Claudia Kim Heads to JTBC Drama God's Bead After Baeksang Supporting Actress Win
Claudia Kim shared a relaxed golf cart update as her career momentum continues after winning Best Supporting Actress at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards for A Normal Family. She is set to return to Korean drama with JTBC's God's Bead.
Actress Claudia Kim left a short sentence, “Find your people,” along with a photo of her enjoying a rest while sitting on a golf cart. Although it looks like a single shot of a light daily life, recent news for Claudia Kim follows her Baeksang Arts Awards Supporting Actress win for the film 'A Normal Family' and her next project, the new JTBC drama 'God's Bead'.
Claudia Kim, who made her name by winning 1st place in the 2005 Korea-China Supermodel Contest, did not stop at being described merely as an actress from a modeling background. She began acting in the 2006 SBS drama 'Queen of Games' and imprinted her face on domestic viewers through 'Brain', '7th Grade Civil Servant', and the sitcom 'Standby'.
A Filmography Spanning Hollywood and Domestic Dramas
Claudia Kim's starting point was the 2005 Korea-China Supermodel Contest. As a rookie without prior modeling experience, she drew attention by taking 1st place in the contest, and this history soon led to her acting debut. Her early filmography also includes the New Star Award at the 2006 SBS Drama Awards and the Excellence Award for Female in the Comedy Sitcom category at the 2012 MBC Entertainment Awards.
Afterward, her stage of activity expanded further. She appeared in the Netflix series 'Marco Polo' and the films 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' and 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald'. Her roles as Dr. Helen Cho in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' and Nagini in 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' were parts that introduced the Korean actress Claudia Kim to international audiences.
Baeksang Supporting Actress Win for ‘A Normal Family’
The recent answer came from the film 'A Normal Family'. Claudia Kim received the Best Supporting Actress award in the film category at the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards in 2025 for this work. In the film, Jisu is less a character who pushes an incident forward and more a role that changes the air and temperature among the wavering family members. Rather than large emotional expressions, Claudia Kim built the character's tension through small differences in tone, facial expressions, and gaze.
Her affection for the work was also evident in her acceptance speech. After expressing gratitude to director Hur Jin-ho, she said, “Going to the filming set was so, so much fun that I felt sad to go home.” Within those words lay the heart of an actress who has passed through a long time to once again obtain and prove herself on set.
Next Project Confirmed: JTBC New Drama ‘God’s Bead’
Claudia Kim has confirmed the new JTBC drama 'God's Bead' as her next project. Her relaxed recent update shared from the golf course is a welcome daily moment for fans, and to readers following her career, it feels like a scene of catching one's breath before a new work.
Having passed through 1st place in a supermodel contest, appearances in major overseas productions, and a Baeksang Supporting Actress win, Claudia Kim is now heading back to Korean dramas. The anticipation for what face Claudia Kim will show in 'God's Bead' after 'A Normal Family' has also begun.
