Oh Hyun-kyung (Korean: 오현경; born Oh Sang-ji on March 25, 1970) is a South Korean actress and beauty pageant titleholder.
Career
[edit]Oh Sang-ji won the 1989 Miss Korea beauty pageant,[1] and represented her country at the Miss Universe 1990 pageant. She immediately rose to stardom. Using the stage name Oh Hyun-kyung, she received many television offers and began her acting career. She was also briefly an adjunct professor at Kongju Communication Arts College. But her career came to a halt in 1998 when a 28-minute video clip explicitly showing her having intercourse with her then-boyfriend was uploaded on file-sharing websites. Oh asked prosecutors to investigate the circumstances that led to the widespread circulation of the sex video, claiming that someone had earlier attempted to blackmail her for money.[2] Despite proof that the video had been filmed without her consent and the boyfriend had released it with malicious intent,[3] the scandal caused her to be harshly criticized in the media.
In 2001, she returned to Korea and later found herself in the public eye once again after a hush-hush wedding in September 2002 to Kemongsa president Hong Seung-pyo (the M&A specialist played by Bae Yong-joon in the TV series Hotelier was based on Hong).[4] Oh gave birth to a daughter in 2003, and started a golf fashion business the year after. But in 2004 her husband Hong was arrested for embezzlement, leading to Oh divorcing him in June 2006.[5][6]
Calling her 10-year self-imposed exile from the public limelight "a living nightmare," Oh returned to television in 2007 in the melodrama First Wives' Club.[7] Her acting comeback was a success,[8] and Oh has since starred in a succession of dramas, among them High Kick Through the Roof, Gloria,[9] Miss Ajumma, The Great Seer,[10] She Is Wow!, Wang's Family, 4 Legendary Witches, and The Bird That Sheds No Tears.
