Kang Sung-yeon (Korean: 강성연; born July 21, 1976) is a South Korean actress. She made her acting debut in 1996 through MBC's Open Recruitment. Although her main profession was acting, she also contributed songs to several soundtracks and released two albums between 2001 and 2002 under the stage name Bobo. Kang rose to fame in 2005 for her role as Prince Yeonsan's concubine Jang Nok-su in The King and the Clown, a period film that drew 12.3 million admissions, making it (at the time) the highest-grossing domestic film in Korean cinema history. Kang continued to star in television dramas such as Let's Get Married (2005), New Wise Mother, Good Wife (2007), Single Dad in Love (2008), Tazza (2008), and Wife Returns (2009). From 2012 to 2014, she hosted her own poetry reading program on EBS Radio.
