Ku Hye Sun (Korean: 쿠혜순,
born November 9, 1984) is a South Korean actress,
singer, author and director. An admirer of Leonardo Da
Vinci, Ku also dabbles in directing,
writing, illustrating, singing and composing. She is best known for her role as
Geum Jan Di in the hit TV show Boys Over Flowers.
Ku entered the entertainment industry after gaining
popularity on the internet as an ulzzang.
She began her acting career in one-act dramas and the sitcomNonstop 5. She was also co-MC with Heechul of Super Junior on SBS's weekly live music show Inkigayo from
April 23, 2006 to February 18, 2007.
Ku soon rose to fame in the drama Pure in
Heart and surprised critics with her
performance in the historical drama The King and I.
She is most well known for portraying Geum Jan-di in the hit KBS drama Boys Over Flowers.
After a year in limbo with no broadcasting slot, her pre-produced
drama The Musical finally aired in September 2011. Ku
next starred as a female pilot in the SBS series Take Care of Us, Captain,followed
by the Taiwanese drama adaptation of
the manga Absolute Boyfriend.
Originally set to debut as a singer (supposedly in a
3-member girl group with 2NE1's Park Bom and Sandara Park), YG
Entertainment CEO Yang
Hyun-seokadvised Ku to pursue acting rather
than music. In recent years, she has displayed her vocal talents through Saranga (which
became the title song of Pure in
Heart), a cover of Shim Soo-bong's I
Don't Know Anything But Love (which played during a crucial scene
in Boys Over Flowers),
and a duet of Kim Gun Mo's
song Rain Falls on a Sleepless Night with Big Bang member Seungri on
the music talk show Lee Hana's
Peppermint. Ku has also composed an album
of New Age
musictitled Breath.
Ku wrote Tango, a semi-autobiographical novel
about a twenty-something woman's experience with love and relationships. The
book was a bestseller, selling 30,000 copies within a week. Its release
coincided with her first solo art exhibition, also titled Tango, in
July 2009 at La Mer Gallery, which attracted 10,000 visitors. The exhibition
featured around 40 of Ku's illustrations, some from her novel. She has
also done artwork for Gummy's
fourth album Comfort.
Ku made her official debut as a director through her short film The
Madonna (Korean title translates to The Cheerful Caretaker)
at the 2009 Puchon International Fantastic Film
Festival. In 2010 she wrote and
directed her first feature-length film Magic, followed by more
short films and trailers.
In 2011 Ku established her own company, Ku Hye-sun Film,
under which she will produce and film her projects, which offers her a measure
of legal/business protection. Her second directorial feature The Peach
Tree was the first film made by her
newly established production company. She said of directing, "It’s
tiring and grueling. At times you ask yourself, 'Why am I doing this?' But
movies have the ability to make you feel alive."
