Kim Tae-hee Bids Farewell to 'Butterfly' with Heartfelt Message, Solidifying Global Stardom

As Amazon Prime Video's series 'Butterfly', also a special tvN production, nears its finale, lead actress Kim Tae-hee has shared her sincere gratitude and affection for the project.

Playing the role of Kim Eun-ju, the wife of a former US intelligence agent David Jung (Daniel Dae Kim), Kim Tae-hee has garnered critical acclaim for her profound emotional depth and immersive performance. This role marks a significant step, expanding her acting spectrum onto the global stage beyond her established status as a top Korean drama star.

Speaking ahead of the final two episodes airing on the 6th, Kim Tae-hee conveyed her feelings on the 5th: "The last two episodes of 'Butterfly' are broadcast today and tomorrow. It feels like concluding a beautiful journey." She added, "I was so deeply moved by the enthusiastic welcome and affection shown by my fans after a long hiatus, and I am grateful to everyone who loved 'Butterfly.' Please enjoy the final two episodes this week."

In the previous episodes, Eun-ju faced critical situations as she and David were pursued by the 'Kadiz' organization. Despite narrowly escaping danger, she decided to temporarily part ways with David and stay with her parents to protect her daughter and family. The series has focused on her determination to safeguard her loved ones in her own way, with Kim Tae-hee's nuanced portrayal highlighting the character's complexities and human vulnerability amidst chaos and internal conflict.

Successfully navigating a new environment and language, Kim Tae-hee has proven her potential as a global actress. Her role in 'Butterfly' has firmly established her presence beyond Korean shores, and anticipation is high for her future projects and diverse characters.

Kim Tae-hee debuted in the entertainment industry through a commercial in 2000 and rose to stardom with dramas like 'Stairway to Heaven', 'Iris', and the film 'A Moment to Remember'. She married singer Rain in 2017 and they have two daughters.
