“School violence controversy” Kim Hieora completes musical without hitches “Will she be able to continue activities?”
Kim Hieora recently completed her musical performances without any hitches despite allegations of being part of a school gang and school violence
Now, the questions arise about her potential return to dramas and movies, or if she will have a hiatus until she can resolve the related controversies.
Kim Hieora performed in the musical “FRIDA” from August 1st to October 15th at the COEX Shinhan Card Artium in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Known for her strong singing abilities, she showcased her talents in every live performance.
Before the last performance of “FRIDA”, the production team expressed gratitude to the audience, thanking them for supporting the musical. However, reaching this point was not without difficulties, as Kim Hieora faced allegations of being part of a school gang and school violence.
Last month, a media outlet reported that Kim Hieora had been part of a school gang called “Big Sangji” during middle school, bringing allegations to light. Kim Hieora admitted to being a member of the gang, but vehemently denied the school violence claims. Subsequent reports and rebuttals between Kim Hieora and the media intensified, leading Kim Hieora’s side to announce plans for legal action.
The school violence controversy has had a significant impact on Kim Hieora’s acting career. Although she was on the rise with projects like Netflix’s “The Glory” and “The Uncanny Counter” season 2, Coupang Play’s “SNL Korea 4” canceled its broadcast after recording, and round interviews for “FRIDA” were also canceled.
Nevertheless, Kim Hieora continued “FRIDA” performances without interruption. She completed every show, and even shed tears upon seeing supportive fans in the audience during curtain calls, shortly after the school violence allegations came to light.
She was able to finish the musical thanks to her determination, but the temperature in the world of TV dramas and movies differs. According to insiders, Kim Hieora received various offers for TV drama and film roles before the school violence allegations became public. While she is expressing a sense of injustice regarding the allegations, the final decision regarding her casting rests with the directors and writers, but it comes with the burden of managing potential negative public opinion for production companies and broadcasting stations.
As a rare case of a celebrity who completed a musical amid controversy, people are watching with interest to see whether Kim Hieora will continue her activities in other projects.
