1. Early life
Kim was born as Kim Soo-hyun in South Korea, on 25 January 1985.[1] She spent six years of her childhood in the United States before returning to South Korea.[2] Her dream in middle school was to become an international lawyer, and in high school she hoped to become a TV anchor. She was inspired by watching CNN's headline news anchor Karuna Shinsho in Asia.[3] She completed her studies abroad to continue her dream of becoming an anchor and entered Ewha Womans University as an International Studies (DIS) major. While enrolled, she worked as a reporter and announcer for three years in the school's English-language newspaper, Ewha Voice.[4] She also worked as an intern reporter for The Korea Times and Arirang TV.[3]
2. Career
Kim's interests in music, film, and other entertainment led her to participate in a Korea-China modeling competition in 2005,[4][5] which she won top prize in. Kim was the first winner of the award who had never worked as a model.
Producer Oh Se-kang saw Kim on a morning talk show, which led to her acting debut in the television series Queen of the Game (2006).[6] Kim plays Park Joo-won, a friend of Lee Shin-jeon (Joo Jin-mo) and a law firm's international lawyer who loves him.[4] For the drama, she won the New Star award at the 2006 SBS Awards for Acting.[7]
Kim went on to appear in supporting roles in medical drama Brain (2011) and spy comedy 7th Grade Civil Servant (2013), as well as a leading role in the sitcom Standby (2012). Kim gained international attention for her roles in Marco Polo (2014) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).[8]

In 2019, Italian fashion house Max Mara invited her to attend the annual "Women in Film Gala", which has advocated for women and gender equality in the entertainment industry since 1973.[10] Hence, she became the first Korean actress to attend that event.[11]
In March 2021, Kim signed with new agency YG Entertainment.[12]
In 2023, Kim appeared in the 1945 historical drama Gyeongseong Creature, which aired on Netflix.[13]
