About

Actress Song Ji Hyo was born as Cheon Seong Im on August 15, 1981, in Pohang, North Gyeongsang. Her mother was a South Korean national swimmer representative.

Song finished her graduate degree in tax accounting from Kyungmoon University. She has revealed that she used to receive many business cards from scout recruiters in her youth, but, since she hadn't thought about becoming an actress, she would receive the cards and throw them away.

The now famous actress would eventually be cast while working on a part-time job in a café during her university days.
