Jihae is a South Korea-born actress, musician, and multimedia artist. She portrays Reverend Mother Kasha in HBO's Dune Prophecy. She recurred on HBO's Emmy-winning drama Succession Season 3 as Berry Schneider, winning a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series for this role.
She guest-starred in the 2020 Season Two debut episode of the Netflix series Altered Carbon, playing Kovac in disguise as a torch singer, performing the title track of her latest album, "Illusion of You," in the compelling opening sequence. This song, produced by Dave Stewart (Eurythmics and Songland), is also played during the end credits. In addition, her performance of 'I Got You Under My Skin' by Cole Porter is also featured in the opening episode.
In 2018, Jihae starred in Peter Jackson's Mortal Engines as Anna Fang, a fierce leader of the resistance in the epic dystopian saga. Rolling Stone claimed, "Jihae has an illegal amount of screen presence." Peter Jackson tells Pop Inquirer, "Jihae has an elegance and a power that is exactly what Anna Fang needed to be; she's a fantastic actor."
In her acting debut, Jihae starred in the television series Mars, playing a set of twin sisters: the commander of the first human colony on Mars and the Secretary-General of the Space Agency on Earth. Produced by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, the show's second season aired on Nat Geo TV in November 2018 across 171 countries.
Jihae wrote, produced, and starred in a multimedia rock opera based on her third album, 'Fire Burning Rain,' co-created and directed by Academy Award-winning playwright John Patrick Shanley. She has performed at the London Olympics, the Cannes Film Festival, and the United Nations General Assembly.
In addition to donating her time and performing for various nonprofits, including Hillary Clinton's Hours Against Hate, No Kid Hungry, and Acumen Funds, Jihae founded Let's Come Together, a creative platform that unites people in support of human rights. Her latest art project involves the first multimedia cow sculpture for the 100th Cow Parade in NYC, in which she designed 'Ether,' a motion-triggered cow that speaks and sings. A sonic and visual composition of Ether is displayed as a shepherd's call in reverse, representing one million plant and animal species facing extinction, as they call humanity back into harmony with nature to awaken us to the urgency of the climate systems nearing tipping points of no return.
