Career
Kyeon Mi-ri graduated from Seoul Traditional Arts High School in 1983, then studied Dance at Sejong University. She made her acting debut in 1984, and has since become active in television dramas, most notably as the arrogant and ambitious Lady Choi in the 2003 period drama Dae Jang Geum (or Jewel in the Palace), which was a hit not only in Korea but throughout Asia.[2]
In 2009, she ventured into the music industry and released her first album titled Happy Women, consisting of mainly trot songs.[3]
Personal life
Kyeon married actor Im Young-gyu in 1987, and they divorced in 1993.[4]
Kyeon remarried in 1998, to businessman Lee Hong-heon.[5] They have one son, Lee Ki-baek. Lee Hong-heon legally adopted Kyeon's two daughters from her first marriage, and they took on his surname; Lee Yu-bi and Lee Da-in are both actresses.[6][7]
In 2009, Kyeon was investigated for stock manipulation, with her husband Lee suspected of insider trading. She had bought 55,000 shares worth ₩900 million of the bioengineering startup FCBTwelve, then raked in up to ₩4.59 billion, making her the fourth biggest stock holder among entertainment celebrities at the time.[8] Kyeon denied any wrongdoing, saying she was simply an investor.[9][10]
