Kim Min Hee began modelling when she was in middle school and soon appeared as a cover girl in teen magazines. Thanks to her unique facial features and slender figure, in 1999 she was cast in the campus drama School 2 as a rebellious high school girl, which launched her to stardom. She became a popular young star at barely 20 years old, appearing on TV dramas and movies. However, a string of poor acting performances brought her negative criticism.

Her succeeding movie roles helped solidify her career reinvention. 2008's Hellcats (also known as its Korean title I Like It Hot or Some Like It Hot) is a light-hearted comedy that explores the lives and loves of three women at different stages of womanhood.
