Actress Lim Soo-jung’s anecdote from her school days has become a hot topic after being revealed.

It is said that Lim Soo-jeong is remembered by teachers as “a student who was not good at studying but was really pretty.” She had a quiet personality and was not a particularly outstanding student. It was said that she did not have much interest in studies and thus always had poor grades.

Lim Soo-jeong herself also said about her school days, “I made friends with bad friends that teachers didn’t like, and I didn’t study much.”

It is said that teachers at Myeongdeok Girls’ High School, where Lim Soo-jeong graduated, stimulated other students’ motivation to study by saying, “You who are not pretty like Lim Soo-jeong should study hard.”

She, who was famous as the queen of Myeongdeok Girls’ High School who was ‘able to have fun and was pretty’, went to see a play one day. Im Soo-jeong was so impressed by the play that he began to pursue his dream of becoming an actor.

He entered the entertainment industry in earnest when he won the grand prize in the 1998 magazine ‘Ceci’ cover model selection contest.

However, what is unusual is that he, who dreamed of becoming an actor, did not study acting at all, and even after his debut, he did not take any acting classes.

Maybe that’s why he was criticized for his poor acting in his debut work, ‘School 4’ or ‘The President Who Plays the Piano’, but he has now become one of the best actors in acting.

It is said that when he was unknown, he went to countless auditions and failed.

He said he counted the number of falls up to 50, but stopped counting after that and estimates that he fell about 300 times.

Being cast in the horror movie ‘Pussy and Red Lotus’ was a huge turning point in his acting career. Working with Moon Geun-young as her sister, he perfectly played the role of the older sister who is driven crazy by her obsession with her younger sister.

This film, released in the summer of 2003, recorded the largest audience among domestic horror films, and this record was not broken until ‘The Wailing’ was released. He swept the Rookie of the Year awards at various film festivals in 2003.

In 2004, he was cast as the lead along with So Ji-sub in the drama ‘I’m Sorry, I Love You’.

The drama was a huge hit and thrilled the nation with its poignant acting as a couple with So Ji-sub.

Afterwards, he focused his work on movies rather than dramas. He made numerous hit movies such as ‘Sugar Cube’, ‘It’s Okay to Be a Cyborg’, ‘Happiness’, ‘Comrade Woo Chi’, ‘Finding Kim Jong-wook’, and ‘All About My Wife’.

In 2017, he returned to the small screen after 13 years with ‘Chicago Typewriter’, and in 2019, he received much love by appearing in ‘Enter a search term WWW’.

Lim Soo-jung appeared in the 2023 film ‘Single in Seoul’. It was a movie about the story of Young-ho (Lee Dong-wook), an influencer who likes being alone, and Hyun-jin (Im Soo-jeong), an editor-in-chief at a publishing company who hates being alone, who work together to create a book about single life.

In an interview related to the movie, Lim Soo-jung revealed her views on marriage. He said, “She has never thought about being single since she was young. However, she didn’t even think about forcing herself to meet someone in order to get married quickly.”

He continued, “When my friends were young, they often dreamed of getting married quickly and starting a family. But I’ve never thought about it that way,” he said.

However, he said, “Someday, I want to live with someone. I don’t want to spend middle age or old age alone. “Now I’m waiting for a natural meeting,” he said.

Lim Soo-jeong said she tries to live well alone and said, “I am not impatient. She thinks that one day she will naturally meet someone who is right for her. “I don’t know when that will happen,” he added.

However, Lim Soo-jeong is said to be the type of person who actively expresses her interest first if she finds someone she is interested in.

He said, “No matter what the other person thinks, I tend to express it first,” and “I express it so actively that I realize, ‘That person is interested in me.’”

Lim Soo-jung appeared on tvN’s entertainment show ‘You Quiz on the Block’ last year. It was her first entertainment appearance since her debut in 2001.

In the broadcast, he revealed many stories that he had never told before, and one of them was that he was working alone without an agency.

Yoo Jae-seok said, “I heard that Lim Soo-jung doesn’t have a manager right now. “When writers call for casting, he says he is surprised to receive it himself,” Lim Soo-jeong said, adding, “It’s been about a year since we’ve been like this.”

He said, “I didn’t intend to work alone, but in fact, I wanted to take some time off. But as it turned out, he ended up going through some really big events alone. “He went to the Cannes Film Festival and appeared on the You Quiz,” he explained.

Lim Soo-jung surprised her co-stars by revealing that she travels alone even when completing her schedule.

When Jo Se-ho asked, “How did you come today?” Lim Soo-jeong said, “I came by taxi.” “Sometimes I take public transportation, and sometimes I drive myself.”

Jo Se-ho continued, “When working, problems with settlement of expenses are bound to arise. “Isn’t it difficult to directly ask for event fees or appearance fees?” he asked.

In response, Lim Soo-jeong said, “Then can I ask you to settle the bill?” “This is exactly what I wanted,” he said, giving a big laugh.
