Park Shin-Hye (Korean: 박신혜, Hanja: 朴信惠, born February 18, 1990) is a South Korean actress.Educated at Seoul Young-Pa Girls' High school, she debuted in the 2003 Lee Seung-Hwan music video "Ggot - Flower." In 2003 she also received a Youth Award from the SBS Acting Awards.
Park's fame came when she played the younger version of the character Han Jung Suh in the popular Korean drama, Stairway to Heaven. She also starred in a 10 part mini series called Tree of Heaven which aired on SBS, starring her former co-star in Stairway to Heaven, Lee Wan. The show had decent ratings, and the reviews and criticism were mixed. And many keyed on in her portrayal of her character Hana's pain of loving her step brother Yoon-Suh Lee Wan as brilliantly done. It should also be noted due to the age difference between her and Wan, romantic scenes such as kissing on the lips could not occur, as seen in the scenes in the show where had it been an older actress, such scenes may have occurred. Tree of Heaven started with borderline mediocre ratings, but went on to finish very respectably, and gained a fan base in Korea, further helping Park's credibility and young career in acting. Also, Japanese companies have sent offers to Park's agents for her to advertise in their commercial, however, her agent has said she has yet to respond
