This brilliant woman decided to continue her studies, as she attended Korean University and graduated with a master’s degree in journalism. After that she ended up doing a degree in Hotel Management from an international Institute in Switzerland. She really proved to herself that she is indeed not just a pretty face, huh? Although she has a degree in Hotel Management, she never actually joined nor worked for any hotel, and decided to just start her modelling career instead. During her early life after her graduation, she did a few advertisement campaigns, which later got her noticed by the film and television industry in South Korea. Since 2016, she has been working under King Entertainment. In an interview, she said that her role models are Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep, and Na Moon Hee.

In 2010, she appeared again in the romantic comedy movies Foxy Festival and My PS Partner in 2012, which made her popular among the youth of Korea who found her roles in those movies to be relatable.

Kim Ah-joong’s Husband
Kim Ah-joong is currently still single. There was never any rumor about her dating anyone. In an interview, she expressed her feelings about dating. She said, “I really don’t date. To be honest, I can’t. Because of work? You can date and work at the same time. I just wasn’t able to date. You say it’s a surprise that I haven’t had any dating scandals, but I haven’t dated anyone, so there haven’t been any scandals. I can say that with a clear conscience.” In the interview, she also expressed her concern about her personality, she added, “I am most curious about that. I seem to be the kind of person who can’t date very well. It takes a lot of time for me to be friends with anyone, but it’s much worse with people of the opposite sex. I don’t dream of fairy tale romance, but I think love is too difficult.” When asked about her ideal type, she explained that she wants someone who looks at life the same way she does, someone who is gentle and generous, who can understand the differences between people, and have positive feelings and thoughts. Kim also said that it’s fine if they don’t have a lot of money, as they can always earn it, and it is also okay if they do not have a good sense of humor because what really matters for her is their feelings and thoughts. Well, it seems like her fanboys can take a breather, as she will still be single for a while. We wish her all the best though, and we hope that someday she’ll find her own prince charming!
Kim Ah-joong’s Plastic Surgery
Kim Ah-joong is only in her thirties, yet there has been some rumors going on about whether or not this 200 Pounds Beauty‘s actress had had some work done to enhance her looks, just like her character in the movie. Well, she has never denied nor admitted this rumor, so we don’t really know for sure. But there are significant changes in her facial features. Want to know which part of her face she might have enhanced through surgery? Then let me break it down for you guys.
1. Kim Ah-joong’s Eye Transformation
As can be seen on the above picture, earlier Kim Ah-joong’s eyes seemed to be uneven and narrow. She had double eyelids, but they were not that obvious especially at first glance. Also, the shape of her eyes were not symmetrical, with one being slightly higher than the other. And on the after picture, it seems that her eyes get so much bigger and more opened, thanks to epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty, which takes away the Oriental look, and gives her bigger, wider, western looking eyes. It also seems that she has done aeygosal surgery judging by the little puffs under her eyes. This procedure is supposed to make the eyes appear bigger and make her look cute and doll-like.
2. Kim Ah-joong’s Nose Transformation
Another feature that she seemed to have enhanced is her nose. Though a more defined nose can be achieved by makeup, contouring skills, and the right lighting, her nose just seems so different. In the before picture, she didn’t really have defined nasal bridge and in the after picture, there’s a clear straight line, and her nose bridge is definitely raised. This indicates that she’s probably had some work done on her nose by doing a rhynoplasty surgery.
3. Kim Ah-joong’s Jaw Transformation
Moving on to the next feature that seemed to change, which is her jawline. Though the before picture was taken when she was in high school, and it’s possible that her face structure could have changed since then, it’s highly unlikely that her jaw size suddenly reduced that much! Earlier she had the typical Korean square jaw, which gave her a quite masculine look, but now her face looks slimmer and she has an oval shaped face, giving her a much more feminine look. It’s possible that she did the jaw reduction surgery or V-line surgery. These procedures are supposed to help to reduce the size of the jaw by shaving off the jawbone. This jaw surgery seems like to be the one that really transformed her face, as it made the biggest difference.
