Career

Kim Hyun-joo began modeling in youth journals when she was in third year high school. She made her debut on "One's Lifetime" by Kim Hyun-chul in 1996. Kim began her acting career in 1997 in the television series The Reason I Live (1996). Despite being a newcomer, she appeared in the leading role in the film If It Snows on Christmas (1998) with Park Yong-ha, followed by Calla (1999) with Song Seung-heon.

Kim expanded her resume after appearing on television in a few sitcoms. She played in the Jang Dong-gun starrer Springtime (also known as Youth) in 1999, which attracted poor reviews. Kim's career was boosted by the famed Into the Sunlight later this year. She appeared in episode 7 of Song Ji-na's omnibus drama Love Story in early 2000, titled "Insomnia, Manual, and Orange Juice." Kim then landed her first television lead role in Virtue (Deok-yi), followed by more supporting roles with Her House in 2001 (based on Choi In-ho's book about Joseon merchant Im Sang-ok).

Kim rose to fame in 2002 with her Cinderella-esque leading role in Glass Slippers, about two sisters who were separated as children and the first people to meet as adults. Kim Ji-ho, Han Jae-suk, and So Ji-sub were all included in the drama, and Kim Ji-ho received acting and fame awards at the SBS Drama Awards. Glass Slippers was also successful in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Vietnam, and Viet Nam, as Kim's burgeoning pan-Asian fame, she appeared opposite Taiwanese actor/singer Vanness Wu in the martial arts film Star Runner 2003.

She and Ji Jin-hee, together with Miss Kim's One Billion Won Project and Miss Kim's Adventures in Making a Million, showcased their comedic chops as a child left at the altar and a bankrupt playboy, respectively, who join forces in a moneymaking venture. Kim's next role in the body swapping comedy film Shinsukki Blues was as Lee Sung-jae's love interest.

Kim played Choi Seo-hee in Toji, the Land, a television adaptation of Park Kyung-ni's celebrated book Toji ("The Land"), which portrayed peasants' lives and loves in Korea from late 2004 to 2005, spanning from Japan's colonial period to the split of the peninsula. The big budget production was a hit, and Kim received a Best TV Actress award at the 2006 Baeksang Arts Awards.

Marrying a Millionaire, 2005, was about an average guy (Go Soo) pretending to be wealthy, but then falls for one of the contestants (Kim), the only girl who knows the truth. Kim went on a two-year absence after Marrying a millionaire. She later said she took a break because she felt she was not being typecast in roles with a delicate and innocent look. However, as time went, she regretted her decision and may have attempted harder to overcome her career's stagnation.

Kim went back to television in 2007 with In-soon Is Pretty, playing the titular character who went to prison for unintentionally killing someone in high school, and after serving her term, she faces prejudice as an ex-con while rebuilding her life. Despite the drama's poor ratings, Kim was lauded for her performance and was given a Top Excellence Award at the KBS Drama Awards for her acting.

In 2009, she was cast in a small supporting role (or extended cameo) as the hero's tough-but-stylish older sister in the wildly popular Boys Over Flowers series, which was based on the Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango. Kim played a widow-turned-lawyer whose ferocious optimism clashed with her colleague's (Lee Dong-wook) skepticism in the legal drama Partner.

Kim Hyun-joo's documentary ECO Canada, which aired on MBC Life, spent ten days in Vancouver, Whistler, and Victoria. The shoot, which was also published as a photo spread in Sure magazine, raised environmental concerns by emphasizing Canada's natural setting and demonstrating Kim's environmentally sustainable methods such as using fabric bags rather than plastic and unplugging unused electrical appliances.

On December 20, 2009, Hyun-joo's Handcrafted Tale was published, containing personal essays and photographs of her needlework and knitting.

Kim's 2010 was a difficult year for her mother, with three of her family members dying in close succession: her companion, actor Park Yong-ha, committed suicide on June 30 after a long illness, and her father, Kim Tae-beom, died on July 7 after a lengthy illness. The remainder of the year she travelled to Bangladesh and the Philippines for her volunteer work as the Goodwill ambassador for Good Neighbors, a humanitarian NGO. She donated the condolence money collected for her father's funeral and a portion of her book sales to Good Neighbors, which was used to build libraries in 11 orphanages in Dhaka's poorest areas. Kim said, "I actually fled to Bangladesh following a string of personal tragedies, but the smiles of children who are living in these difficult circumstances were calming." "I am gaining energy to live because of the act of sharing." She now works as an instructor for many classes taught by Good Neighbors, in Korea, who teaches Korean elementary schoolchildren about poverty around the world.

In 2011, Kim resumed acting in 2011. She was the daughter of a wealthy publishing company whose life is turned upside down after she learns she was swapped at birth with another baby in Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle. The MBC Drama Awards have given her a top Excellence Award for her work. She appeared in Kim Daeung's short film Q&A, which was also included in If You Were Me 5, the National Human Rights Commission of Korea's omnibus film. She was a fashion magazine editor with a genius-level IQ who was embarrassed by her developmentalally disabled mother (Ha Hee-ra).

In the period drama Blooded Palace: The War of Flowers (2013), Kim played one of the Joseon Dynasty's most popular femme fatales, Lady Jo (or Jo Gwi-in). "This role will be a new life story for my acting career," she said. I personally think it will be more enjoyable for an actress with an innocent image like myself to play this vil role." Critics applauded Kim's versatility as she transforms from a teenage girl to an adoring royal concubine who cries out for her position.

Kim began hosting Musical Journey to Yesterday, a music festival in which a group of current idol singers and industry veterans perform live hit songs from the 1970s to 1990s. She appeared in the weekend drama What Happens to My Family?, which attracted over 40% viewers. At the KBS Drama Awards, her achievement was recognized as the Best Excellence Award.

She appeared in two melodrama, I Have a Lover, in 2015. She was named Best Excellence Top Achievement Award from the APAN Star Awards and SBS Drama Awards.

Kim continued to perform in Fantastic, playing a drama screenwriter suffering from a terminal illness.

She appeared in the fantasy melodrama Miracle That We Met in 2018, portraying a lonely woman trapped in a loveless marriage. Sun Hye-jin, Kim's character, was described as "a dormant volcano awaiting to be active."

Kim appeared in the OCN's drama Watcher in 2019. She played the part of a criminal prosecutor and a promising prosecutor. Kim's appearance received rave reviews for her "creation of an independent and unique character that had never been seen before."

Kim would appear in Undercover, JTBC's recreation of the British BBC drama of the same name, as it was announced in July 2020. Ji Jin-hee, co-starring her in her third reunion with her 2015 film I Have a Lover, was a highlight of her reunion. Kim explained why she turned down the invitation to join the drama: "I received a lot of Ji Jin-hee's help with my character last week." Rather, Ji Jin-hee's character, Han Jeong-hyeon,'s feelings must develop. In addition, many people want the two of us to reunite after I Have a Lover, so I want to return that passion as well."

Kim was confirmed to be part of Hellbound, a Netflix series directed by Yeon Sang-ho in the first month of 2020. Min Hye-jin was a lawyer who spoke out against religious fundamentalists.

Kim will appear in the sci-fi film Jung-E in July 2021 as the most high soldier and a subject of brain-clone testing.

Kim was announced to be cast in the leading role in SBS's drama Trolley, in which she would appear as a wife of a member of the National Assembly in April 2022.
