RHEE Min-jung stepped into the world of acting relatively late compared to other actors. She was an unknown actress who started in theatre, then played minor roles in films like <Someone Special> (2004) and <White Night> (2009) and television dramas. Then in 2009, she became better known after her portrayal of a wealthy heiress in a TV drama called ‘Boys over Flowers’, based on a popular Japanese manga of the same title. Through this drama RHEE obtained an image of a modern city girl, which went hand-in-hand with her big eyes and sophisticated looks. RHEE’s honest and confident charisma also landed her the role in 2010 romantic comedy <Cyrano Agency>. RHEE plays the female lead in <Love On-Air>, to be released in January 2012. She plays the role of Jin-ah, a faded idol star who goes through ups and downs in her life while hosting a radio show. RHEE is able to excel mainly in melodramas and romantic comedy genres because she has one of the prettiest faces out of all Korean actresses in business today.
