Combining beauty with intelligence, Korean actress and model Kim Tae-hee has embarked on a bid to conquer Japan for a new beverage after garnering lavish praise from the press there. Popular chiefly for her role in the TV series "Stairway to Heaven¡± as the villain Han Yoo-ri who bullies Choi Ji-woo¡¯s character, Kim on Monday held a press conference in Tokyo to mark her debut as the advertising model for a new soft drink by Coca Cola in Japan.
Reports were glowing. ¡°A graduate of Seoul National University, the equivalent of Tokyo University in Japan, Kim is a Korean actress unlike any other," the Nikkan Sports Daily said. Kim said although her best-known role makes her a villain to most Japanese, ¡°I hope the commercials will give me a chance to show a different aspect of myself. To be honest, I'm quite a good person.¡± At the press conference, J-pop singer Hitomi Yaida, who sings the advertising jingle, also had nothing but praise for Kim¡¯s beauty.
