Although the starting point of many Korean stars below is mostly lackluster supporting roles, after all their efforts, they have risen to the female lead. Some Korean movie actors are even more famous than the female lead they played in the past. For example, 4 famous women in the Korean film industry are below.

Han So Hee - Nam Ji Hyun

At the time of joining the 100 Days My Prince, the name Han So Hee was still a rather obscure name for the audience.

Because, at that time, they seemed to only focus on the sweet love of the main couple.

However, who would have thought that one day Han So Hee would be one of the most sought-after actors at the moment.

After causing a fever with a series of super products such as The World of the Married, My Name, etc., Han So Hee was even nominated for the prestigious Baeksang Queen Award.

Shin Hye Sun - Hwang Jung Eum

Surely not everyone knows that Shin Hye Sun was once "background" for Hwang Jung Eum in the blockbuster She Was Pretty.

In the drama, she plays the female lead's colleague Hye Jin (Hwang Jung Eum).

After a long time of struggling with supporting roles, the actress finally achieved success with her first female lead role in My Golden Life .

Thanks to that, she was gradually recognized as a "rating guarantee" through subsequent blockbuster series such as Still 17, Angel's Last Mission: Love, Mr. Queen .

Seo Hyun Jin - Moon Geun Young

Before becoming the heroine of thousands of people, "rom-com queen" Seo Hyun Jin once worked as a supporting villain next to Moon Geun Young in Goddess of Fire.

At that time, Moon Geun Young was a very popular name in the land of kimchi.

However, because of illness, the actress's career also plummeted. In contrast, Seo Hyun Jin continuously pocketed blockbusters like Another Miss Oh, Degree of Love, and now she is one of the real actresses.

Lee Se Young - Oh Yeon Seo

Both appeared in the blockbuster "The Journey Of Flower" , but now the careers of the female lead Oh Yeon Seo and the supporting woman Lee Se Young have many differences.

If Oh Yeon Seo almost "died the role" of Tripitaka, Lee Se Young has suddenly become a goddess with the blockbuster The Red Sleeve .

She was even nominated for the prestigious Queen's Award

IVE's Ahn Yujin just shared a sweet story about her friendship with aespa's Karina, and fans are loving the adorable details!

On January 28, Ahn Yujin appeared on Salon Drip 2 and got candid about how her friendship with Karina began.

During the show, Jang Do Yeon asked Ahn Yujin if she had ever talked to Karina, who is also a leader, about the struggles of being in charge after they performed on stage together.

Ahn Yujin revealed, “I’ve wanted to get closer to Karina for a while. I’ve focused on just becoming friends, so we didn’t really talk deeply yet, but I want to ask her more about it. Our teams are very different, but they’re all so amazing!”

When asked how she approached Karina, Ahn Yujin shyly admitted, “The first time we met was through a challenge. Karina’s team wanted to take photos with me, and I made sure to dress nicely. I was so nervous!"

She added, "I had two things I wanted to ask: ‘Can I call you unnie?’ and ‘Can I get your number?’ But I couldn’t bring myself to do it because there were just too many things on my mind. I wanted to talk well, dance well, and look good on camera.”

Ahn Yujin then explained that after a collaboration stage offer came up, she thought of Karina and even got her number through a mutual acquaintance. But, worried about making Karina feel uncomfortable, Ahn Yujin didn’t contact her right away. Instead, she waited until Karina contacted her first!

Ahn Yujin shared, “I heard Karina was talking about me, so I thought I should contact her. But then, she contacted me first,” looking genuinely touched. Jang Do Yeon teased, “You both are so cute! Are you getting close now?”

With a bright smile, Ahn Yujin responded, “Yes! We’ve decided to have a meal together soon.” She also thanked Karina for being so kind, especially when Karina texted her after practice, saying she had worked hard.

Ahn Yujin revealed, “Lately, I keep asking her if it’s okay to post pictures of us on social media,” showing just how strong their growing friendship is.
