In a 2018 interview, Im revealed she had been a vegetarian for three years.<\/p>\n<p>In tvN\u2019s weekend drama How to Become a Building Owner in Korea, Im plays Kim Sun, the wife of Gi Su-jong (Ha Jung-woo) and a surprising, pivotal figure who disrupts the series\u2019 balance. As the plot accelerates, she has emerged as a key player, offering fresh facets of the character and delivering jolts of excitement each episode.<\/p>\n<p>In episodes 5 and 6, which aired on the 28th and 29th of last month, Kim Sun and her husband Gi Su-jong joined forces to contain an unintended crisis and protect their family. Kim Sun negotiated with Oh Dong-gi (Hyun Bong-sik), who knows the truth behind the kidnapping, helping to steady Gi Su-jong\u2019s shaken resolve. She also helped carry out a plan to pin Jeon Yi-kyung\u2019s (Jung Soo-jung) abduction on Oh Dong-gi, revealing a bold, decisive side.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr\/image\/2026\/04\/CP-2023-0073\/image-789f601c-d017-4066-8b39-0c0e713e1385.jpeg\" alt=\"&nbsp;Ten Asia\" \/><figcaption>&nbsp;Ten Asia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kim Sun\u2019s secret affair with Min Hwal-seong (Kim Jun-han), and the guilt she feels toward Jeon Yi-kyung, raise the stakes as she keeps the betrayal tightly hidden. Beneath a composed surface, she reveals a ruthless streak when circumstances demand it. By actively supporting Gi Su-jong, she sustains the urgent, high-stakes cooperation that keeps the drama gripping.<\/p>\n<p>Im has cemented her reputation as a \u201cgenre queen,\u201d steering intense suspense while deftly moving between black comedy and thriller tones. She meticulously maps Kim Sun\u2019s transformation from ordinary housewife to an accomplice in crime, tracing each emotional beat with careful precision.<\/p>\n<p>Im\u2019s quiet, commanding presence shapes the show\u2019s atmosphere. With restrained, natural performances, she convincingly builds the character\u2019s inner life, using subtle shifts in gaze and tone to register complex emotional currents. Her seasoned craft deepens Kim Sun\u2019s dimensionality, and viewers are watching closely to see how Im will continue to develop this role at the center of the story.<\/p>\n<p>The drama airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>TenAsia reporter Lee So-jeongn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actress Im Soo-jung captivates viewers with her role in &#8216;How to Become a Building Owner in Korea,&#8217; showcasing her versatile acting skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr\/image\/2026\/04\/CP-2023-0073\/image-1dc3d72d-294f-4c5c-9a40-fbf29941d15f.jpeg","footnotes":""},"categories":[278103],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-255225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is Im Soo-jung the New &#039;Genre Queen&#039;?
