These actresses are rare female stars who succeed in TV, films, and fashion, all at the same time.
Not every TV actor can achieve success when being cast in big-screen projects and vice versa. But in the case of the following three actresses, not only do they conquer both dramas and movies, but they have also proved their influence in fashion, something that not many female stars in the industry, no matter how popular they are, can achieve.
Jeon Ji Hyun
In the iconic trio of Korean screen goddesses “Tae – Hye – Ji”, Jeon Ji Hyun is the only star who slays all her gigs not only in both dramas and films but also in fashion and beauty. In terms of television, Jeon Ji Hyun won the prestigious Daesang at the 2014 Baeksang Arts Awards with her performance in the hit “My Love From The Star”. Most of the dramas starring Jeon Ji Hyun record 2-digit ratings and draw much attention from the audience both domestically and overseas.
When it comes to cinema, Jeon Ji Hyun‘s filmography is filled with iconic movies such as “My Sassy Girl”, “The Thieves”, “Assassination”, “Windstruck”, etc. She has taken home multiple awards for her acting in films, most notably two Grand Bell Awards for Best Actress in 2002 and 2015.
Fashion-wise, with her outstanding and charismatic beauty and aura, Jeon Ji Hyun was selected as the first Korean ambassador of Alexander McQueen. She often graces the cover of many major magazines in Korea as well as internationally.
Gong Hyo Jin

“Crush And Blush”, “Love Fiction”, “Boomerang Family”, “Missing”, “Door Lock”, etc, are successful films that helped Gong Hyo Jin leave an impression on Korean moviegoers. These films all did well at the box office and explained why Gong Hyo Jin is acknowledged for her acting and charm on both the small and silver screens.
Gong Hyo Jin has also shown her impact as a fashion star as she has worked in collaboration with many brands from 2010 to 2016. Currently, she is an ambassador for the high-end jewelry brand Piaget.
