Career

Nam Sang-mi was working in a Lotteria restaurant near Hanyang University in the fall of 2001 when someone posted her personal photos on the internet.[1] Her popularity as an ulzzang led to her discovery as an actress.

After such a long time away from films, it excited me, and I can show a completely different side than I've shown in dramas."[6] She next played the titular character in romantic comedy drama Invincible Lee Pyung Kang.[7]

After starring in close friend Ku Hye-sun's short film You (2010), Ku cast her as the leading lady of her second feature film The Peach Tree (2012).[8] Meanwhile, on the small screen, Nam starred in the retro music drama Lights and Shadows (2011)[9] and romantic comedy drama Goddess of Marriage (2013).[10]
