Moon So-ri was born inBusan, South Korea, on July 2, 1974. She is the eldest daughter of Moon Chang-jun, a taxi driver, and Lee Hyang-ran, a street-food vendor,[1] and has one younger brother Moon Yang-il. Her family relocated toSamjeon-dong,Songpa-gu, Seoul, during her fifth year of elementary school.[1][2] She subsequently attended Seoul Samjeon Elementary School, Seokchon Middle School, and Jamsil Girls' High School.[3]
In 1990, as a freshman at Jamsil Girls' High School, Moon watched her first play,Equus, which starredShin Goo andChoi Min-sik. This experience sparked her interest in acting. However, her frail health and a restrictive upbringing limited her access to acting at that time. From middle school, her parents required her to study violin and classical literature. Later she majored in education atSungkyunkwan University.[4][5]
Upon university enrollment in 1993, Moon's improved health allowed her to actively pursue acting. She joined both the drama club and the Korean traditional music club, where she studied instruments such as thegayageum. She undertookpansori under Nam Hae-seong, the owner of the pansoriSugungga, which included a month of intensive study in Namwon.[5]
In 1995, during her third year of university, Moon joined the theater group Hangang ("Han River"), which led her to forgo midterm examinations. She initially performed administrative tasks before participating in the original playClassroom Idea. She secured a role portraying a wealthy girl due to her violin skills, joining the production midway through rehearsals. Moon remained with Hangang until 1997. She supported herself through part-time jobs, using her earnings to fund ballet lessons, which resulted in her graduating from college approximately 18 months later than her peers.[5][6]
After graduating fromSungkyunkwan University in February 1999, Moon applied for the 26th MBC open talent exam, but failed.[7] Recognizing her limited prior acting experience and industry connections, she chose to pursue academic study in acting and was accepted into the Department of Theater atSeoul Institute of the Arts.[8]
That year, Moon learned of an audition forLee Chang-dong'sPeppermint Candy throughCine21. The audition process lasted two to three months, during which she considered whether to pursue the role or continue her college education. After consulting an assistant director, she contacted Lee directly. Although Lee could not guarantee the role, he advised her to make her own decision. Moon opted to withdraw from college and received a tuition refund. Despite industry preference for a more established actress, she secured the role after competing against 2,000 other hopefuls, making her debut alongsideSul Kyung-gu. Lee was reportedly impressed by Moon’s natural and relatable presence, and her initiative in contacting him also influenced the casting.[5]

During this time, she reconnected withLee Chang-dong who was volunteering while researching for his upcoming filmOasis.[5]
InLee Chang-dong'sOasis, Moon reunited withSul Kyung-gu to portray Han Gong-ju, a woman withcerebral palsy. Initially considering established actors, Lee asked Moon to submit an audition tape within two weeks using a 6mm camera. Moon prepared by studying cerebral palsy documentaries but struggled with the portrayal and considered withdrawing until actress Oh Ji-hye encouraged her to submit the tape. Moon then spent an additional two months on intensive preparation, which included script study and gaining firsthand experience of disability by using a wheelchair. Filming forOasis lasted six months.[5][11][12] Her portrayal earned her theMarcello Mastroianni Award for Emerging Actress at the2002 Venice Film Festival—making her the second Korean recipient afterKang Soo-yeon in 1985 forThe Surrogate Woman—and Best Actress at theSeattle International Film Festival.[13]
The following year, Moon gained further acclaim inIm Sang-soo's third filmA Good Lawyer's Wife.
