Ha Ji-won started her career playing supporting roles in television productions, and was recognized for her height and then-chubby cheeks.

In 2002, Ha Ji-won had her breakthrough role as the lead in the horror film Phone, a film thematically and stylistically similar to a whole spate of horror films coming out of East Asia at the time. Her performance earned her a best actress nomination at the Blue Dragon Film Awards. This success secured her many more film offers as well as "big star" status.

Since then she has gone on to make films like the American Pie-clone Sex Is Zero, Reversal of Fortune and more recently, 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant. She also began an attempt at a recording career in 2002.

In 2003, Ha Ji-won released a music album titled Homerun.

Ha Ji-Won has also starred in the series Something Happened in Bali in early 2004, co-starring Jo Insung and So Jisub. In that project, she played tour guide Lee Soojung, who consequently attracted two men who she did not like. She won a Baek-Sang Best Actress Award for her performance in this drama.
