The late actress Kang Soo-yeon, who started her acting career at the age of 4 in 1969, was one of the first top stars who led the Korean Wave and a great pillar in the Korean film industry. In 1987, she became the first Korean actress to win Best Actress at the Venice International Film Festival, which is known as one of the world’s most prestigious film festivals, for the movie “The Surrogate Woman” (directed by Im Kwon-taek). Two years later, she continued to win Best Actress at the Moscow International Film Festival for her excellent performance in director Im’s movie “Come, Come, Come Upward”.

Kang Soo-yeon left a great remark in the Korean film industry by starring in various successful films, such as “All That Falls Has Wings” (1989), “Road to the Racetrack” (1991), “Blue in You” (1992), etc. She swept all the domestic and foreign film festivals, such as the Daejong Award Film Festival, Baeksang Arts Awards and Blue Dragon Film Festival, and won 10 trophies for Best Actress alone.
