Kim Go-eun (Korean김고은; born July 2, 1991) is a South Korean actress. She debuted in the film Eungyo (2012) where she won several Best New Actress awards in South Korea. She is also known for her role in the television series Cheese in the Trap (2016), Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016–2017), Yumi's Cells (2021–2022), and Little Women (2022), as well as the films Coin Locker Girl (2015), Hero (2022), and Exhuma (2024).

Early life and education[edit]

Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1991 and in 1994, at the age of three, she moved with her family to Beijing, China. She lived there for 10 years which led to her becoming fluent in Mandarin.[2] After watching Chen Kaige's Together many times, Kim decided she wanted to become a filmmaker, and was led to theater by chance. Upon returning to South Korea, she attended Kaywon High School of the Arts, and went on to study drama at the Korea National University of Arts.[3][4]

Director Jung Ji-woo commented on Kim, saying, "She is naturally curious and brave. She's strong in a sense that she isn't influenced easily. She doesn't do things just because everyone else does it."[5]

Career[edit]

2012: A Muse and critical acclaim[edit]

In 2012, Kim was catapulted from obscurity to the center of much media buzz when she was cast as Eun-gyo, a 17-year-old high school student who awakens the lust of two men, in A Muse.[6][7][8][9] Her performance swept the Best New Actress awards that year.

The 21-year-old had never appeared in a film or TV drama before, not even in a minor role; she had only previously acted in student productions or school plays. She met A Muse director Jung Ji-woo through a circle of friends and was not even aware that auditions for the film were being held.[10][unreliable source?] "I ended up having an audition after chatting with the director. There wasn't even any time for me to prepare," Kim recalled. She was chosen from among some 300 actresses who auditioned for the part. Jung said Kim grew up through the film, saying, "Her facial expressions in the last few scenes of the film are strikingly different from the ones in the beginning. I wanted to capture the moments when she realizes how precious she is to herself and to others," adding that she showed off qualities that can only be found in someone who is unaware of her own beauty and what she is capable of.[5]

Describing her feelings about her profession, Kim said, "When I stood on the stage for the first time, I was so nervous that I thought it would be so hard if I had to do this for the rest of my life. But from my second performance, I felt ecstatic, as if I had wings on my back, and I never wanted to step off the stage. I keep on acting because I want to hold on to that feeling."[3] Regarding her decision to limit her appearance in advertisements, she said, "I never thought about my image or potential endorsement deals when choosing the next film project. What worries me is what impact my appearance in commercials would have on my roles."[11]

2013–2015: Hiatus and return to film[edit]

Despite many offers following A Muse, Kim took a break from acting and went back to college to complete her degree. She returned to the screen in 2014, showcasing her versatility in the thriller Monster where she played a developmentally disabled woman whose younger sister is murdered by a ruthless serial killer; her grief and rage drives her almost psychotic, and she plans her revenge.[12][13][14][15]

In 2015, she and Kim Hye-soo were cast in Coin Locker Girl, a female-driven thriller based on the 1980 Japanese novel Coin Locker Babies. She was invited to the 2015 Festival de Cannes with the director and cast for this film, her first time there.[16][17] Kim next starred in martial arts period drama Memories of the Sword, in which she acted opposite her longtime role model, actress Jeon Do-yeon.[18][19][20] This was followed by courtroom film The Advocate: A Missing Body, where she played an aggressive prosecutor;[21] and family film Canola, about a reunion between a girl and her grandmother alongside veteran actress Youn Yuh-jung.[22][23]

2016–present: Television debut and popularity[edit]

Kim made her television debut in the hit cable series Cheese in the Trap, based on the webtoon of the same title.[24][25][26] She also contributed her vocals in the track "Attraction" by Tearliner for the drama's OST.[27] Kim won the Baeksang Arts Award for Best New Actress Television for her performance.[28] Later in 2016, she co-starred in Kim Eun-sook's megahit fantasy drama Guardian: The Lonely and Great God alongside Gong Yoo.[29] The drama was a pan-Asia hit, and received critical acclaim, becoming a cultural phenomenon in South Korea.[30] It was also the first Korean cable drama to surpass 20% in ratings, and as of June 2021, it is the fifth-highest rated Korean drama in cable television history.[citation needed]

In 2018, Kim played a role as a secondary character in the film Sunset in My Hometown directed by Lee Joon-ik. For her role as a wild country girl, Kim gained 8 kg and learned a regional dialect.[31][32][33] The same year, she was cast in the period romance film Tune in for Love.[34]

In 2019, Kim was cast in the fantasy drama The King: Eternal Monarch. The series was considered one of the most anticipated series of the first half of 2020 due to its ensemble cast, renowned screenwriter, extensive publicity and more than 30 billion Won (US$25 million) production budget,[35][36] setting a record on broadcast of its first episode with SBS's highest Friday-Saturday drama premiere ratings and maintaining the No.1 spot on the weekly Wavve drama chart for eight consecutive weeks,[37][38] but receiving criticism for its screenplay, direction and performances which in turn led to lower-than-expected domestic popularity in Korea given that it was written by Kim Eun-sook.[39][40][41]

Kim in 2020

That same year she was cast in South Korea's first ever musical film Hero, which is based on the hit musical Youngwoong. The film is based on the life of activist An Jung-geun following the assassination of Itō Hirobumi, and Kim plays the role of a former Gungnyeo turned Geisha who becomes a part of the Korean independence movement.[42][43] The movie was originally scheduled to premiere in July 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[citation needed] It was finally released in December 2022 and grossed over $24 million at the domestic box office, making it South Korea's 6th highest grossing film of 2022.[44]

In 2021 and 2022, Kim starred in Korea's first live action animation, romantic comedy drama Yumi's Cells, a tvN TV series with two seasons based on the eponymous webtoon.[45] The drama received rave reviews; NME placed it on its list of 10 best Korean dramas of 2021.[46] Kim's performance in particular received widespread attention; India Today lauded her performance as "impeccable", writing, "She lets the character breathe and shine and makes it her own."[47]Cosmopolitan Philippines called Kim "a chameleon...[who] manages to create a great character out of her roles," and noted that she's "highly capable of displaying the nuances" in her character Yumi's emotional journey.[48]

Also in 2022, Kim starred in the TV series Little Women, loosely adapted from Louisa May Alcott's novel of the same name. It follows the story of three sisters who, after an unforeseen incident, chart their way out of poverty and find themselves in conflict with one of the country's richest and most influential families.[49] The show holds a perfect 100% rating on review aggregator platform Rotten Tomatoes.[50] Kim received widespread critical acclaim for her performance as the eldest sister, On In-ju.[51][52]

In 2024, Kim starred alongside actor Choi Min-sik in the occult-thriller film Exhuma, in which she plays a shaman. The film premiered at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, where it was screened in the Forum section. Upon release, it topped the South Korean weekend box office in its opening weekend and crossed 5 million admissions in a record-breaking 10 days.[53] As of March 2, 2024, it was the highest grossing film of 2024.[54] Kim received rave reviews from critics and fans alike. The Korean Herald extolled her "fine acting", calling her a "veteran actor" who "captivat[ed] the audience with her terror-inducing songs, oracles and prayers."[55]

Kim will next be seen in the film adaptation of the bestselling novel Love in the Big City by Park Sang-young. The film will focus on the first part of the novel, which follows the friendship between a "free-spirited" young woman and an HIV-positive gay man as they live together and traverse their love lives in modern-day Seoul.[56][57]

Others[edit]

Ambassador roles[edit]

In 2019, Kim was named as a Chanel Ambassador for South Korea, and was later selected to be one of the seven faces for Chanel's "J12 Turns 20" campaign in 2020.[58]

In 2019, Kim was appointed as an honorary ambassador for Korea's Ministry of Environment's Resource Circulation held at the Korea Press Center on August 30, 2019.[59]

Philanthropy[edit]

In April 2019, Kim donated ₩20 million (approx. US$17,460) for the victims in the Gangwon Province Wildfire.[citation needed] In late February 2020, the Korean NGO Good Neighbors published that she had made a donation of ₩100 million (approx. US$82,640) to provide 40,000 masks for low-income families in South Korea amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.[60] In honor of Korean National Children's day, she donated ₩50 million won (approx. $44,000) to the Children's Hospital of the Seoul National University Hospital on May 5, 2021.[citation needed]

On March 5, 2022, Kim donated ₩50 million to help villagers affected by the Uljin wildfire through the National Disaster Mitigation Association (Hope Bridge).[61] On August 11, 2022, Kim donated ₩50 million to help those affected by the 2022 South Korean floods through the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association.[62] To celebrated her 10th anniversary since her debut, Kim donated ₩100 million to Seoul National University Children's Hospital in October 2022.[63]

On February 9, 2023, Kim donated 30 million won to help 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake, by donating money through NGO specializing in children's rights worldwide.[64]
