WHILE YOU WEREN'T LOOKING SHIM EUN-HA GOT MARRIED

Shim Eun-Ha got married. Who? Shim Eun-Ha, Korea's most popular, thought about, and much-loved actress. Starring in three big TV series in the 90's, she appeared with Han Suk-Kyu in CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST, a movie you should see if you haven't. That same year she also tore up the screen in ART MUSEUM BY THE ZOO a so-so romantic comedy in which she gave a teeth-shatteringly good performance. One or two movies went by and then she reunited with Han Suk-Kyu in the hit, TELL ME SOMETHING.But in 2000 she starred in INTERVIEW and that was it. No more. She retired.

Korean papers have kept her flame alive by speculating over whether or not she'll ever return to movies, but she's been busy living in France and studying painting. Her new hubby is a university professor and, please note, she says he's a good listener. It's nice to see a geek marry up. Congratulations to the hopefully happy couple.
