Kim Da-som (Korean: 김다솜; born May 6, 1993) is a South Korean actress and singer. She is best known as a former member of South Korean girl groupSistar and formerly underStarship Entertainment. She has acted in films and television dramas, includingFamily (2012–2013),Melody of Love (2013–2014),The Virtual Bride (2015),Sister is Alive (2017) andHe Is Psychometric (2019).
Before debuting as a singer, Dasom had entered and won various poem and song-writing contests.[3] Since childhood, Dasom had dreamed of becoming an actress. She shared that she grew up watching classic movies and, during her second year of middle school, would watch two films a day during her vacations. She was particularly captivated by the works of directors likeHitchcock,Kubrick, andLuc Besson.[4]
Dasom naturally thought that she wanted to act. This led her to enroll in the acting department at Anyang Arts High School while misleading her parents about attending an English academy. During that time, she was approached by a scout to debut in their company; however, her parents recommended that she audition for a bigger agency. She was then taken in by her brother and auditioned atJYP Entertainment, where she eventually passed and started her training career. Later on, she moved toCube Entertainment but, by chance, auditioned atStarship Entertainment as an actress but was eventually offered a spot inSistar. She mentioned that she regretted missing a lot of her school days due to debuting while still in high school, but she also felt fulfilled for having achieved her dream.[5]
In July 2012, Kim made her acting debut in KBS' daily sitcomFamily, playing a high school punk.[7] She also appeared in the music video for boy bandVIXX's song "Rock Ur Body,"[8] released on August 13, 2012, and inK.Will's music video for the song "Please Don't," released on October 10, 2012.[9]
