Long before Netflix's Juvenile Justice was released, Kim Hye Soo was among South Korea's top-notch leading ladies, starring in a variety of K-dramas.
She could definitely deliver a stellar performance regardless of the genre, from action, thriller, suspense, even the heart fluttering romance and comedy.

With over three decades in the industry and countless recognitions and awards under her name, here's how rich Kim Hye Soo is starting with her net worth.

According to What's the Net Worth, Kim Hye Soo's net worth is around 2 million USD, where a big chunk of her wealth is from her acting career, endorsements and more.

In a report cited by Koreaboo, Kim Hye Soo's mother was accused of over 1.1 million USD through fraud, claiming it was for a business.
However, the investors, which includes people of high status, reportedly claimed that they only lent her a huge amount of money because she was Kim Hye Soo's mother.
Representatives of her agency revealed that the actress has repeatedly been covering for her mother and has decided to cut ties years ago.
On the other hand, AllKpop mentioned that someone claimed to be the Hyena star's friend and revealed that Kim Hye Soo had no choice but to "hand over nearly all of her possessions to pay off her mom's debt."
Because of this, she had to live way below her means and was forced to "rent a small, old apartment to live in."
Fortunately, in 2019, the Supreme Court raised that "Kim Hye Soo bears no responsibility for her mother's lawsuit."
