Baek Jin-hee (Hangul: 백진희; born February 8, 1990) is a South Korean actress.[1] She is best known for her roles as a rebellious girl who befriends a Bangladeshi migrant worker in the indie film Bandhobi (2009)[2][3][4]; a teenager with a thriving business selling her used underwear in sex comedy Foxy Festival (2010); a fresh graduate looking for employment in the sitcom High Kick: Revenge of the Short Legged (2011-2012); the villainous empress Tanashiri (Danashiri) in the period drama Empress Ki (2013-2014)[5]; an orphaned casino dealer in Triangle (2014)[6]; and a passionate prosecutor in Pride and Prejudice (2014).[7]
In April 2017, Baek Jin-hee made a three-day visit to Delhi, India rallying support for the empowerment of girls and for gender equality. She interacted with girls from marginalised sections of society, motivating them about education, personal hygiene and self-dependence.
Sharing what prompted her to promote the cause in India, Hee narrated how a documentary about a small village girl employed with a fireworks factory, inspired her. "The girl lost her eyesight in an accident while working in the factory. In spite of the tragic incident, she did not lose hope and continued with her studies. The sheer grit and determination of the little girl motivated me, and I decided that I must do something for them in India," said the actress.
Personal life
On 26 March 2017, Baek's agency confirmed that Baek has been in a relationship with her co-star, Yoon Hyun-min, from My Daughter, Geum Sa Wol since April 2016.[8]
