On June 20, former reality TV personality Mr. Kim shared several photos of Jin Ki-joo portraying investigator Im Han-rim, a member of the Teacher Rights Protection Bureau in Teach You a Lesson. Alongside the images, he expressed admiration for her transformation and performance.
Commenting on Jin Ki-joo’s student disguise in the drama, Mr. Kim wrote: “She was born in 1989 and is already in her late 30s, but there’s absolutely no sense of awkwardness when she’s dressed as a student.” He also highlighted scenes featuring the actress’s strong language and intense acting. “She curses so naturally that it makes her even more charming. She looks like someone who wouldn’t swear at all, so seeing her do it so effortlessly is cute.” His remarks suggested that he was impressed by how convincingly she portrayed a character that differs significantly from her usual public image.
Addressing the ongoing debate surrounding Jin Ki-joo’s performance, Mr. Kim made it clear that he disagrees with the criticism. “I don’t understand the acting controversy at all. She’s simply working hard and immersing herself in the character. Why is everyone so bothered by it?”
His comments come after mixed reactions emerged following the release of Teach You a Lesson on June 5. While some viewers praised Jin Ki-joo’s passionate portrayal of Im Han-rim, others criticized her vocal delivery and shouting scenes, leading to online discussions about her acting style.
ưBorn in 1982, Mr. Kim gained public attention through the ENA and SBS Plus dating reality show I Am Solo, Love Forever. Earlier this year, he publicly confirmed his relationship with Soon-ja from the 28th season of I Am Solo. However, the couple recently announced their breakup. The split has since attracted attention online, with both parties reportedly exchanging public accusations through their respective social media accounts.
Despite the controversy surrounding some aspects of the performances, Teach You a Lesson remains a topic of discussion among viewers. The series stars Jin Ki-joo as Im Han-rim, a central figure tasked with addressing issues related to school violence and teacher rights. All episodes of the drama are currently available for streaming on Netflix.
As debate over her performance continues, Mr. Kim’s public endorsement has added another voice to the conversation, with the reality TV star insisting that the criticism directed at Jin Ki-joo is unwarranted.
