Actress Kim Ji-won has experienced a strong rise in popularity recently, partly due to the success of her latest K-drama, “Queen of Tears”.
However, as Kim Ji-won was selected to become the next model following Han So-hee for a famous alcohol brand, accusations of Kim Ji-won stealing fame from Han So-hee and taking advantage of the latter’s recent controversies started to emerge.
Upon seeing these accusations, however, netizens were baffled and started to defend Kim Ji-won. A topic regarding this was published on the Korean forum Pann Nate, and has garnered over 50,000 views after one day.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- Kim Ji-won is pretty, good at acting, doesn’t have any flaws, and doesn’t have any controversy, so there’s nothing to criticize. As a result, haters are starting to make stuff up. They seriously need to leave her alone
- Kim Ji-won is by no means overrated or in need to steal fame from Han So-hee. She has always been really popular
- Calling Kim Ji-won overrated despite her oustanding filmography… She even started from a supporting role and worked her way up. Haters are funny and are trying too hard to overcome their own insecurities.
- She has been a top actress for a long time….
