Bae Doona is a South Korean actress and photographer. She is best known outside Korea for her role as the protagonist's political activist girlfriend, Cha Young-mi, in Park Chan-wook's film Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) and as archer Park Nam-ju in The Host (2006).

In 1999 she made the switch to acting, debuting in the TV drama School. Later the same year, she appeared as the ghost in The Ring Virus, a Korean remake of the Japanese horror film Ring. In 2000, director Bong Joon-ho cast her as Hyeon-nam in the film Barking Dogs Never Bite for her willingness to do the part without makeup, something other South Korean actresses were unwilling to do. In Kim So-young's documentary Women's History Trilogy (2000–2004), Bae notes her admiration for veteran South Korean actress Yoon Jeong-hee.

Yoon returns the compliment saying "Bae Doo-na owns her world." In this same documentary, Bae shares how her own most memorable scene is being chased by the homeless man throughout the apartment in Barking Dogs Never Bite. That same year she gave a risque performance (albeit with a body double for the more intense scenes) in Plum Blossom, and slowly started getting more work on television. She followed this with two more critical successes, 2001's Take Care of My Cat, directed by Jeong Jae-eun, and 2002's Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, directed by Park Chan-wook.
