Claudia Kim
Kim Soo-hyun (Korean: 김수현; born 25 January 1985), better known by the stage name Claudia Kim (클로디아 킴), is a South Korean actress and model. She has appeared in Western films such as Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), The Dark Tower (2017), and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018), as well as in Korean dramas such as Queen of the Game (2006–2007), Gyeongseong Creature (2023–2024), and The Atypical Family (2024).
Kim was born as Kim Soo-hyun in South Korea, on 25 January 1985. She spent six years of her childhood in the United States before returning to South Korea. Her dream in middle school was to become an international lawyer, and in high school she hoped to become a TV anchor. She was inspired by watching CNN's headline news anchor Karuna Shinsho in Asia. She completed her studies abroad to continue her dream of becoming an anchor and entered Ewha Womans University as an International Studies (DIS) major. While enrolled, she worked as a reporter and announcer for three years in the school's English-language newspaper, Ewha Voice. She also worked as an intern reporter for The Korea Times and Arirang TV.
Kim's interests in music, film, and other entertainment led her to participate in a Korea-China modeling competition in 2005, which she won top prize in. Kim was the first winner of the award who had never worked as a model.[citation needed]
Producer Oh Se-kang saw Kim on a morning talk show, which led to her acting debut in the television series Queen of the Game (2006). Kim plays Park Joo-won, a friend of Lee Shin-jeon (Joo Jin-mo) and a law firm's international lawyer who loves him. For the drama, she won the New Star award at the 2006 SBS Awards for Acting.
Kim went on to appear in supporting roles in medical drama Brain (2011) and spy comedy 7th Grade Civil Servant (2013), as well as a leading role in the sitcom Standby (2012). Kim gained international attention for her roles in Marco Polo (2014) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).
Kim portrays Nagini in the 2018 film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
In 2019, Italian fashion house Max Mara invited her to attend the annual "Women in Film Gala", which has advocated for women and gender equality in the entertainment industry since 1973.[unreliable source?] Hence, she became the first Korean actress to the attend that event.
In March 2021, Kim signed with new agency YG Entertainment.
