	Actors - Jun Ji-hyun

Jun Ji-hyun (born 30 October 1981, Seoul, South Korea) is a Korean actress and model.

Ji Hyun studied in the Department of Theater and Film at Dongguk University and began her career as a model in 1997. After appearing in a number of TV sitcoms, her movie debut came in White Valentine
(1999). This was followed by a role in Il Mare
(2000), in which the handsomely shot scenes at Ganghwa proved to be one of several factors contributing to the success of the movie. Her biggest breakthrough was in My Sassy Girl
(2001), a romantic comedy that won her the Best Actress award at the Daejong Film Festival in 2002. An American remake of the film is expected in 2006.

Since her debut as a model for Echo, Ji Hyun has modelled many fashion companies and more recently, mobile phones and iPod. Some of her more popular product endorsements include Giordano, KFC and Samsung. In 2004, one of her Giordano adverts was considered too sexy by the censors and was banned from Korean TV. In the same year, she was voted as having the "Best Butt in Asia", polling 41% of the total votes, beating Lee Hyo-ri who only garnered 30% of the votes.

The successful romantic comedy Windstruck (2004), co-starring Jang Hyuk, reunited her with the director of My Sassy Girl
, Kwak Jae Young.
