Eugene was born in Seoul, South Korea, but spent her childhood in Guam after moving there after elementary school. She returned
to Korea with her mother and younger sister sometime in high school, and
eventually graduated from Korea Kent Foreign School.
GIRL GROUP MEMBER
By way of an audition tape, Eugene was able to be part of a
music group for SM Entertainment in
South Korea, even though she was still in Guam. Debuting in 1997, S.E.S. became
one of the biggest Korean groups of all time, having the record for biggest
selling album by a female group in Korea. While in S.E.S., Eugene became known
for her beauty and was part of the reason why S.E.S. had many advertising
contracts. In fact, for certain print campaigns (like for Korean cosmetics
company Etude), Eugene had the leading role, being the focus of the
advertisements.
SOLO CAREER
After
the split of S.E.S. in 2002, Kim starred in four Korean dramas: Loving
You, Save The Last Dance for Me, Wonderful Life,
and I Really,
Really Like You. She also appeared in commercials
and advertisements, notably for Korean cosmetics company Cathy Cat. In
addition, she released two solo albums. My True Style, her first
album, has sold nearly 65,000 records and had one hit ballad, "The
Best". Her second album 810303 sold a disappointing
19,000 copies. Although sales were low, Eugene still had a very successful
single with "Windy", mostly due to her new "sexy" image
(compared to her previous girl next
door image). This song was
performed on all the music video programs in Korea for many months, in addition
to her second single. Promotions were stopped near the end of the year.
Eugene
made her theater debut in the musical adaptation of the film Innocent
Steps and
her film debut in Unstoppable Marriage.
After
taking on the lead roles in the dramas One Mom and Three Dads and Creating
Destiny, Eugene starred in the massive hit King of Baking, Kim Tak Goo.
In
2007 Eugene took over from Lee Hyori as
one of the co-hosts of the KBS variety show Happy Together Friends,
until the show was overhauled for a third season. After the success of her
previous programEugene’s Makeup Diary, cable style network O'live again
chose her as the host of new show Get It Beauty which began
airing in July 2010.
Eugene
has authored two books: Eugene's Beauty Secrets and Eugene's
Get It Beauty.
She
is co-president of the clothing brand byMOMO.
MARRIAGE
On
May 11, 2011, Eugene announced on her fansite that after a year and a half of
dating, she was getting married to Ki Tae-young,
her leading man in 2009's Creating Destiny. The couple later
held a joint press conference to discuss further details about their relationship
and wedding plans. The couple released their prenup pictorial a week
before the wedding. The couple married in a private wedding ceremony at
the Seoul Central Church in Anyang,
Gyeonggi-do, on July 23, 2011. Eugene's
dress was designed by renowned Filipino-French designer, Monique
Lhuillier.
