During her early years, Ku developed a liking for music and dreamed of becoming a singer.
She enrolled herself at the Sung kyunkwan University – Seoul Institute of Arts, and
formed a vocal band with her college friends.
Along with singing, Ku started modeling and did many internet campaigns as well.
In no time, she became an internet sensation, and her dream of becoming a singer took a
backseat.
But she could never take music out of her mind.
Ku Hye-sun was termed as ‘ulzzang’, meaning good looking, and hence many of the modeling
agencies approached her.
She enrolled herself as a trainee under SM Entertainment and later moved to DSP Media
to become part of a three member girl group named ‘Ria’.
Koo Hye-sun's Career: After the idea of making her debut with the
musical group failed, Ku signed a contract with YG Entertainment, an event management
and modeling agency.
Ku then decided to go ahead with her acting career and thus her career in films took off.
This multitalented artist has starred in many television dramas and films.
Her performance was first noticed in the MBC sitcom ‘Nonstop 5’ and the 2006 television
drama ‘Pure in Heart’ gave her the much-awaited stardom.
Meanwhile, Ku’s dream of becoming a singer materialized with her debut single ‘Happy
Birthday to You’ for the series ‘Nonstop 5’.
From then on, she sang some of the tracks for the tele-dramas she acted in.
Three years later, Ku released her first album ‘Breath’ in 2009.
Ku’s debut directorial venture came in the form of a short film titled ‘The Madonna’,
which was screened at the 2009 Puchon International Fantastic Film Festival.
The following year, Ku directed her first feature film, ‘Magic’.
Two years later, Ku set up her production house, Ku Hye-sun Films, and ‘The Peach
Tree’ was the first film made under it.
She also composed the theme song for it and later released its novel version.
Apart from her acting and directorial works, Ku has been an ambassador for many brands
and activities.
Ku released her first illustrated novel ‘Tango’ in 2009 which became a bestseller.
In the same year, she organized an art exhibition in which many of her paintings, including
some from her novel, were displayed.
The beginning of 2015 was not favorable to her as the KBS's vampire drama ‘Blood’
received low ratings and her performance disappointed the audience.
Later in the year, Ku had to leave MBC's weekend drama ‘You’re Too Much’, due to health
reasons.
She has also worked as an associate in many national and international Film Festivals
and has directed trailers for such events.
Ku has contributed a lot to help the organizations working towards the benefit of underprivileged
children and cancer patients.
She is an inspiration to many budding artists.
