Early life[edit]

auditions and, at the age of 12, she became a JYP Entertainment (JYPE) trainee.[citation

Career[edit]

Career with Wonder Girls[edit]

In 2007, she was revealed as a third member of Wonder Girls, a girl group managed by
JYP Entertainment, after two years of training. The group debuted with the single "Irony",
featuring Sohee as a dancer and vocalist with the group. The group quickly rose to
stardom with their hits "Tell Me", "So Hot" and "Nobody" in less than two years from their
debut. Ahn was nicknamed "Nation's Little Sister" by the media.[3]

Ahn's career with JYPE and Wonder Girls came to an end in December 2013, when her
contract with the company expired and she decided not to renew.[4][5]

Acting career and other activities[edit]

Ahn made her acting debut in 2004 at the age of 12 with a minor role in Yu Dae-eol's short
film The Synesthesia for Overtone Construction, in which Ahn portrayed a deaf girl.[6]

In early 2008, Ahn made her big screen debut alongside Lee Mi-sook and Kim Min-hee in
the romantic comedy Hellcats, directed by Kwon Chil-in of Singles. The film is adapted
from the popular Korean comic 10, 20 and 30, and is about the views of modern Korean
women towards love and life.[7]

In 2013, Ahn landed first leading role in Happy! Rose Day alongside Jung Woong-in, a
drama about a girl in her early 20s who works at a flower shop.[8][9]

In 2014, Ahn signed a contract with the management agency BH Entertainment. [10] The
same year, she starred in tvN's romantic comedy series Heart to Heart, playing an aspiring
actress.[11]

In September 2015, Ahn's contract with BH Entertainment expired and she later signed
with KeyEast.[12]

In 2016, she starred in South Korea's first zombie movie, Train to Busan, playing a high
school student and a loyal supporter of the baseball team.[13] The film premiered in the
Midnight Screenings section at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival on May 13, 2016[14] and
later surpassed 11 million admissions.[15] Despite the film's success, Ahn was criticized for
her acting performance.[16] Later that year, she featured in tvN's Korean remake of the
American series Entourage, playing the love interest of Seo Kang-joon's character.[17]

In 2017, Ahn starred in the thriller A Single Rider alongside Lee Byung-hun and Gong Hyo-
jin, where she received praise for her portrayal of a solitary teenager.[18]

In 2018, Ahn acted as Anu, who is a lively and assertive Mongolian woman with Yeon
Woo-jin as Hyuga, a pure-hearted Mongolian man on the short movie Anu and Hyuga,
also known as Mongolian Love Story.[19]

In 2019, Ahn was cast as one of the female lead roles in Welcome to Waikiki 2.[20] In July
2019, she starred in a short film Memories, playing as a mysterious woman.[21]

In 2022, Ahn starred in the drama Thirty-Nine as Kim So-won, younger sister of Kim Seon-
woo and a pianist.[22]
