Kim Tae Hee
Considered as one of South Korea's most beautiful women and CF queens, Kim Tae Hee captured the hearts of the public with her beauty and her undeniable acting skills during her breakthrough role in the 2003 "Stairway to Heaven."

With this, the "Hi Bye Mama" actress managed to enter the prestigious Seoul University and has an option to take either natural sciences or apparel studies. She, however, chose the latter and majored in fashion design.
