When Nam Sang Mi was working at a hamburger joint called Lotteria, she was noticed by college guys. She was a junior in high school. Hundreds came to Loterria just to see her. She became the famous Loterria Girl.

 
 

Her own fan site was made and guys uploaded pictures like this.

 

She strated appearing on TV.
 

Korean movie "Spy Girl" was loosely based on her.

 

She started apperaing on movies and dramas.

 
 
 
Guess who is getting kicked?

More Namsang Mi Picutures
 
 
 

Thanks for the info and the pics, Jason!

How could Nam Sang-mi not have had a topic until now? Shame on me for not making this topic sooner!

I have some pics of her too. Maybe I'll post a few of them.

You are welcome, Greg. We have a lot of works to do under Actresses. Have you heard of Han sisters? The Korean surname Han is not even top 10 surname in Korea where about 30% of the population belong to the Kims. But in the Korean entertainment industry, there are too many fine ladies with surname Han. Han Ga In, Han Chae Young , Han Ji Hye, Han Go Eun, Han Eun Jung, Han Ye Seul, and Han Hye Jin. They are all superstars in Korea.

I know Han Ga-in and Han Eun-jung!

You're right, we have serious work to do...

We already have Han Ji Hye in the forum.

As I understand it, there are only 2 'Nam' clans in Korea (I have this from 2 separate, independent sources). It's quite possible that Nam Sang Mi is related to my wife's family, however distantly.

As promised, some pics of Nam Sang-mi:

Oops, forgot to add this one. This is my favorite Nam Sang-mi pic, one of my avatars:

Was she the one playing the bitchy girl's sidekick/friend? The one who stood on one leg and waived her foot in SpyGirl's face?

I think so, but it's been a couple of years since I saw the series, so I'm not sure. She was the traffic cop that got drawn into the counter intelligence operation.

You know what. I wasn't paying attention to the thread. I was referring to that movie SpyGirl. Where SpyGirl is a North Korean spy that goes to work at Burger King.
