Kim Borana, professionally known as Borana, is a South Korean actress and singer born on October 16, 1972, in Seoul. She began her entertainment career in 1987 after winning the Photogenic Award at the Miss Lotte pageant, which led to her debut as a model for Lotte Confectionery. In 1992, she was officially selected as part of SBS's second talent recruitment class, marking her transition into acting. Throughout the 1990s, Borana appeared in various television dramas, films, and musicals, and served as the lead vocalist on Uptown's fourth album Verbal Medication in 1999. That same year, she married music producer Dick (Gu Yong-hui) and temporarily retired from public life.
