9. Q&A About This Korean Artist

Q: Why are many talented Korean actresses not as popular as mainstream actresses?
The Korean entertainment industry is highly competitive with strict and limited beauty standards. Popularity often depends on hit projects, large agencies, and the right timing. Many talented actresses find themselves stuck in supporting roles or do not get the opportunity for major projects that could elevate their careers to superstar status.

Q: What makes Korean actresses "underrated"?
Underrated actresses are those who have excellent acting abilities but have not received recognition commensurate with their talent. Contributing factors include: lack of media exposure, limited casting types, stiff competition with established actresses, or not having found an iconic breakthrough role.

Q: Is Ryu Hye Young still active after the success of REPLY 1988?
Yes, Ryu Hye Young is still active and made a successful comeback through LAW SCHOOL in 2021. Although there was a considerable gap after REPLY 1988, her performance as Kang Sol A proved that she still possesses outstanding acting skills and deserves other major projects.

Q: Why hasn't Seo Ji Hye become a leading lady despite her good acting?
Seo Ji Hye often excels in complex supporting roles, but the Korean industry tends to give leading roles to actresses with certain visuals or those who are already established. Her ability to portray characters with emotional depth is actually very suitable for leading roles, but it requires the right project.

Q: Does an idol background affect Kang Mi Na's acceptance as an actress?
Yes, former idols often face skepticism about their acting abilities. Kang Mi Na has to work harder to prove that her transition to acting is serious. However, some idols like IU and D.O.EXO have managed to gain recognition, so there is hope for Kang Mi Na with consistent dedication.

Q: How can underrated actresses gain more recognition?
They need to: choose challenging projects that showcase their abilities, work with renowned directors, consistently build their portfolio, be active on social media to engage with fans, and hope for a breakthrough role that goes viral or is critically acclaimed.

Q: Do agencies influence the popularity of actresses?
The influence is very significant. Large agencies have connections with producers, directors, and networks to get prestigious projects. They also have larger marketing budgets. Actresses in smaller agencies have to work harder and often rely on word-of-mouth and pure talent.

Q: Why is Kim So Eun not as popular as she was after BOYS OVER FLOWERS?
After her breakthrough role, Kim So Eun has received fewer projects with comparable script quality and character development. The Korean industry also moves quickly with new faces, so actresses must consistently land hit projects to maintain relevance and popularity in the eyes of the public.

Q: What is the role of social media for underrated actresses?
Social media is very important for building a personal brand and direct connection with fans. Underrated actresses can showcase their personality, behind-the-scenes content, and interact with international fans. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok help them stay relevant even when there are no big projects.

Q: Can underrated Korean actresses succeed in the international market?
With the booming Hallyu Wave and global streaming platforms, underrated actresses have a greater chance of being recognized internationally. Some supporting actors from hit dramas have gained global recognition. What is important is consistency, choosing the right projects, and leveraging the momentum of Hallyu for career expansion.
