Im Sung Han is a South Korean screenwriter. Im is considered a hitmaker, as most of her projects reach 20-30% television ratings on average. But she is divisive, becoming a target of criticism from viewers and the media for her excessive use of provocative storylines (called "makjang" in Korean, this typically involves adultery, revenge, rape, birth secrets, fatal illnesses, and incest).
Im met assistant director Son Moon Kwon while filming "Dear Heaven", and the couple married in January 2007. On January 21, 2012, the 40-year-old Son committed suicide at his house in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province. Im was the one who found him and requested that the police keep his death a secret from his family and colleagues. News about Son’s death broke nearly a month later on February 13. In March 2012, Son’s family filed a ₩50 million lawsuit against Im for psychological injury because she told them of his death three weeks after the fact, and held the funeral secretly, preventing an opportunity for family and friends to pay their respects.
She is the aunt of the actress Baek Ok Dam.
