Park Bo-young (born February 12, 1990) is a South Korean actress. She is best known for her roles in the hit films Scandal Makers and A Werewolf Boy, and the television series Oh My Ghostess.
Career
Park Bo-young made her official acting debut in the 2006 high school TV series Secret Campus alongside fellow newcomer Lee Min-ho. Among the notable projects during this early stage in her career are historical epic The King and I, Peabody Award-winning teen drama Jungle Fish, and a short film directed by Lee Hyun-seung for human rights-themed omnibus If You Were Me 4.
Park rose to fame after starring opposite Cha Tae-hyun in comedy Speedy Scandal (also known as Scandal Makers), which drew 8.3 million viewers to become the number one top grosser of 2008 and one of Korean cinema's biggest hits. Described by Variety as "excellent" in her role as a spunky teenage mom, Park's much-praised performance swept Best New Actress awards in 2009.
However, in 2010 she became involved in a series of legal disputes with her then-management agency and a film production company, causing the actress to be tied up in lawsuits and unable to work for the next few years.
