Biography

Nam Sang Mi was working in a fast-food restaurant near Hanyang University, Seoul in the fall of 2001 when someone posted her personal photos on the internet. Her popularity as an ulzzang led to her discovery as an actress. She made her debut in the 2003 MBC drama Love Letter, and began her acting career by taking small roles in movies, TV dramas, and commercials. Her first leading role came in the 2005 drama Sweet Spy.

After she finished filming the SBS drama Gourmet, Nam started taking piano lessons as a hobby.

She has been active in campaigns promoting environmental awareness and adoption of handicapped children.

Regarding her horror film Living Death, Nam said of the role, “The moment I read the script, I wanted this part badly. 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.”

She is dating Life is Beautiful co-star Lee Sang-yoon.

In 2008 Cyworld featured a Nam Sang Mi font based on her handwriting. It was used on that internet portal and for mobile phones, eventually expanding later that year to other online services.
