“Queen Of Tears'” Kim Ji Won Implicated In Han So Hee’s Fall From Grace, Fans Erupt In Anger

Netizens defended Kim Ji Won from anti-fans who alleged that her rise in fame was due to Han So Hee‘s recent controversy.

On April 9, a post titled “Why Are People Saying Kim Ji Won Is Overrated?” went viral. In the post, a netizen defended Kim Ji Won’s meteoric rise to fame as having nothing to do with Han So Hee.

All of her past dramas have been legendary, and she acts really well. She has always been pretty since she was a child, and she is great at her profession, so why is people saying she’s overrated? She isn’t being overrated because of Han So Hee, but because she is a cool actor separate apart from Han So Hee.

The post directly hits back at some netizens who claimed Kim Ji Won’s biggest claim to fame was Han So Hee’s fall from grace. This notion has been exasperated after one of Korea’s most lucrative endorsement deals replaced Han So Hee with Kim Ji Won.

Many netizens agreed with the author, crediting Kim Ji Won’s rise to her great acting skills, beauty, and reputation.

• “They are just trying to bring her down because she is pretty and acts well without any scandals. Haters need a controversy to hate her, but she doesn’t have any, so they are making things up. They are doing this because Kim Ji Won is perfect. Leave them be.”
• “Kim Ji Won isn’t overrated, she’s simply the best.”
• “They are saying she’s overrated when her filmography is outstanding, lol. These days, haters will say you’re overrating anyone that you compliment. It’s due to their own insecurities. She is someone who started from small roles.”
• “Aren’t people who say she’s overrated underrating her? This is so stupid. I might feel this way because I just saw a post about her being snubbed at the Baeksang Awards, but why are there so many people criticizing her?”
• “She’s seriously not overrated. She has always been a top actress.”
• “She is really good at choosing her project… These days, it’s hard for actors to make it without their projects going viral, and she’s always does.”
• “Kim Ji Won isn’t some rising actor, she has always been famous. I just think this is all BS.”
