Awww.. I just want to stare at her... >>hahaha..<< Aigoo!!! Got to be focused!
Yo Minna! In case you didn't know, this is Jun Ji Hyun by the way or Gianna Jun (adopted Westernized name). Here's a brief filing about her... (article from Wikipedia)
Jun Ji-hyun (born Wang Ji-hyun, 30 October 1981), also known as Gianna Jun, is a South Korean actress. She is best known for her role as "The Girl" in the romantic comedy My Sassy Girl (2001), one of the highest grossing Korean comedies of all time. Other notable films include Il Mare (2000), Windstruck (2004), The Thieves (2012), and The Berlin File (2013), as well as the television series My Love from the Star (2013-2014).
Wang Ji-hyun was born in Seoul, South Korea. Her childhood dream was to become a flight attendant, but at the age of 16, she was discovered on the street by a fashion editor. Using the stage name Jun Ji-hyun, she began her career as a model for Ecole Magazine in 1997.
Jun's breakout film was comedy My Sassy Girl, which became a huge hit both in Korea and throughout Asia with its tale of a gullible college student and his slightly unhinged girlfriend. The film spent two weeks at No. 1 in Hong Kong, and turned her into Korea's most recognizable star in the Chinese-language market. She also won as Best Actress at the 2002 Grand Bell Awards. Two years then passed before she appeared in her next film, an "occult thriller" titled The Uninvited which wowed critics but failed to catch on with viewers. Throughout this time she was a constant presence in TV ads and on billboards in Korea and also in other Asian countries
2004 saw her return to the big screen in another film by Kwak Jae-yong, the director of My Sassy Girl. Windstruck cast her in the role of a policewoman, but many viewers felt it was too similar to My Sassy Girl. There were also signs that her popularity had started to suffer because of overexposure in advertisements. Nonetheless, Windstruck became the best-performing Korean film in Japan at the time, where My Sassy Girl was not as well known. In a 2005 survey of influential movie producers, she was ranked among the top ten most bankable stars in Korea
14 years after Happy Together in 1999, Jun made her highly anticipated return to television in fantasy romance My Love from the Star. Kim Soo-hyun (Jun's costar in The Thieves) played an alien who landed on earth 400 years ago during the Joseon Dynasty, then falls for a present-day top actress (played by Jun). The series was a ratings success, sparking trends in fashion, make-up and restaurants. Jun won the Daesang (or "Grand Prize"), the highest award for television, at the 2014 Baeksang Arts Awards and the 2014 SBS Drama Awards.
More than 600 guests, including celebrities and close friends and family of the star, attended her wedding to businessman Choi Joon-hyuk on 13 April 2012 at Shilla Hotel inJangchung-dong, central Seoul. Choi is the grandson of famed hanbok designer Lee Young-hee, who has a an M.D. P.h.D. and the son of fashion designer Lee Jung-woo. Jun graced the cover of Elle Korea's May 2012 edition as well as the magazine's China, Singapore and Taiwan editions with a pictorial of herself in various wedding gowns.
..and perhaps she is the best endorser for fashion and cosmetics.... Why? Just take a look at her Before and After photos...
Now that's simply unbelievable! I think she just slept the entire 12 year transition of those photos. 12 YEARS??!!!!! You've really got to be kidding me!!!! Why not ask her then? >>hahaha...<<

I mean "some." >>hahaha..<< Anyway it was reported that her income from endorsements and advertisements alone added up to about more than 30 billion won or 30 million USD! WOW!!!! Thanks to that drama, You who came from the stars, that helped her reach that "dominant status." She is not only the richest K-drama actress, thanks to her remunerative career as an advertising figure.
From fashion, makeup and skincare, appliances, mobile phones,water, food and restaurant...I think there's no way South Koreans wouldn't know her. She's famous all over Asia and even succeeded in penetrating the "International Light of Stardom."
People and mostly females are always updated with her clothing style and makeup that she endorses. Who wouldn't be intimidated with the Superstar Aura? She's an icon when it comes to her long and silky hair, her flawless skin, the shades of Lipstick that she use and even her fashion in the Airport.
