Kim Ji-hyun (; born January 2, 1982) is a South Korean actress. Kim is known for her roles in The Smile Has Left Your Eyes, Justice (2019), and Thirty-Nine, as well as for her performances in films like Solace (2006) and A Little Pond (2009). She is currently affiliated with the artist management company Vibe Actors.

She holds both a bachelor's and a master's degree in acting from Korea National University of Arts. Kim made her acting debut in 2006 and has since appeared in various musical plays, films, and television series. Following her graduation, she participated in several productions with Yi Sang-woo, including plays such as Korea Fantasy (2005), Byun (2005), and The Story of Yangdeokwon (2010) under the Chaimu Theater Company.

Early life and education Kim Ji-hyun was born on January 2, 1982. In her youth, she did not have a specific career aspiration, occasionally mentioning interests in science or teaching when asked. Her perspective on her future changed after enrolling at . Influenced by her older sister, who was already in college, Kim began to consider her future major.

During her first year, she befriended a classmate with theater club experience from middle school. Together, they proposed starting a theater club, which was successfully launched with the support of a teacher. Although some teachers opposed her involvement due to her academic achievements, the club's victory at a theater festival in Ulsan established it as the official theater club of . |name=Dolgochi Reflecting on her university experience, Kim described herself as "mediocre," indicating that while she managed to perform adequately and collaborate effectively, she did not excel in any specific area. She noted that her professors emphasized the need for actors to be either exceptional or face failure, suggesting that she lacked intensity. The first musical, The Story of Mirror Princess Pyeonggang, created by Min Jun-ho, featured a unique performance by eight actors who remained on stage for the entire 1 hour and 25 minutes, constantly moving without leaving. The actors generated all sound effects and audio elements using only their voices (a cappella). This innovative production received โ‚ฉ1 million in production support from Korea National University of Arts. the production starred Kim as the female lead, along with Jeon Byeong-wook as Kim Jong-wook and Min Jun-ho in multiple roles. Their graduation performance at the Black Box Theater of Korea National University of Arts impressed their professors, leading to an official invitation to the 15th Istropolitana Project, an international student theater festival held in Bratislava, Slovakia, from June 26 to June 30, 2004.

"Our troupe has been significantly influenced by Chaimu [...] Hence, we aspire to follow in the footsteps of our seniors. We offer each other support and motivation, continuously engaging in acting to the extent that we never grow weary of it. We possess a strong desire, despite our age, to pursue our passion. This determination is our greatest asset. Mutual respect prevails among us, resulting in significant synergy." โ€” Kim on Theater Ganda โ€” Newsis Interview

In December 2004, Kim reprised her role in Finding Mr. Destiny as a member of Dolgochi. The club performed three original musicals at the Jayu Theater at the Seoul Arts Center: Ssukbuckthorn (December 9โ€“11), The Mirror Princess Pyeonggang Story (December 13โ€“15), and Finding Mr. Destiny (December 17โ€“19).

In 2006, Kim appeared as a supporting actress in Byun Seung-wook's film Solace, portraying the character Mi-ran.

2007โ€“2011: Finding Mr. Destiny and other works In 2007, Kim reunited with writer and composer Kim Hye-seong for Season 3 of the musical Finding Mr. Destiny. CJ ENM acquired the performance rights after being impressed by their university performance in 2004 and collaborated with Musical Haven for the joint production. The musical originally premiered in 2005 with Oh Na-ra as the female lead. "Finding Kim Jong-wook was the first piece of work I did during a workshop at school, so I believe I was able to accomplish it because the directing team suggested it for me to re-enact. I am extremely fortunate. Reflecting on my life, I consider myself very lucky. I have encountered numerous wonderful individuals who have contributed to my ability to perform in this direction." In the same year, Kim collaborated with Min Jun-ho on The Theater's Realistic Ganda Series, which featured two plays at the Star City Art Hall in Daehakro. The first play, Annapurna in My Heart, written by Park Chun-geun and directed by Min Jun-ho, explored the significance of family. It was created by the playwright group 'Dog' from Korea National University of Arts and was performed from July 4 to 15. The second play, I Loved That Child, written by Choo Min-ja, took the stage from July 17 to 22. Kim played the role of Mi-young, who is involved in a love story with Jeong-tae. The play received acclaim for its engaging dialogue, dynamic acting, and innovative use of a single 'blackboard' to depict 18 scenes and 10 locations. It won awards for Best Picture, Best Direction, and Best Actress at the Miryang Summer Performing Arts Festival and was selected as an ARCO year-end program piece.

In 2009, Kim appeared in Yi Sang-woo's film A Little Pond, which depicted the massacre of South Korean refugees by American soldiers at No Gun Ri in late July 1950, early in the Korean War. Filming began in August 2006, and post-production ended in March 2009. The film premiered on October 8, 2009, at the 14th Busan International Film Festival in Busan, South Korea. Many cast and crew members donated their services due to the story's controversial nature, which discouraged investors.

In 2010, Kim portrayed Heo Yang-mi, a coffee shop owner caring for her younger brother, in Masan MBC's drama series My Sister March. The drama focused on the Busanโ€”Masan Uprising, commemorating its 50th anniversary, and was the first to address this historical event. The screenplay was written by Kim Woon-kyung, known for works like Moon in Seoul, Aunt Ok, and Seoul Ttukbaegi, and was produced by Kim Yong-geun and directed by Jeon Woo-seok.

Despite her previous experience, she expressed a desire for more rehearsal time due to changes in the second encore.

"I am more focused because the two eras are together. Also, it is not something I commonly know and encounter, and since it is a premiere, I am adjusting various parts. I will probably continue until the performance starts. Wouldn't it be fierce?" โ€” Kim on Sylvia of The Pride (2014) โ€” My Daily Interview
