is a multifaceted South Korean actress and activist, renowned for her compelling performances and unyielding social advocacy. She debuted in the stage play 'What Do Women Live For' in 1995, subsequently excelling in supporting roles in notable films like Im Sang-soo's 'Girls' Night Out' (1998), Lee Chang-dong's 'Peppermint Candy' (2000), and Im Kwon-taek's 'Chi-hwa-seon' (2002).
Kim's activism is equally impressive, with her involvement in rallies and civic groups drawing public attention to contentious social and political issues. Her efforts include advocating for reinstatement of laid-off shipbuilders at Hanjin Heavy Industries, campaigning for reduced university tuition fees, and opposing the Four Major Rivers Project. A vocal presence on Twitter, she has earned recognition as one of South Korea's most influential 'socialtainers.'
In 2011, Kim's outspokenness resulted in MBC banning her from appearing as a progressive panelist on Sohn Suk-hee's Spotlight radio show, sparking a boycott call by prominent figures across academic, literary, and media circles. Additionally, she has actively campaigned for liberal politicians Roh Moo-hyun, Moon Jae-in, and Park Won-soon.
