Within a year 'main stream' Kim Soo Hyun's status has changed completely.
He is a part of the cast of the highly anticipated movie 'The Thieves.' Last June when the production of 'The Thieves' was starting up, Kim Soo Hyun was an actor who has just started acting. Through the drama 'Dream High' he gained many fans but it was not at a scale where he would be able to work with the cast of 'The Thieves' which consist of Kim Yoon Suk, Kim Hye Soo, Lee Jung Jae, Jun Ji Hyun, Kim Hae Sook and Oh Dal Soo.
In the first press conference for the movie Kim Soo Hyun stated "I can't believe I'm sitting here with all these great actors. At first when the cast was sitting down I felt much pressured. Through this movie and working with them I gained a lot of tips and learned a lot."
Within the time frame of a year Kim Soo Hyun is receiving the treatment of a top star. Through the drama 'The Moon The Embraces The Sun' he has rose to the rankings of a top star. After his drama 'The Moon That Embraces the Sun,' he has become a busy body being the model for every commercial brand and magazines.
