Koo Hye-sun

For me, Koo Hye-sun is the rare artist who simply refuses to be boxed in. Most people first met her through Boys Over Flowers, but she is also a film director, screenwriter, singer-songwriter, and painter, and I have an instinctive respect for anyone whose creative output overflows a single title. From Incheon to Seoul's arts world, she seems driven by a need to express more than acting alone allows. I find it admirable that after sudden stardom she chose to step behind the camera and tell her own stories.
