On her character on Shiri (1999): "I was playing a La Femme Nikita (1997)-type role - a
North Korean spy who falls in love with her enemy. From then on, I
played every cool girl with a gun. My nickname in Korean is "Woman
Warrior".
"I watched an auction on Ebay for my photo. It went all the way up to
$15!" (In Style/Sept/2006)
On her first acting break: "After graduating [from Boston University],
I was cast in a Korean miniseries that took off. It was crazy! I became
recognizable overnight." (In Style/Sept/2006)
