Park Shin Hye

Park Shin Hye

Park Shin-Hye (Korean: 박신혜, born February 18, 1990) is a South Korean actress and model.

Shin-Hye is currently attending Seoul Young-Pa Girls’ High school. She debuted first in the 2003 Lee Seung-Hwan music video “Ggot - Flower.” In 2003 she received a Youth Award from the SBS Acting Awards.

Acting career

Park’s fame came when she played the younger version of the character Han Jung Suh in the popular Korean drama, Stairway to Heaven. She also starred in a drama series called Tree of Heaven which aired on SBS, starring her former co-star in Stairway to Heaven, Lee Wan. The show had decent ratings, and the reviews and criticism were mixed, but mostly positive. Many critics keyed on in her portrayal of the character Hana’s pain of loving her step brother Yoon-Suh Lee Wan as brilliantly done. It should also be noted that due to the age difference between her and Wan, romantic scenes such as kissing on the lips could not occur, as seen in the scenes in the show, where had it been an older actress, such scenes may have occurred. Tree of Heaven started with borderline mediocre ratings, as do many new Korean dramas do, but went on to finish very respectably, and gained a fan base in Korea, which further helped Park’s credibility and young career in acting. Since then, Park Shin-Hye has done many commercials (CF) and modeled for a number of Asian companies.

Through her roles and their requirements, Shin-Hye has displayed a instinctive talent for dancing and martial arts. She has also released a digital single, “Prayer”, a song she used to sing in the drama Tree of Heaven, however, the track was not released in the Official OST.

Current activities

Park recently made her big screen debut in the movie Hometown of Legends, a summer horror flick where she had 2 roles; One is of the main character, the other is of the ghost of the main character’s sister, who haunts the other sister after her death. Park was extremely happy to star in this movie, for she had always wanted to star in a period setting drama or movie.

Park Shin-Hye starred as one of the four main characters in Goong S, a spin off (not the sequel) to the wildly successful Goong. The series did not match the success of its original, and received borderline ratings. However, the drama was the most re-watched and replayed series in the first half of 2007, gaining fame after the first run.
