Career

2001–2008: Career beginnings

Hwang Jung-eum debuted with K-pop girl group Sugar in 2001 as a lead vocalist, but left the group in 2004 to pursue a solo career.[1][2] Hwang appeared as a recurring guest on the variety show Love Letter from 2004 to 2006, in which her onscreen pairing with singer Kim Jong-min became popular. She officially made her acting debut in the television drama The Person I Love in 2007.[3][4]

2009–2014: Rising popularity as a television actress

In 2009, she and real-life boyfriend Kim Yong-jun (of boy band SG Wannabe) joined the second season of reality dating show We Got Married as the first real-life couple to be featured on the show.[5] Later that year, Hwang rose to mainstream stardom when she appeared in the daily sitcom High Kick Through the Roof.[6][7][8] Her portrayal of a somewhat clumsy, but energetic college student, who is confident despite lacking money and opportunities resonated with many young adult viewers due to its accurate depiction of college students' sentiments.[9] Regarding this breakout in her acting career, Hwang said:

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

You need to do what you enjoy doing as well as finding what is right for you. I realized my passion for acting during High Kick. You tend to do well when you get compliments and with director Kim Byung Wook encouraging me, I had fun acting. And because it was fun, I was able to achieve good results.[10]

In 2013, Hwang was cast in crime comedy Incarnation of Money.[10][25] In the same year, she starred in the hit melodrama crime series Secret Love, which achieved high TV viewership ratings. The drama resulted in Hwang winning multiple awards at the 2013 KBS Drama Awards.[26][27] The following year she led the show Endless Love, a period drama set in the 1980s–1990s.[28][29]

2015–present: Continued success

In 2015, Hwang reunited with some of her former costars, namely Ji Sung from Secret Love, for the romantic comedy series Kill Me, Heal Me;[30][31] then with Park Seo-joon from Kill Me, Heal Me and Go Joon-hee from Listen to My Heart for another romantic comedy, She Was Pretty.[32][33] Both dramas were commercial successes and solidified her popularity outside South Korea, in countries like China.[34] Ize magazine named her as one of the 10 Persons of the Year[35] and Hwang was selected as Gallup Korea's Television Actor of the Year in 2015.[36] The two MBC series won Hwang multiple awards at the 2015 MBC Drama Awards.[37]
