}} Kang Hye-jung (born January 4, 1982) is a South Korean actress. Kang first gained acting recognition for her role in the arthouse film ''Nabi'' (2001), then two years later, she shot to stardom in 2003 through Park Chan-wook's revenge thriller ''Oldboy''. She continued giving risky performances in the next several years which drew further critical acclaim, notably in Han Jae-rim's relationship drama ''Rules of Dating'' (2005), and Park Kwang-hyun's Korean War comedy ''Welcome to Dongmakgol'' (2005). In recent years, Kang has starred in more conventional melodramas such as ''Herb'' (2007) and ''Girlfriends'' (2009), which have been less successful with audiences and critics. == Career == Kang Hye-jung began working as a model in her first year of high school, and throughout the late 1990s she appeared in small roles in TV dramas and sitcoms such as ''Jump'' and ''Nonstop 3''. Her first film role was in Moon Seung-wook's arthouse/sci-fi film ''Nabi'', for which she won a Best Actress award at the Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival. Following this she appeared in a short film by Song Il-gon titled ''Flush'' as well as an internet film ''Naebang-nebang''.〔("Actors and Actresses of Korean Cinema: Gang Hye-jung" ). Koreanfilm.org. Retrieved 2012-11-04.〕 Kang's first major hit film was opposite Choi Min-sik in the modern-day classic ''Oldboy'' by Park Chan-wook. Her portrayal of the character Mi-do won her considerable attention both domestically and abroad, and she also picked up acting honors from the Grand Bell Awards and Pusan Film Critics Association. The following year she also appeared in ''Cut'', Park's 30-minute contribution to the omnibus horror film ''Three... Extremes''.〔 It was in 2005, however, that Kang established herself as a star outside of her appearance in ''Oldboy''. The sharp-edged relationship drama ''Rules of Dating'', in which she starred opposite Park Hae-il, proved to be an unexpected hit, and then two months later she took a small but central role in box office megahit ''Welcome to Dongmakgol''.〔〔("A Rising Star in Her Own Right" ).

She said she chose ''Why Did You Come to My House?'' hoping to "expand the realms" of her lovelorn stalker character; the director said she had written the script with Kang in mind from the beginning.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/culturesports/2009/04/01/8/0703000000AEN20090401001600315F.HTML )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.kbs.co.kr/hallyu/entertainment_news_view.html?No=69 )〕 In ''Kiss Me, Kill Me'', she played a woman who, after several failed suicide attempts, hires a professional assassin (Shin Hyun-joon) to kill her, but he falls in love with her instead.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/culturesports/2009/10/27/56/0703000000AEN20091027001200315F.HTML )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.beyondhollywood.com/kiss-me-kill-me-2009-movie-review/ )〕 Known for taking risky roles, Kang gradually started going off the predictable path that the public expected her to take.

December 17, 2009.〕 Kang said that this career shift reflects the limited number of interesting scripts that she receives, as well as her calmer, softer state of mind after settling down.〔("Kang Hye-jeong's Movie Picks" ). 10Asia.
