Career

Nam Sang-mi was working in a fast food restaurant near Hanyang University , Seoul in the fall of 2001 when someone posted her personal photos on the internet. Her popularity as an ulzzang led to her discovery as an actress. 

She made her debut in the 2003 MBC drama Love Letter, and began her acting career by taking small roles in movies, TV dramas, and commercials. Her first leading role came in the 2005 drama Sweet Spy. Regarding her horror film Possessed , Nam said of the role, “The moment I read the script, I wanted this part badly. After such a long time away from films, it excited me, and I can show a completely different side than I’ve

shown in dramas.” 

After starring in close friend Goo Hye-sun 's short film You , Goo cast her as the leading lady of her second feature film The Peach Tree . 

Other activities

In 2008 Cyworld featured a "Nam Sang-mi font" based on her handwriting.

It was used on that internet portal and for mobile phones, eventually

expanding later that year to other online services.
