Nangon Hwae Ji otherwise more known by the current stage name Kei Nangon or previously as Roxanne K. Hyunah is a model and actress, active in both South Korea and Japan. Nangon is known to be one of the most respected and influential figures in the Korean entertainment industry and the highest paid actress and celebrity endorsers in Korea, consistently topping surveys by industry insiders and the general public as one of South Korea's "ideal women". In Japan she is the most successful Korean actress and model with the largest active fan base.

Standing at a towering height when just fourteen years of age, she was discovered on the streets by SM Entertainment. After five years of training, she made minor appearances and endorsed several products. In 2010 she moved to Japan and joined S&P Entertainment after lawsuit disputes with her previous company. In August, she made her debut with the Hollywood film The Warrior's Way. Later she made several appearances in dramas and movies.

The peak of her career was reached the very next year with the role in the award winning movie Chilling Romance, she was nominated five times for various awards. The highly anticpated drama Can You Hear My Heart? also gained her proper recognition from a model to an actress. In October 2011, she formally announced she will be going on an infinite hiatus from the entertainment industry in order to concentrate on her studies after she received an Ivy League Scholarship from Stanford University.
