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

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
