Kim Min-seon (김민선)

Actress Kim Min-seon, 30, who was sued over comments she made regarding U.S. beef imports, has changed her first name to Gyoo-ri and will act under the new name, her agency said Thursday.

"She recently changed her name to Kim Gyoo-ri and received a new residential identification card under the new name", her agency TN Entertainment said. She has completed all legal procedures to make the change, it said.

"The new name is actually the one she has been called at home since her childhood", an agency official said. "She will act under the new name going forward. It represents a new start for her".

In May last year, she was at the center of dispute involving comments she made on her Web site, where she wrote that she'd "rather drink potassium cyanide than eat U.S. beef and bones tainted with bovine spongiform encephalopathy virus".
