Song Seon-mi (born 13 September 1974) is a South Korean actress. [1]
Song Seon-mi won second place at the Super Elite Model Contest in 1996, then transitioned from a modeling career to acting a year later in the television drama Model (1997). [2] [3]
In 1998, Song made her film debut playing dual roles as an art gallery employee and a soldier's ex-girlfriend in Lee Jeong-hyang's critically acclaimed romantic comedy Art Museum by the Zoo , opposite Ahn Sung-ki. [4] [5] This was followed by the gangster comedy My Boss, My Hero (2001). Though Song is more active in television, notable in her filmography are two arthouse films by auteur Hong Sang-soo. For Woman on the Beach (2006), she and her co-stars agreed to appear in the film even without reading Hong's script. [6] While in The Day He Arrives (2011), Song played a film studies professor who frequents a bar in Bukchon. [7] [8] [9]
Back on the small screen, her popularity rose when she played a young housewife in Precious Family (2004), written by Kim Soo-hyun. [10] Leading roles followed in The Secret Lovers (2005), One Day Suddenly (2006), Green Coach (2009), Mrs. Town (2009), and Dandelion Family (2010), as well as a supporting role in the well-received medical drama Behind the White Tower (2007). [11]
In 2012, Song was cast as a capable trauma nurse in Golden Time . [12] She later reunited with its director Kwon Seok-jang in Miss Korea (2013), set in 1997 during the IMF crisis. [13]
Song starred in her first ever period drama in 2013's Blooded Palace: The War of Flowers . [14] [15] She drew praise for her portrayal of the Crown Princess Lady Kang, Crown Prince Sohyeon's wife, despite controversy involving a breastfeeding scene. [16]
Song married art director Go Woo-seok, who she met through mutual acquaintances and dated for one year, on 29 June 2006. [17] They have a daughter, Arri born 2014. [18] On 21 August 2017, Song Seon Mi’s late husband Go Woo Seok was found dead in a law office located in Seoul. At the time, the police revealed that following an inheritance battle, he was murdered by a hitman hired by his cousin for ₩2.00 billion KRW (about $1.67 million USD). The shocking homicide case headlined the Korean news for months as the investigation continued.
Eventually, both the cousin and the hitman got arrested and sentenced to prison—life for the cousin who hired the hitman and 18 years for the murderer who stabbed Go Woo Seok. Song Sun Mi also won her lawsuit against the cousin, with the South Korean court ruling in favor of the actress and her daughter to receive ₩1.30 billion KRW (about $1.09 million USD) in compensation for their loss. [19]
In 2009, Song left talent agency Contents Entertainment to join a new agency set up by her former manager Mr. Yu, Hoya Entertainment; this resulted in a breach of contract lawsuit. [20]
In January 2013, she was charged with slander for allegedly insulting Kim Sung hoon, the CEO of The Contents Entertainment, at a press conference for a drama held in July 2012. Kim was also linked to actress, Jang Ja-yeon's death, after three witness testified against him, Kim was found guilty of abuse by the Korean courts, specifically of forcing girls from his agency to come to his birthday party where he forced them to sexually entertain the executives.
