Ham So Won, born in 1976, gained fame for her stunning looks, notably when she appeared in the movie Sex is Zero which was released 22 years ago. In the film, she played the role of Kim Hyun Hee, one of the four main female characters. Unlike the glamorous and strong character portrayed by Ha Ji Won, Hyun Hee’s character had a more playful and unique style, complete with distinctive hair and makeup.
In comparison to other characters, Ham So Won’s hot scenes in the film were somewhat more reserved and less extravagant. However, her intimate scenes with her co-stars left a lasting impression on the audience, particularly due to their vivid depiction. For instance, at the beginning of the movie, after the male and female groups go to a bar, the couples form, and Hyun Hee also has her own “moment.” However, at this time, Hyun Hee was tipsy and her more daring actions made her co-star feel quite uncomfortable. The audience, witnessing the intoxicated antics, found the portrayal both amusing and somewhat disconcerting.
Over the years, compared to other actresses, especially Ha Ji Won, Ham So Won has received less attention, partly because she is not a full-time actress. She gained fame by winning the title of Miss Korea Thailand in 1997. Throughout her acting career, So Won has only appeared in three works, with My Big Family (aired from 2002 to 2003) being her last significant project.
Despite not being active in the entertainment industry, Ham So Won remains a notable name, especially for her vibrant personality and unique lifestyle. She once made headlines for marrying a younger boyfriend who is 18 years her junior, leading to various public discussions and criticisms regarding their relationship. Additionally, her frequent displays of her fit body at nearly 50 years old have also attracted significant online attention. Many people praise her for maintaining her looks after giving birth, despite not being involved in the entertainment field. Ham So Won continues to “nurture” her beauty remarkably well, often compared favorably to women half her age.
