"Han Chae-young"


Han Chae-young (born Kim Ji-young on September 13, 1980) is a South Korean actress.

Kim Ji-young was born in Daegu, South Korea, but her family soon migrated to the United States and she spent her growing up years in a Chicago suburb. During one of her visits to Korea, she was reportedly discovered by a famed Korean comedian who suggested that she put her college plans on hold and try acting.

Taking on the stage name Han Chae-young, she made her acting debut in 2000 through horror film The Record. She then played the antagonist in popular TV melodrama Autumn Fairy Tale.

The press dubbed her "Barbie Doll of Korea" — for her tall, shapely proportions. Though this image would land her numerous commercial endorsements, her acting projects in the next few years saw Han typecast as an unapproachable beauty from a wealthy background.



But she made her breakthrough in 2005's Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang, a modern-day, romantic comedy retelling of the famous folktale Chunhyangjeon. Playing the titular role of a smart, lively high school girl who matures into a self-sufficient woman, Han shot to stardom throughout Asia with the success of the TV series.

After playing a single mother with culinary dreams in 2005's Only You and a jilted girl looking for employment in 2006's Exhibition of Fireworks, she reverted back to a glamorous character in 2007 couple-swapping film Changing Partners (a.k.a. Love Now).



She surprised fans by acting on stage for the first time in Jang Jin's play Clumsy People, which had a sell-out theater run from December 7, 2007 to March 2, 2008. Later that year she released her clothing line Rachel Han's (taken from her American name), produced in conjunction with online retailer G-Market.

In 2009 she made a special guest appearance in the smash hit drama Boys Over Flowers and starred in the film Good Morning President alongside top Korean actor Jang Dong-gun.



Han said her cheerful character in the film Girlfriends resembled her real self the most and was also the role she said she "had the most fun playing."

Horror film Soul Mates, a Korea-New Zealand co-production, was supposed to have been Han's English-language international debut, but the project was cancelled.

After a lengthy hiatus from the small screen (her 2009 fashion drama Magazine Allo did not push through due to plagiarism charges), Han was cast as a down-to-earth rookie journalist in 2010's manhwa adaptation A Man Called God.



She then played Lee Byung-hun's love interest in The Influence, an online mystery-fantasy movie about a love that transcends time and space. Hoping for a Hollywood crossover, the English-speaking actress signed with agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA) that same year.

Considered a Korean wave star due to the popularity of Choon-hyang, Han has begun expanding her career to the mainland Chinese market. She starred in the 2011 fantasy-comedy A Big Deal opposite Blue Lan, Leon Jay Williams, and Chapman To. She has also been cast in a leading role in Chinese drama Wu Xie Ke Ji Zhi Lan Se Meng Xiang (lit. "Dream in Blue") opposite Zhu Zi Xiao, which will be aired on Zhejiang TV in 2012.

Han Chae-young married Korean-American financial expert Choi Dong-joon on June 2, 2007 at Hotel Shilla in Seoul.

Seorang rekan saya memiliki anak berusia 11 tahun yang baru saja dioperasi usus buntu karena diindikasikan memiliki apendisitis (radang usus buntu). Radang usus buntu memang salah satu penyakit yang paling umum, terutama pada kelompok anak-anak dan remaja usia 11-20 tahun. 'Hospital Bed' photo (c) 2009, CJ Sorg - license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ Karena radang usus buntu sangat umum, penting bagi kita semua untuk memiliki sedikit pemahaman mengenainya. Saya sendiri sering sekali mendapatkan pertanyaan-pertanyaan seperti: Apakah usus buntu? Mengapa usus buntu meradang? Bagaimana mengetahui saya terkena radang usus buntu? Apakah operasi adalah satu-satunya pilihan pengobatan? Apakah ada alternatif non-operasi? Bagaimana mencegahnya? dll. Untuk itu mari kita bahas pertanyaan tersebut satu per satu. Apakah usus buntu? Usus buntu adalah sebuah organ sebesar jari dengan panjang beberapa sentimeter yang menempel di sekum (bagian pertama dari usus besar),
