Jo Min-su (Korean: 조민수; born January 29, 1965)[1] is a South Korean actress. She is best known for her role in the Kim Ki-duk film Pietà.[2]

Career

[edit]

Jo Min-su graduated from a vocational high school, Gyungbok Girls' Commercial High School, and first entered the entertainment business by doing a television commercial for ₩120 thousand (about US$100). She debuted in 1986 via the KBS TV Cultural Center, then appeared first on the big screen in Chung: Blue Sketch. But her public profile grew more through her television roles than movies, culminating in a Best Actress trophy in the 1989 KBS Drama Awards. Among her other notable TV series were Sandglass, Daemang (also known as Great Ambition), and Piano.[3] After her marriage in 2005, she took a break from her acting career, but returned four years later with a memorable performance in Will It Snow for Christmas?.[2][4]

But 2012 would prove to be the now-veteran actress's breakthrough year. Though she initially had reservations about doing a film by controversial auteur Kim Ki-duk, Jo became thankful to Kim for giving her the chance "to work with new material from what I was used to in the past. There aren't too many roles that women my age can do. They all seem the same. But this role was different."[2] Her performance in Pietà brought her rave reviews and praise at the Venice Film Festival,[5] as well as from domestic critics and audiences, notably a Best Actress trophy at the Grand Bell Awards.[6] She was also awarded the prestigious Okgwan Order of Cultural Merit.[7][8][9]
