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

Former AOA member Kwon Mina has shared a deeply emotional and heartbreaking update with her fans.

On January 20, Kwon Mina took to Instagram to reveal some difficult news. "I have some upsetting and heartbreaking news to share", she wrote, explaining that her dog, Mochi, had been diagnosed with malignant cancer.

She shared that a lump had been growing on her dog’s leg for years, and despite undergoing several surgeries, it kept coming back. Sadly, the latest diagnosis confirmed it was cancerous.

Kwon Mina’s post continued, "The pain is expected to get worse, and the doctor told me to prepare myself to say goodbye to Mochi, as she will suffer a lot."

She added, "Today, I can’t stop crying, and my heart feels like it’s breaking. I’m looking into options like anesthesia, euthanasia, and funeral arrangements so that she can pass without pain."

She reached out to her followers for advice, asking, "If anyone knows a better solution, please let me know."

Kwon Mina debuted in 2012 as a member of the popular girl group AOA. The group achieved great success with hits like "Heart Attack," "Bingle Bangle," "Like a Cat," and "Miniskirt".

However, in 2020, Kwon Mina opened up about being bullied by her AOA members, leading to the group’s eventual disbandment.

In a more positive update, Kwon Mina also announced on January 15 that she has started a new chapter in her career.

She will be working as a consultant at a dermatology clinic near Sicheong Station, which is set to open in March, signaling her fresh start after a difficult year.

Fans have rallied around Kwon Mina with messages of support as she navigates this emotional time.
