Source-derived summary

Ko Joo-yeon (Korean: 고주연; born February 22, 1994) is a South Korean actress who has gained attention in the Korean film industry for her roles in Blue Swallow (2005) and The Fox Family (2006). In 2007 she appeared in the horror film Epitaph as Asako, a young girl suffering from overbearing nightmares and aphasia, becoming so immersed in the role that she had to deal with sudden nosebleeds while on set.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1994, 2005, 2006, 2007—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1994-02-22. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Joo-yeon, South and Korean.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Ko Joo-yeon” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Joo-yeon, South and Korean provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q498369. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1994, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
