Park Ha Sun plays Kwon Sang Woo's dedicated wife in "Temptation" and just finished playing Park Yoochun's sidekick in the political action thriller "Three Days." Before that she was the love of Lee Jun Ki's life in "Two Weeks."
That's a lot of attractive leading men in one year. What else should you know about this actress? Here are some facts.
1. Despite her current popularity, she once went eight months once without landing a single role. She debuted in 2005 with the SBS drama "Love Needs Miracle" and played Queen Inhyun in "Dong Yi" but for a while she failed to land a role.
"I was pretty confident about myself and my looks at first, but after my debut I realized that I was nothing special," she told the Chosun Ilbo. "At one point, I didn't win any auditions for eight straight months."
2. But she did not give up. Her hobby of rock climbing may offer a clue to just how determined she can be. She likes a challenge and plans to keep on acting even if she's not popular.
"I'm good at rock climbing and things that require physical work. I want to make action and horror movies, too. I will try my hand at anything, but the key is to stick at things. Popularity may be fleeting, but acting is something I can do forever."
She decided to take the role in "Temptation" because the script was compelling her character Na Hong Joo "is a lovely woman."
3. She does not like to drink. On "MBC's Come To Play" she explained that when she drinks her personality dramatically transforms and it's not for the better.
"I have had two blackouts in my life, and I heard that I hit and cursed," said Park Ha Sun. "I heard that I went to the restroom by stepping over a guy I didn't like."
4. She went to action school before taking on the role of police officer Yoon Bo Won in "Three Days." She researched her character by reading books and visiting police stations, then went to action school so she could do her own scenes without a stuntwoman.
5. Last year she was rumored to be dating actor Ryu Duk Hwan but denied it. She also once said that her ideal type was Park Yoochun's "Three Days" character Han Tae Kyung. She has longed to work with the actor since she saw him in "Rooftop Prince."
