Kim Gyu Ri

Kim Gyu Ri is a South Korean actress with a career that began in the late 1990s, though her exact debut film is not widely documented. She is best remembered for her role in the film Portrait of a Beauty, which brought her significant recognition. Born on August 16, 1979, she stands at 5'2" and maintains a slim, petite build. Her black hair and brown eyes are typical of her Asian ethnicity. In 2009, she legally changed her name from Kim Min-sun to Kim Gyu Ri, a decision that marked a new chapter in her personal and professional life. She has also been vocal about industry and social issues, including a 2005 statement on entertainers' privacy and a 2008 controversy over U.S. beef imports. That latter dispute led to a lawsuit, but the courts ruled in her favor in 2010. She is straight and identifies as Asian. Her work continues to be appreciated by audiences.
