The actress' career skyrocketed in Hollywood after starring in the critically-acclaimed movie "Parasite," in which she played the role of Kim Ki-Jung, a daughter who faked her way as a therapist to earn money due to their poverty lifestyle.
The movie got major nods from renowned award-giving bodies such as the 92nd Academy Awards, Cannes Film Festival, and many more.
