Lee Jin (Korean: 이진; born March 21, 1980) is a South Korean singer and actress. She made her entertainment debut as a member of theK-popgirl groupFin.K.L, along withLee Hyori,Ock Joo-hyun, andSung Yu-ri. After Fin.K.L came to an unofficial end in 2002, Lee became an actress.
Lee Jin joinedFin.K.L after her friendOck Joo-hyun—the first member to be selected for the group—introduced her to the casting director selecting the group's members.[citation needed] She sang Eco's "Heng Bok Han Na Reul" and was immediately selected to be in the group.
In 2002, the members from the girl group started solo activities. Lee had long expressed her interest in acting, before her debut she was inMBC'sPolice People. Subsequently, she starred in the popular sitcomNonstop.
In 2005, Lee joined the variety programX-Man. On the show, Lee signalled that she had grown into a "lady" from her Fin.K.L teenage days via a change in her hairstyle and clothes. InX-Man, she became known for her stiff dance steps, so she had to create new stiff dance steps for the intro dance segment in each episode. She was also known for being the show'sulzzang ("best/pretty face"), having been chosen by many of the male guests to be their partner in the couple game.
In 2010, Lee also appeared inHeroes where 12 artists competed in games to garner the popular title or will fall into the unpopular group. In this program, she showed her nice and warm-hearted personality.
Lee is a playable character in the video gameTony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (only in the South Korean PC version).[citation needed]
