Kim Hieora (Korean: 김히어라; born March 18, 1989),[2] is a South Korean actress. She gained recognition for her role as Lee Sa-ra in The Glory (2022 –2023).

Career[edit]

Kim made her acting debut in the musical Jack the Ripper in 2009, and has had a long career since then acting in plays and musicals.[3]

In 2021, she made her face known in a television series Beyond Evil, Hospital Playlist 2, Bad and Crazy, and Extraordinary Attorney Woo.[3]

2022–present: Rise in popularity[edit]

Kim gained prominence by playing the role of Lee Sa-ra, a drug-addicted painter and one of the perpetrators of school violence in the Netflix TV series The Glory. She said in an interview that the director asked if she would read for the role due to her eyes. Kim looked for many references while preparing for this role.[4]

In April 2023, Kim signed with Gram Entertainment, a one-man agency founded by her manager who has been with her for a long time.[5] Kim is set to appear in tvN's drama The Uncanny Counter for a second season, which scheduled to premiere in the second half of 2023.[6]

Bullying allegations controversy[edit]

In September 2023, shortly after the The Uncanny Counter finished airing its second season (in which Kim was a cast member), there were school bullying allegations put up against Kim, who was allegedly a member of an infamous gang of school bullies from her middle school. Kim later admitted to being a bystander but denied any direct participation in the bullying of her fellow schoolmates back in middle school, in contrast to the victim's claims of her supposed involvement.[7]
