Han Groo (Korean: 한그루; born May 29, 1992), birth name Min Han-groo, is a South Korean actress and singer.
Key Information
Early life
[edit]Han Groo was born in Namyangju, South Korea. When she was in fourth grade, her family moved to the United States, where she studied at Acacia Elementary School in California, and Ladera Vista Junior High School in California. Han Groo excelled at her academic studies to the extent ,that she won a U.S. President's Education Award in 2003. She also had an extensive background in the dancing since middle school, winning prizes at the several competitions for hip hop dance, jazz dance and tap dance.[1]
After four years in the US, her family moved again, this time to China, where Han Groo entered the Beijing International Art School. She became fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese, while continuing to dance and engage in various activities such as horse riding, martial arts, swordsmanship, and golf. Han Groo's family stayed in China for another four years before returning to Korea.[2][3]
Career
[edit]Han Groo's father is a TV commercial director and her mother used to be a professional model, which made her familiar with and naturally drawn to show business from a very early age. Upon her return to Korea, the aspiring actress signed with the management agency Climix Academy. But at her agency's suggestion, she launched a singing career in 2011 with the EP GROO ONE, followed by the single My Boy. She was nominated as Best New Female Artist at the 2011 Mnet Asian Music Awards. Han Groo later admitted that acting was her real passion from the beginning, but she had wanted to grab whatever opportunities available to her. However, she found it difficult to stand out as a singer given the huge level of competition in Korea's music industry, especially among girl groups riding the coattails of the K-pop revolution.[2]
Later in 2011, she made her acting debut when she landed the leading role in Girl K (also known as Killer K), beating out 100 other audition hopefuls. The three-episode drama, which aired on cable channel CGV, centers on a Nikita-like character who vows to hunt down her mother's killer and joins a secret organization that trains her to become an assassin, all while attending high school. Han Groo performed most of her action stunts herself, and audiences were impressed, as Girl K ranked number one in its timeslot.[4][5]
She then joined her first network series, the MBC daily drama Just Like Today, saying that when she read the script, she felt instantly attached because of the character's similarities to her real-life personality, someone "who's bright and positive despite her difficult situation."[6][2] After supporting roles in The Scandal and One Warm Word, Han Groo returned to cable in the romantic comedies Can We Get Married? (2012) and Marriage, Not Dating (2014), playing female protagonists who fall for bachelors with commitment issues.[7][8]
In June 2022, Han signed with SBD Entertainment, prefiguring a potential comeback in the entertainment industry after seven years away.[9]
Personal life
[edit]Han Groo married her non-celebrity boyfriend in a private setting in November 2015.[10] In March 2017, she gave birth to twins.[11] On September 27, 2022, Han revealed that she had divorced after 7 years of marriage. Han also decided to take custody of the twins.[12][13]

Early life
Childhood
Han Groo was born Min Han-groo on May 29, 1992, in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.[3] She grew up in a remarried family connected to the entertainment industry, with her father working as a television commercial director and her mother having been a professional model.[10][11] From an early age, she expressed interest in performing arts, aspiring to become an actress while developing a passion for dancing and singing.[12] Around the fourth grade, at approximately nine or ten years old, Han Groo's family relocated to the United States, where they lived for four years.[10][12] During this period, she became fluent in English and began studying dance, which helped shape her early interests in performance.[12] The family then moved to China for another four years, extending her time abroad through her teenage years.[10] In China, she achieved fluency in Mandarin and pursued courses in sword-fighting and horse-riding, activities that broadened her physical and cultural experiences before the family returned to South Korea.[10][12]Education and relocation
Han Groo, born Min Han-groo on May 29, 1992, in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, spent her early childhood in the country, attending elementary school until the fourth grade.[3] At around age nine, she relocated to the United States, where she lived for four years and became fluent in English while pursuing academic excellence.[10] During this period abroad, she largely lived independently, adapting to life away from her family in Korea.[10] Following her time in the U.S., Han Groo moved to China with her family, residing there for another four years and achieving fluency in Mandarin Chinese.[10] In her second year of middle school, she enrolled at the Peking Arts School in Beijing, an institution focused on artistic education, where she continued developing her interests in performing arts.[13] This overseas experience, spanning eight years in total, equipped her with multilingual skills and a global perspective before she returned to South Korea around age 16.[10] Upon returning, Han Groo completed her high school education in Korea and prepared for university entrance exams on multiple occasions, though she ultimately forwent higher education to pursue her career in entertainment.[10]Career
Musical debut
Han Groo made her musical debut in January 2011 with the release of her first extended play, Groo One, under the stage name Han Groo. The EP featured the lead single "Witch Girl," a pop track produced by composer Joo Young-hoon, which showcased her vocal abilities and marked her entry into the South Korean music scene. The album was released on January 12, 2011, following a teaser video that highlighted her youthful image and energetic performance style.[14][15] To promote her debut, Groo appeared on popular music programs, including a performance of "Witch Girl" on MBC's Music Core shortly after the EP's launch, where she captivated audiences with her charismatic stage presence. The EP also included a digital single titled "My Boy," which further established her as a rookie solo artist blending catchy melodies with relatable lyrics. Despite her initial aspirations leaning toward acting, the debut was described by Groo herself as a rushed opportunity that propelled her into the entertainment industry.[16][17][18] Her efforts earned recognition in the form of a Best New Artist nomination at the 13th Mnet Asian Music Awards later that year, highlighting the impact of her debut amid a competitive field of newcomers. Although her music career was brief, this launch laid the groundwork for her subsequent transition to acting while demonstrating her versatility as a performer.[3][17]Acting career
Han Groo made her acting debut in 2011 with the leading role of Cha Yeon-jin in the spy-action miniseries Little Girl K (also known as Girl K or Killer K), a three-part drama produced by CGV Arthouse, where she portrayed a high school student recruited into a secret organization. Beating out over 100 auditionees for the part at age 19, her performance marked her entry into the industry following her musical debut earlier that year.[19] That same year, she took on a supporting role as Kim Mi-ho in the MBC daily drama Just Like Today, a family-oriented series spanning 128 episodes. Her portrayal of a young woman navigating personal and relational challenges earned her the Best New Actress award at the 19th Korean Culture and Entertainment Awards in 2011.[17][3] In 2012, Groo appeared as Dong-bi in the jTBC romantic drama Can We Get Married?, playing a supporting character in a story exploring love, family pressures, and societal expectations among women in their thirties. This role further showcased her versatility in ensemble casts. She followed this in 2013 with the supporting part of Na Eun-young, the optimistic younger sister in the SBS family melodrama One Warm Word (also titled Kind Words), where her chemistry with co-star Park Seo-joon provided lighter moments amid the series' heavier themes of reconciliation and loss. For this performance, she received the New Star Award at the 2014 SBS Drama Awards and a nomination for Best New Actress (TV) at the 50th Baeksang Arts Awards.[17][17][20] Groo's breakthrough came in 2014 as the female lead Joo Jang-mi in the tvN romantic comedy Marriage, Not Dating, opposite Yeon Woo-jin. In the series, she played a cheerful florist entangled in a fake relationship that evolves into genuine romance, earning praise for her natural comedic timing and emotional depth in her first full-length leading role. The drama's success solidified her as a rising star in cable television.[21] She appeared in a supporting role in the 2015 tvN drama Super Daddy Yeol, after which she took an extended hiatus from acting.Hiatus and comeback
Following her marriage in November 2015 and the birth of her twin children in March 2017, Han Groo took an extended hiatus from the entertainment industry to focus on her family life.[22][23] Her last acting role prior to this period was a supporting part in the 2015 tvN drama Super Daddy Yeol, after which she largely withdrew from public appearances and professional commitments. This nearly decade-long absence marked a significant pause in her career, during which she prioritized motherhood and personal matters away from the spotlight.[24] In June 2022, she signed an exclusive contract with SBD Entertainment. In September 2022, her agency announced her divorce from her husband of seven years, with whom she had amicably parted and gained full custody of their twins. The agency confirmed that the separation was mutual and emphasized her focus on raising her children while preparing for a professional return. This development represented a pivotal step toward re-entering the industry after years of limited visibility.[25][26] Han Groo's official comeback arrived in 2024 with a supporting role as Jin Na-rae, the wife of photographer Baek Nam-gu, in the ENA fantasy drama The Midnight Studio, which explored themes of ghosts and unresolved regrets through a supernatural photo studio. Building on this, she secured her first lead role post-hiatus in the KBS2 daily drama Cinderella Game (December 2024–April 2025), portraying Goo Ha-na, a resilient woman driven by revenge after being deceived and exploited as a false heir in a chaebol family. The series highlighted her ability to carry a narrative centered on familial betrayal and empowerment, earning praise for her emotional depth. Later that year, in October 2025, she made a brief guest appearance as Ko Sang-hui in episodes 11–12 of the TV Chosun drama Confidence Queen, further solidifying her return. These projects demonstrated her versatility and renewed commitment to acting while balancing single parenthood.[27][28][4]Personal life

Han Groo married a non-celebrity businessman nine years her senior in a private ceremony on November 8, 2015.[22][24] The couple kept their relationship largely out of the public eye prior to the wedding, with Han announcing the marriage through her agency shortly after the event.[25] On March 8, 2017, Han gave birth to fraternal twins, a boy and a girl.[23][2] She briefly paused her professional commitments following the birth to focus on motherhood, sharing occasional updates about her family life through social media and interviews.[26] Han has since emphasized the importance of her role as a single parent, noting in recent reflections that raising her children remains a central priority in her life.[7]Divorce
Han Groo finalized her divorce from her non-celebrity husband, a businessman nine years her senior, in 2022 after nearly seven years of marriage.[24] The couple, who wed in 2015, had welcomed twin children in March 2017.[29] Her agency, SBD Entertainment, confirmed the mutual divorce on September 27, 2022, stating that it had been completed amicably.[25] As part of the settlement, Han Groo was granted full custody of the five-year-old twins, with the former couple agreeing to cooperative co-parenting arrangements.[26] The agency emphasized that Han would focus on her career and family responsibilities moving forward, requesting privacy during this period.[24] In a 2025 interview on Han Chae-ah's YouTube channel, Han reflected on the marriage and divorce, expressing regret over marrying at a young age and wishing she had heeded her friend's earlier opposition to the union.[7] She stated, "Marriage and having children are wonderful, but at that age, there are so many experiences to have—I wish I had explored more of those things," acknowledging the value of listening to elders' advice in retrospect.[7]Filmography
