Career
Lee Min-jung was a late starter in the world of Korean entertainment. She debuted at 25. Lee began her career in playwright/filmmaker Jang Jin's stage plays, then appeared in the Christian-themed indie Pruning the Grapevine, while doing minor roles on film and television. She became a household name in 2009 through her supporting role in the popular high school series Boys Over Flowers, which then landed her first leading role in the weekend drama Smile, You. Her romantic comedy Cyrano Agency was the sleeper hit of 2010, and became the breakout film for Lee, who grabbed five best new actress awards in Korea and rose to stardom. After playing a disillusioned fiancee to an ambitious fund manager in Midas, Lee returned to the romantic comedy genre in the body-swapping TV series Big. In 2013 she starred in another rom-com series All About My Romance, about a secret relationship between two politicians of rival parties.
