lee Young Ae movie Present. Tae Hee stole the thunder from the top stars and landed in celebrity heaven. It helped that Stairway was the third highest-rated drama in Korea last year, with average ratings of 38.4 per cent.

The drama will also make history in Singapore as the first Korean serial to be shown in a prime-time slot on Channel U, starting 10pm tonight . For Tae Hee, big advertisers and renowned producers alike have been knocking on her door since last year.

She had her own 'Smart Kim Tae Hee Phone' by LG Electronics and also won two leading roles in the dramas Forbidden Love and Love Story In Harvard.

'PERFECT BEAUTY'

Her name also emerged tops in several online polls, like 'perfect Korean beauty', 'ideal wife' and 'best summer date'.

Now, she has also conquered Hong Kong and Taiwan, after touring the two countries recently to promote Love In Harvard. Her impeccable manners and radiant smile impressed both fans and reporters.

But don't be too quick to conclude that beauty is her biggest weapon. She said once: 'To tell a star she is beautiful could be a compliment, but it could also be poison.

'It's important that you should... never lose balance in your life. I hope I can become an outstanding artiste, and not a flower that blooms just once.'

Tae Hee was quick to point out to the Taiwanese media that her image in Love In Harvard was just too flawless.

She plays a Harvard medical school student who dreams of practising in a village in Africa until she falls for a lawyer played by Kim Rae Won.

'My role is just way too good, that's why men want to marry me and take me home,' joked Tae Hee, who just ended a five-year relationship recently.

She also claimed that she is isn't a good elder sister.

The Busan-born star shares an apartment in Seoul with her younger brother, Lee Wan, 21, who is also an actor.

'Sometimes when I'm out too late, he'll call and ask where I am, then drive out to pick me up,' she told Taiwanese reporters. 'It feels like he's my older brother and he's disciplining me!'

The bond between the two siblings is obvious - but they deliberately kept their relation secret for a while.

That was after Lee Wan beat 200 other hopefuls to win a role in Stairway in late 2003.

He plays the teenage version of Tae Hee's older brother (Hyun Jun) in the show, an angst-ridden child.

Their surnames are also different as Lee Wan picked a stage name following their mother's surname. Apparently, he did not want to live in the shadow of his sister.

Now, the pair have joined forces for promotional projects. In April, they toured Switzerland as goodwill ambassadors of South Korea.

Proud of her brother's achievements, Tae Hee said: 'Now there are people who refer to me as Lee Wan's sister.'

* Stairway To Heaven debuts on Channel U at 10pm tonight. It is shown on Mondays and Tuesdays.

When I watched Stairway to Heaven, even though KTH was evil as Han Yoori, I still liked her! I always thought she was pretty... and now I'm watching Love Story in Harvard and I really like her ^__^ She's a great actress and she's beautiful- her brother is good looking too (the guy in STH that played the young Tae-Hwa)

Kim graduates

IT took six years but Kim Tae-hee can finally call herself a university graduate. Sin Chew Daily reported that the petite 25-year-old graduated last week from Seoul National University where she majored in fashion design.

The South Korean lass made her acting debut four years ago in the movie Li Wu (literally translated as Present) before trying her hand at television, appearing in Stairway in Heaven (where she played Choi Ji-woo’s evil stepsister) and Fox with Nine Tails.

To ensure that she graduated this year, Kim began focusing her attention on her studies after filming Love Story in Harvard. In the series, currently airing on 8TV, Kim plays a Harvard medical student.

“It felt great to be able to immerse myself in school work. Because there were so many people who cared for me, I didn’t feel the least bit tired. The only time that it got a bit awkward for me was when I received requests for autographs,” she said.

In an interview with the campus paper, National News, before graduating, Kim was quoted as saying that she would never forget her third year in university when she burnt the midnight oil to complete her assignments and took on the task of being the university’s skiing club team leader.

Kim Tae Hee: 2005 Graduate from Seoul University


After 6 Years, Kim Tae Hee Has Finally Graduated

Kim Tae Hee is a Harvard medical student in the Korean drama ¡§Love Story in Harvard¡¨. Yesterday, she finally graduated from Seoul University as a fashion major. In order to accommodate her entertainment and school career, she spent 6 years to get the graduation cap.

Kim Tae Hee enrolled in 1999 and filmed the movie ¡§Gift¡¨ in 2001. After that, she filmed dramas ¡§Stairway to Heaven¡¨, ¡§Love Story in Harvard¡¨, etc, almost letting her schooling to stop. To be able to graduate this year, after Kim Tae Hee filmed ¡§Love Story in Harvard¡¨, she spent all her energy on her schooling.

Kim Tae Hee said, ¡§I¡¦m really happy that I was able to focus all my energy on studying in the last semester of my college career. Because a lot of people cared about me, I didn¡¦t feel tired; only when I was studying for my tests and someone would ask for my autograph, I¡¦d feel a little uncomfortable.¡¨

Before she graduated, she did an interview with Seoul University¡¦s newspaper ¡§University News¡¨. She said during the interview, ¡§I will never forget the time when I was a junior and how I spent an entire year preparing for a fashion show and would stay up all night working. Also, the memories I have from being Seoul University¡¦s Girl¡¦s Skiing Club¡¦s president; for two winters we stayed at a snow resort and my members and I trained competition.¡¨

she's really pretty. big eyes and nice skin. can't wait to watch her next series.
lovealwaize
She is strikingly gorgeous. Even though she was evil in STH, I still couldn't stop staring at her. Those bigs eyes can be frightening or super sweet. She has improved a lot after STH. What a great actress.

I really didn't like LSIH because the storyline was sorta boring Tae Hee was great but... i didn't like Rae Won [I think that's his name tongue.gif] but if u want u can try out Gumiho Weh Jun aka Forbidden Love, she is the main character in there and I love her with Jo Hyun Jae hehe happy.gif in that series, she can act coldblood, warm heart, caring, happy etc... I love her in that series to death!! watch it like 3 times! happy.gif

I agree, even though I hated her guts in Stairways To Heaven she is starting to become one of my most favortie actress. I don`t usually say this but she looks freaking hot with Won Bin, maybe even hotter with him than my favorite actress Song Hye Kyo, I hope that they will do a drama together like the news says. I love her and Won Bin`s new CYON idea commercial, its so cute and funny!

i really didn't like her evil role in STH but she was definitely the prettiest actress in that drama (:

her role in LSIH was really superb! it was great to see how well she worked with kim rae won. wouldn't it be nice if they were together in real life?
syah4brit
er yea kth had great chemistry wif krw, even she herself said tht b4.

but if she does go out wif a celeb, i'd wan her wif won bin haha or hyun bin. maybe won bin would be better since he's older than her n yeah both look so good together in their cfs! i wan a drama of them, but muz wait for won bin to finish serving army 1st.
