[edit] Career
Already established as a star in children's entertainment, Ko made her film debut in 2006 with a starring role in The Host, having been cast in an extensive audition process.[1] The films director, Bong Joon-ho, praised her work, saying that she "showed really mature acting for her age, and that's one of her defining charms as an actress".[2] Ko was also applauded by film critics, with Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post complimenting her "exquisite performance",[3] and Megan Ratner of the Bright Lights Film Journal noting her "unforced naturalness, reminiscent not only of Ana Torrent but of Zazie’s Catherine Demongeot".[4] She has received several award nominations for her role in the film, and won "Best New Actress" at the 2006 Blue Dragon Film Awards.[5]
Ko has continued her film career with roles in The Happy Life (2007) and Radio Dayz (2008).
