model famous for her role in

Biography
Jun was born in
Seoul,
South Korea, and studied in the Department of Theater and Film at
Dongguk University. She began her career as a fashion
model for Echo Magazine in 1997 at the age of 16.
After appearing in a number of TV
sitcoms, her movie debut came in
White Valentine (1999). This was followed by a role in
Il Mare (2000), which proved to be a success. An
American remake of
Il Mare,
The Lake House, was released 14 June 2006. However, her biggest breakthrough was in
My Sassy Girl (2001), a
romantic comedy that went internationally well known, and won her a
Best Actress award at the Daejong Film Festival in 2002. In 2004, she starred in the film
Windstruck, a South Korean fantasy-romantic comedy which was directed by
Kwak Jae-yong. The film was also another major success and was the 8th-highest grossing Korean film of 2004. In 2006, she was also in the movie
Daisy. In 2008, she was also in the film
A Man Who Was Superman.
Ji Hyun worked closely with
CJ Entertainment, particularly with the distribution of
Windstruck,
The Uninvited, and
A Man Who Was Superman.
In 2009, she made her English-language film debut when she starred as Saya in
Blood: The Last Vampire, which was filmed in
China and
Argentina in March 2007. It was during filming and before the March 2009 release that she adopted the Westernised name Gianna Jun. The film was Jun's first official action film and was a "drastic" change in her image from previous films.
Possible future projects
It was stated that Ji Hyun might possibly be working with Korean singer
Rain in the near future for the drama,
Four Seasons, which will be directed by Choi Moon-Seok. The project was conceived as early as 2008, however, because of a scheduling conflict, the project has been postponed
