## Career
### Debut and early careers

Yeom made her screen debut in Bong Joon-ho's film Memories of Murder, which was released in 2003. It was during Yeom's portrayal of So-hyeon's mother in Yeonwoo's play This Lee (이 爾) that Director Bong witnessed her talent and invitated her to audition in his film.
In 2003, Yeom took part in a play produced by the theater company Iwa-sam, written and directed by Jang Woo-jae. The play, titled The Charyeoksa and the Accordion, depicts the story of an accordionist who wanders around the country looking for his runaway wife, his honest friend Cha Charyeoksa, a third-rate theater actor Yang Yang-sook, and a naive virgin girl called Sunny. Yeom's performance as Sunny was praised as chilling.
   It is a play called Charyeoksa and Accordion. I played the character 'Sunny' in the play, and it is an innocent and pure character. To the point of being stupid to other people. It resembles my favorite movie, 'Gelsomina from The Road'. I thought deeply about my sincerity while doing the piece.
The play was selected as 2003 Culture and Arts Promotion Agency New Artist Support and had an encore performance in 2004 thanks to the audience's response. Yeom reprised her role Sunny in the encore performance. In December 2004, Yeom won Popular Actress Award from 1st Beautiful Play Award voted by theater netizen for her performance as Sunny.

Yeom acted as Seon-ho's mother, opposite Kim Hak-sun who acted as the father. Yeom was praised for her performances and even called as the second Hwang Jung-min. Her costar also praised her performance and said,
   Hye-ran is an actress who can act as if memories of the past flood in at once, like a shaman receiving a reception.
The play "Ask the Blind Father for Directions" (하류인생에도 삶은 있어) won an award at The 16th Geochang International Theatre Festival and received support from the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture.
