Kim ok Bin is tough. She is energetic enough to love martial arts. Her provocative charm is more than evident in dance scenes from her latest movie, “Dasepo Girl.” Her remarks on a TV show have invited a barrage of criticism. The name Kim Ok-bin is enough to draw the attention of virtually everyone.
In 2008, Kim will appear alongside Lee Jung-jae in the film The Accidental Gangster and the Mistaken Courtesan, a Joseon-era tale in which she plays a kisaeng. In February 2008, she was announced as the female lead in Park Chan-wook's latest film, Thirst, which is scheduled to begin filming in April. Co-star Song Kang-ho commented that Kim was "fascinating and has great sensitivity".
Speaking of her own ambitions as an actress, Kim has said, "I am not attracted to easy and simple roles... I only feel alive when I am challenged with difficult roles that push me to improve my acting skills".
Kim faced criticism after appearing on a TV show and saying, "I don’t like men who use discount cards at fancy restaurants", with some calling her doinjangnyeo, a term referring to women who rely on rich parents or boyfriends rather than their own income. The incident had a negative impact on her popularity, though she later stated that her comments were taken out of context.
