Nicknamed Barbie Doll, the model-turned-actress got her break into showbiz when she won a modelling competition in 2001.
The plastic beauty became a star after appearing in the MBC drama Nonstop 4 in 2003. However, she became even more popular through the 2006 drama series Couple or Trouble (currently showing on Malaysia’s 8TV). In the drama, she plays Anna Jo, a haughty actress who has amnesia.
Born Kim Ye-seul, the 25-year-old speaks fluent English because she was born and raised in Los Angeles. She reportedly graduated from Cerritos College with a degree in computer graphics.
Ye-seul, who loves acting, ironically doesn’t like watching dramas or movies. One of her goals is to break into Hollywood some day.

So that explains why she spoke “unkoreanlike” english w/out that strong korean accent in ep 1 of Couple or Trouble (that auction scene)
I even replayed the scene in mandarin to make sure it was not the dubbing artiste’s voice
Way to go, Han Ye-seul! = )
she’s a plastic beauty?? wow.. i’m impressed.. do u hv her before and after look?? *grin*

I think she is definitely a plastic beauty because in many of her photo shoots she resembles the Chinese actress Fan Bing Bing A LOT.
