Career

A year later in 2004, the hit KBS2 drama series I'm Sorry, I Love You catapulted her into stardom.[6][7] With Im looking much younger than her age, those projects solidified her image as an eternal ingenue, as did touching character study ...ing,[8] horse jockey film Lump Sugar,[9] and Park Chan-wook's surrealist I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK.[10]

In 2007, she began shedding that image by taking on more adult roles,[11] notable among them Hur Jin-ho's romantic melodrama Happiness,[12][13] Choi Dong-hoon's blockbuster fantasy Jeon Woo-chi: The Taoist Wizard,[14][15] romantic comedy Finding Mr. Destiny[16] and Lee Yoon-ki's minimalist breakup indie Come Rain, Come Shine.[17] For her performance in All About My Wife,[18][19] she won Best Actress at the Blue Dragon Film Awards,[20] and the Women in Film Korea Awards.[21][22]

Im and Lee Jung-jae played two artists in a post-apocalyptic environment in the short film El Fin del Mundo ("The End of the World"), which screened at the prestigious contemporary art exhibition dOCUMENTA.[23][24] She also acted opposite veteran Thai actor Sorapong Chatree in Aditya Assarat's short film Phuket, which was commissioned jointly by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Association of Tourism and Hotel Operators of Phuket.[25][26]

Im was previously part of the SidusHQ agency, but moved to being managed by KeyEast. KeyEast launched her official website in June 2012. According to the actress, the online space will be a place where she can converse with her fans directly.[27][28]

In October 2015, her contract with KeyEast expired and she decided to sign with new management agency YNK Entertainment.[32][33]

Im then starred in the female-centric indie film The Table directed by Kim Jong-kwan, which premiered at the 21st Busan International Film Festival.[34]
