Han's real name is Kim Ye-Seul-Yi, while her English name is Leslie Kim.[1] She was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, before moving to South Korea to pursue acting/modeling. She attended Cerritos High School and graduated from Cerritos College with an AA degree in computer graphics and is fluent in both English and Korean.
[edit] Naturalization
Han Ye Seul gave up her American nationality in 2004 for a Korean one in order to fully establish herself on the Korean market as a Korean actress.[2]
[edit] Debut
Han debuted as a model after winning a super model competition in 2001.[3] Ye-seul is an all-round artist as she is a singer, actress of dramas and movies. She also has starred in a variety of commercials in Korea ranging from health drinks to beauty products to Venus women's apparel to Pizza Hut TV spots, Samsung ads and commercials for Motorola phones. She is also the voice for the character Susan Murphy in the Korean-language version of the DreamWorks Animation film Monsters vs. Aliens (2009). She also appeared in Rain's music video for "Love Song".
[edit] The Spy Myung-wol Incident
She was involved in a dispute with Korea Broadcasting System (KBS) for failing to show up to filming of the drama Myung Wol the Spy on 14 August 2011.[4] Her agency cited conflicts with her PD over her working conditions, although it earlier explained that her absence was the result of poor health.[5][6] It was revealed that she worked several extra hours and slept for only one to two hours for several weeks. She also received an injection for fatigue. She unexpectedly left South Korea to return to Los Angeles that day.[7] At a meeting on the 15th, Kim agreed to return to filming on 16 August. She returned to Korea on the 18th bringing her mother back with her for support. She was reported to have given a press conference at the airport apologizing on her sudden absence citing difficulties and hardships she had. She also remarked that she firmly believes that what she did was right despite criticism from the public and other media sources that pointed out her unexpected sudden absence from shooting. [8]
