Joynews Poll of Industry Insiders Names Byun Woo Seok as Top K-drama Actor of 2024 Followed by Jang Nara and Kim Soo Hyun
So the Joynews poll of over 200 industry insiders spanned many topics and the one on Top of Best K-drama actor/actress of 2024 is out. Topping the poll with a commanding 56 votes is Lovely Runner breakout Byun Woo Seok, cementing that he’s the real deal even among industry folks and not just viewers. Now I don’t think this vote is for best at acting per se but just the most impressive K-drama star this year. Second place goes to Jang Nara at 36 votes for her hit performance in Good Partner and close right behind in third place is Kim Soo Hyun delivering the biggest rating of the year with Queen of Tears. His QoT costar Kim Ji Won was in fourth spot with 26 votes, then a steep drop to 7 votes apiece for Song Kang Ho and Park Shin Hye tied for 5th.
The list makes absolute sense to me. And I agree with Koala too that this isn’t about the one who acted the best. Actor of the year is the one that made the biggest splash. From a break out perspective, BWS really took off from being unknown to reaching stardom. It’ll be the follow up that decides whether he can stay there, but he definitely got there. JN and KSH are both givens as they are well established and respected by the industry. And they had bonafide huge hits too.
I’m more surprised to not see KHY in the top 5. I thought she broke out too although in a much smaller capacity than her costar. But maybe looking back, her drama offers with Joy and Solomon aren’t exactly high tier. So these choices reflect that. Would love to see who comes out on top of Gallup this year. My bet’s definitely Kim Tae Ri based on timing, but it will be very interesting.
What do you mean it’s not high tier, jang nara and Honey lee etc had these type of offers and the drama’s are now bonafide hits. Trust hyeyoon with her new drama will do the same, one things she’s sure to do is deliver hits and make the male leads especially shine, like what’s happened here.
top 3 are expected but mmh airing too early in d year put pmy at a disadvantage in awards and polls like this since mmh is such a big hit on a weekday airing but keeps getting ignored. she could have been top 3 or 4 imo she had a bigger impact than psh even with 2 dramas. it’s recency bias which is too bad for the mmh team. they would be getting more reco if the drama was a summer one
how can she be in top 3 or 4 when Kim Ji Won is still very much trendint in theqoo, dcgal, intsiz and viral in twitter in youtube with Korean and international comments every single time?
Wtaf? KJW is viral every single time? Are you high? Did you pull that out of your thin air KJW is trending on TQ? The only topics tending on TQ is the latest topic unless you are talking about her individual TQ page. Give me a link where KJW has trended and gone viral recently in HOT topics. You will struggle to find 3 in the past 3 months.
Instiz? When was the last time KJW was in the top 10 of instiz 드영배. 4 months ago? DCGal? Yes, every actor “trends” there because that is a general forum of conversation and where all the psycho sasaeng dwells. JSM is currently “trending”. Viral on Twitter? Ummm, yes, so is KHY and far more so than KJW constantly. Even SYJ trended recently. Your point is…?
It’s like you think commenters here don’t know how to access any of these sites. Give me a break. KJW is a better actress than PMY no doubt, but the latter carried a drama single-handedly. Something KJW has yet to do in her entire career.
Hi Wtf, KJWhas been trending a lot in Korean forums yes until now, last 3 months? She doesnt come out often but whenever she does her bvlgari for 2 days are all trendint in TQ,Intsiz,Dcgal even her magazine covers in hot section with more than 50k views and thats monthly because she has monthly magazine covers anyway and 3 for October only so her vogue and W magazine were both TQ and IS.Tiktok? She got the higest likes with her fanmeet, highest dispatch likes for around 500k likes in the dispatch page highest this year even higher than BWS and had the biggest turn out for her fanmeet. Had most CF deals too.She made most mark for females this yr no matter how u all cry to insert your faves.Sorry not sorry.
Ah ah ah, you said and I quote “she is still very much trending… every single time”. That was an instant denial now that you’ve been asked to provide receipts for your delusions. Typical Twitter obsessed stans.
You don’t need to be sorry. I am not for *knowing* you dunno what you’re talking about and calling you out on it. But if it makes you feel better, you can imagine me “crying”. It’s called projection, babe.
@zozo
What in god’s green earth makes you think any of the things you mentioned are a relevant criteria for being the Top Kdrama actress of 2024? No one cares about literally any of this or even knows any of this other than Kim Jiwon fangirls/boys. Do you expect the industry or regular viewers to know or care?You must be imagining Kim Jiwon to be the Park Eunbin of 2024. But Park Eunbin didn’t just go viral in every wayshapeform, she also had the most impressive performance that year and not a soul disagreed. That so far off from Kim Jiwon’s case. She’s not even in the top 3 actresses with Lee Hanee, Kim Taeri and Jang Nara ahead of her.
@Dee
When are you, Kim Ji Won haters, will calm down already? Zozo clearly didn’t say anything about Jang Na Ra, who’s the top 2 in the list. Zozo said only about Park Min Young, and yet some people here so bitter for any praises to KJW. I wanted ignore this comment section, but your “You imagining Kim Ji Won as Park Eun Bin 2024, but Kim Ji Won’s so far off from Park Eun Bin’s performance in EAW”. No one compared her performance with Park Eun Bin’s performance! Only you here started such talk! Guess you just wanted to say something nasty. I didn’t see you or @WTF mentioning anything about top 1 Byun Woo Seok, guess only Kim Ji Won’s name can bring your attention, if she ever mentioned as a top actress. Her drama broke records, this is matter, and this is big achievement, whatever you like it or not. And Jiwon fangirls/fanboys can talk about it and consider her as a popular actress. Yes, she didn’t do it alone, the same as Park Min Young didn’t carried MMH alone, Song Ha-Yoon and Lee Yi Kyung worked too. And KJW was compared only with her, you probably forgot about that as soon as you saw KJW name.
I guess now I will see such people commenting here every time Kim Ji Won will got any compliment.
love love kim ji won ! Hong haein is the most famous female character this year. she’s everywhere in tik tok, X , Ig and FB during qot even now after six months qot ended I still come across viral tweet about her. well deserved 🫶
I don’t agree with BWS. I think he’s in the category of couples of actors who shined together BWS-KYH, KSH-KJW, JHI-JSM, instead of giving a solo performance.
For the buzz, he clearly won over everybody. I hope he doesn’t feel too much pressure for his next role.
For me, the actors who shined in their role and elevated it :
– Jo Jung-suk in Captivating the King
– Jung Ryeo-won in The Midnight Romance in Hagwon
– Tae-goo Um in My Sweet Mobster
– Jang Dong-yoon in Like Flowers in Sand
Flowers in sand was in 2023
I count it in 2024 because it started in 2023 but ended in 2024. So it was too soon to talk about it in 2023.
Agree on Um Taegoo.
He was previously unknown by drama fans but now he’s getting recognized 👍🏻
Accurate af poll. I may not love some of the dramas these actors starred in, but BWS, KSH and JN are absolutely the trio my mind would go to when I think back of 2024 kdrama actors. KTR just needs to be added in for actor of Q4.
Agreed here fully. My recollection of actors from previous years in no specific orders are PEB, LSM, SHK in 2022, NGM, Junho, HHJ in 2023. 2021 is more murkier but I particularly recall KSY, JJS and SHS. And when we think of 2024, BWS, KSH and KTR are the most likely to be remembered.
I go around theqoo, dcgal, intsiz, youtube, X everyday and Kim Ji Won gets viral every other day. There was even just a photo of her smiling to a fan with 36k likes with most Korean comments, with no caption. So who do u think at least in the social media made an impact if this is the case?
She got disadvantage because 1) she doesnt have a dickkk 2) she played opposite a megastar senior with a dickkk in a mysogynyst industry
Kim Ji Won didn’t got disadvantage 🤦 she got recognition she did fanmeetings, getting cfs, magazine covers and everything else considered as “getting recognition”.
This is just two people here acting as Kim Ji Won and Kim Hye Yoon did nothing for their dramas and didn’t work at the same level as their co-stars. But it doesn’t mean Kim Ji Won got disadvantage.
And you’re also a sexist if you think Kim Soo Hyun getting recognition just because he’s a man. But on one thing you’re right, he’s a megastar senior.
As a KJW fan, I’m happy to see her getting the limelight. She deserves it after doing some well received dramas that weren’t Hallyu ones. But to all her toxic brainless “fans” here, please shut up and stop this. Her costar is a great actor who is one of the most awarded actor in Korea. He doesn’t need his dick for that, he needs his talent. KHY is an amazing and upcoming actress and she deserves her spot in the limelight. She carried LR on her shoulders and helped her costar shine which is an amazing ability not many have. PMY got a mon-the drama to be one of this year’s highest rated drama despite a bad costar. She absolutely should be mentioned and lauded for how well she has done this year and doesn’t need CFs or to be talked about in Qoo or wherever to prove how great her year has been. Jang Nara is winning the Daesang and that is enough proof of her greatness. Lastly, Lee Honey already did win a Daesang and will likely win a second.
Stop. Belittling. Other. Actors. They all had a great year and accepting that does not decrease KJW’s achievements. I’m not going to be like other KJW fans here who try to [protect] their co-fans. This blog is so full of psycho KJW stans but her fandom is actually very peaceful and we sane ones just want to root for her to keep doing amazing.
@KJW fan
By saying “protect their co-fans” you probably talked about me.
I didn’t protect zorro talk about KSH, I protected her talk only about KJW popularity. This didn’t downgrade someone’s acting skills, awards or personality. Zorro just said KJW is getting a big buzz, and I really can’t see what’s the problem for them to tell that. No one questioning BWS buzz, but of course it doesn’t mean others actors are worse than him.
And this isn’t problematic talk. Even if others disagree, this isn’t thing for people here to be offended about and to call her fandom problematic and others names.
It’s so amazing to see 2 QOT mainlead on the top survey this year. I’m happy for jiwon bcs I remember in MLN it’s only SSK who topped the survey back then.
It’s just shows how ridiculous this, cause her acting in mln was way better, scratch that all her roles have been better than QOT.
Grabbing from Kforums such as Dcgal, Jang Nara and Kim Soo Hyun are senior house hold names but cmon hype wise its BWS for men and Kim Ji Won for wonen. We will know when Gallup list comes in next week but mid year Gallup was 1) Kim Soo Hyun 2) Nam Goong Min AND Kim Ji Won tie.
With Kim Soo Hyun megastar status its expected for him to be more of a household name but people here in Koala should be non bias as well to admit than Kim Ji Won held her own and unusually equally got the same hype in QOT with KSH if we remove the status. She doesnt come out much after the show and her agency doesnt do media hype like others but the fact that her follower count during QOT increased exactly the same amount as KSH with just posting THREE photos entire run, her small fanmeet venues had 50000 people waiting, her airport photo in dispatch had the highest likes amongst all the photos higher then bws and ksh, her photo enagagemwnt likes reached 5M too, airport crowd secone to BWS despite not having a dickkk but still you dont think she is on top 3 buzzworthy this year? Bullshit comments here in Koala lol. She’s at par with Soohyun S per hype wise, even have more hype than him at times as Hong Haein but understand his status in the industry but comments here I notice she usually have backhanded compliments or sarcastic praises or get left behind. Are you jealous of women succeeding? lol Kim Soo Hyun lucky because of his dick and household name status gets more votes but casual fans stick for Hong Hae in face to finish the show fact lol
I’m agree with most of the things you said, except last sentence. I noticed some KSH and KJW fans constantly doing such lame fanwars, comparing them. Please, don’t do that.
They both worked hard during filming, and they made such drama as big as it is together, with all other cast as well. Yes, some people here nasty about KJW and trying hard to act as only KSH’s name matter in that drama. Downgrading KJW hard work this way is lame, but don’t downgrade KSH hard work because of this.
Didn’t Kim Ji Won raked the most and biggest CFs this year for female category? Next to the two men BWS and KSH? She bagged BIG deals such as insurance, Soju, Bvlgari ALL products, TheWhoo, Stonehedge and have monthly magazine covers (except for April and May) for all huge magazines? Since this is about who had made a mark this year, doesnt that put her on top in Female category buzz wise? With her sold out FMs as well and airport crowds and social media engagements and mentuons in both Korean and international portals? Don’t you agree?
Nope. KJW fans need to come back to earth.
Jang Nara is a strong candidate for Daesang this year against some very big names. She carried her drama to 17% in ratings by herself. A drama that had no prior expectations, no star writer, no promotion money, and no popular male lead. KJW on the other hand, is far from being a Daesang nominee, she did not even make the Baeksang actress nominee cut off list. One doesn’t need to be a buzzy actress who got “CF deals” or have “airport crowds” because lmfao what a stupid criteria to decide the actress of the year. If that was the case, Suzy and IU would have been actresses of the year almost every year instead of PEB, KHA or KSY. Unless her impact was as big as BWS who really tore through Korea, or PEB 2 years ago who captured the country’s hearts, KJW is not the actress of the year. That is Jang Nara and by the end of it, Kim Tae Ri – another actress leading a drama by herself, likely a Daesang nominee and Baeksang nominee.
These KJW fans remind me of JYB, SYJ and seonho fans from before even yejin had these fans (but atieast she has movie career too) . It’s a shame really prior to QOT, her fandom seemed harmless.
They didn’t say about Daesang/Baeksang, they said about “buzz”. Didn’t you notice @Kisses wrote “next to two men BWS and…” – by mentioning BWS you think they wrote about Daesang/Baeksang things??
Some people here trying hard to call KJW fandom a blind, yet you can’t even read context of the comment.
@Cba, been a KJW fan since FMW and yes her fandom is indeed harmless. It’s the new fans that is the big problem and it sucks. They instigate fan wars on Twitter against her own costars which is causing so many issues. They are baiting LR fans and belittling KGE and GMS. It’s not her real fandom. These are toxic ones and I can only hope they move on soon and leave her true fandom in peace.
Hyeyoon fans too, they seem be a toxic bunch. It’s always these popular dramas that breeds this bunch. I’ve noticed alot of KJW fans from QOT are blinks, which makes this all less surprising.
I am not looking for an argument but you asked so, sorry but I don’t agree. Taeri and Nara are ahead in the actress category. Jiwon is a solid third.
For the first time, I full agree with the a list haha. It’s missing Taeri in the but her drama is still not done so fair. JN (drama) is so crazy she might replace JN (actress) LOL. The year’s ratings have been overall much better for kdramas !
We haven’t seen a true breakout star since Kim Seon Ho. It’s really great to see someone really doing well and particularly interested in what BWS chooses as his next drama. I’m a little surprised he hasn’t picked something yet but maybe he is waiting for a specific type of role.
I’m also glad to see PSH back in full force! I’m a not a huge fan of her acting but it’s nice to see her taking on challenges. She’s even competing for a Daesang his time which is huge. Good on her!
@wtf yes park min young is the first billing. she single handedly carried her drama but kjw deserved her spot. she’s indeed more popular this year domestic and international. khy has more viral tweet ? lol. All I see are BWS and KJW. khy obviously has lesser viral tweet, compare to those two. Jiwon has 5-7 viral tweets with 20-60k likes during her dior event, basically everytime she attended event and she RARELY attend one. regarding theqoo, no we dont have to struggle because she did trend during bvlgari event in Sept. she even trended on August because of her keychain. I dont see why u need to belittle her popularity ? . her ig likes are insane too. I dont see any actresses with drama this year gained as much likes and followers as her
It’s pretty obvious
@hani
@zaza
@zozo
are all the same person writing with different accounts. IP checks aside, maybe don’t write the exact same way, make the exact same arguments, and harp the exact same chords?
@millie who is zozo ? maybe dont simply accused just because they have the same points ? lol.
I can see u everywhere talking shit about kim ji won by the way. not suprised u suddenly accused me and zozo or whoever that defend/praising jw as the same person lol.
@Hani aka zozo aka zaza aka dick name/comments
Are you asking who you are? Hilarious. Maybe it’s time Koala checks IP addresses.
Learn a bit of grammar. Then maybe figure out where appropriate commas go. Capitalize names. Oh, you shouldn’t leave a space before a question mark or exclamation mark. That’s a dead giveaway. Duolingo btw has a good start up language course.. It’s free, so run along and get the basics down before writing variations of the same names to reiterate the same nonsensical point. You’re making a fool out of your fandom just as much as the idiot Doe is. You’re both in the same league of unhinged 😂
what list is this ? kim hye yoon should be number one instead of BWS. she’s carrying lovely runner on her back for her acting alone. list with no credibility
Actor of the year refers to splash and impact.
This isn’t based solely on acting. If it was, BWS wouldn’t be close to top 5, but neither would KHY.
Lovely Runner and Queen of Tears both got 60 votes for best drama. But while BWS swept almost all the votes at 56 out of 60, KSH and KJW divided up the 60 almost evenly between them. In terms of splash and virality and topicality and the number of CFs, BWS has no rival this year. Strange that KSH hasn’t got a magazine cover in years, not this year not any year in recent memory. He is a great actor but how come he is not appreciated by high-end magazines or luxury brands?
Nothing strange. KSH doesn’t feel comfortable doing magazine shoots and said so in his last one for Vogue 3 years ago. He has also chosen not to ever endorse luxury brands unless it’s for charity and said so 10 years ago. It’s why even in the absolute peak of his popularity when he had 40+ CFs, none of them had ever been a luxury brand. It’s not them not appreciating him, it’s him not wanting to do them which is particularly fascinating now that he chose a luxury counterfeit drama.
That’s an accurate observation. But I would imagine that’s designed by choice for KSH? His market value is astronomical so if he’s not doing high end anything, I’m inclined to believe he just doesn’t want to. I can’t remember him ever being attached to any luxury brand. I vividly remember just Beanpole that he did with Suzy for years. But happy to be corrected by a KSH fan here.
@Millie Am not a KSH mega fan or anything so please dont quote me. I read an article where I think he said he only accepts cfs for products his fans can reasonably afford. So that would eliminate all high end goods which looking back is so impressive since didnt they have to change advertising rules during his YFAS high because brands of the same industry wanted him to as their ambassador which is generally a no-no but those brands fought for it?
Off topic side observation: I was in HS when YFAS came out and am working for 6 years now yet we are still talking about KSH cfs. . . like his longevity is truly bonkers seriously.
He has no luxury cfs because it’s his choice, he does not need to accept it because he doesn’t want to. That is also the reason why he doesn’t have any magazines. He is no longer like BWS who is a rising star, he is considered a top tier veteran so no need for all of that and yet he is still much beloved and viral nonetheless. That’s very commendable of him actually. I can’t imagine how many high end products have wished for him to endorse them through the years.
Was expecting a diff kind of fanwar aft seeing the long comments 🤣
Usually a silent reader here & will go bck to being tht. Can’t help it this time though.
How typical of int fans to discredit a veteran actress that delivered the 2nd biggest ratings success of the yr from a debutante writer & without an S tier male lead. Only because she doesn’t have commercials, magazine shoots or fan meets.
If the movie ind was included they will claim KGE doesn’t have the fan meet or magazine shoot or commercials like KJW so she is also not the actress of the year 🤦♀️🤡
Industry experts have their verdict and good on them for using important info over random tropicality. Very much excited to see Jang Nara’s acceptance speech at the year end awards. 😍
Jang Nara absolutely deserves her spot. If this was acting wise then Jang Nara would be top, then Byon Yo Han.
BWS as actor of the year wow, how the standards have fallen. And kim hyeyoon who actually carried the drama not in the top 5 what a joke. It’s the same experts that dubbed Queen of tears as drama of the year what do you expect.
I wouldn’t worry about Kim Hye Yoon….she already did Sky Castle, EOY, Girl on a Bulldozer, and now Lovely Runner. She is now considered an actress who always delivers. And unlike Sidus, ACOM has better management. She is more on a Shin Hae Sun track, BWS is more on a Lee Min Ho track.
@millie Millie, and her beef with kim ji won and her fans need to be studied atp lol
Kim jiwon fans and their victim complex needs to be studied, it used to be kim yoojung and suzy fans and now it’s yall haha.
u and millie are the same person ?
Kim jiwon in 4th place is a joke! And her fans flexing about her being a fashion model instead of an actress is even more hilarious.
Kim goeun wasn’t on that list in 2022 after little women, so yh this list is a joke and BWS in first place 😂😂 over veterans haha. But kim jiwon fans will be humbled soon enough, their unnie is not aging well and so many better looking and talented actresses around.
Gosh, before you was just a Kim Ji Won hater, now you started even discussing people’s look? “Unnie is not aging well” – whatever she’s aging well or not, this isn’t a thing to shame people about. I thought you wouldn’t write anything new, but you’ve just broken the bottom.
Doe is a KSH fan/Hyunji shipper reminiscent of rjpv that was a JCW/Nam Jihyun, though the latter was just shady mainly certainly not as spiteful and hateful as Doe.
However KJW is aging, it’s miles more beautiful than how your comment will age. Let’s chat in a year when she’s at the top and you’re still seething with hate.
Industry again ignores Hyeyoon again, but can’t get enough glazing her mediocre costar,typical. I’m just glad, this annoying era is over and she’s busy filming. I’ll never get the KSH hype especially his acting but atleast hes a veteran. Other women they snubbed PMY and Honey lee who both delivered double digit hits.
Why if topic any way related to KJW, comments always about her, of course in negative way? 🙄
She was praised here for popularity. None of you didn’t say anything about Byeon Woo Seok and his number 1 spot. None of you compared him with Kim Soo Hyun, and yet you can’t help but comparing Kim Ji Won with EVERYONE?? Jang Na Ra, Honey Lee, Kim Tae Ri, Park Eun Bun, Daesang/Baeksang, women centric drama (the way women downgrading other woman for not female centric drama need to be studied).
As soon as you saw Kim Ji Won getting any praise, you forgot the topic of this article? Tried as soon as you can to say she doesn’t deserve to be praised for popularity? This isn’t Jiwon’s fans so problematic here, this is you, just because you can’t stand Kim Ji Won to get any praise and being called a popular actress.
I repeat, none of you, who commented here this way about KJW, said anything about BWS and his 1 top spot in the list. People here commented about him as well, why didn’t you run as fast as you can to say he’s nothing in comparison with some veteran actor? Guess, because for some people this is matter only when it’s Kim Ji Won.
BWS got hate here a couple of months ago when an article pointed out his popularity, it’s not specific to her even chun won hee article with SJK got many even koala herself going on about her looks/acting.
Errrrrrrrr
I’m sorry but whuuuut??? I’m a KJW fan and I can answer your question very easily and you can too if you don’t blind yourself. Toxic new KJW fans have literally bombarded this comments section with their laundry list of her popularity stats. They have responded to others making casual comments on excluded actresses like PMY and KHY. Some even went as far as intentionally highlighting her achievements as better than the actress who ranked first. Then asked others for opinions. Where do you see BWS or KSH fans doing that? They aren’t even at each other’s throats let alone attacking other actors.
You’re correct that this is not a KJW fan problem, this is a problem of the new toxic Jiwon fans who think attack attack attack is a way of showing their love. It’s disgusting and I’m so tired of it. We used to be such a peaceful fandom before these psychos decided to join in. I’m happy she has wider fame and now the world knows how talented and amazing and versatile she is. But it doesn’t mean I have to be happy about the psychos who are giving her true fans a bad name.
I’m writing this because I hope others here can know that the insane fans and their defenders isn’t a reflection of her real fandom. We don’t like making enemies with every other fandom when there is a big chance these actresses will work together in the future now that there are so many women centric, women led dramas everywhere.
Haha you’re such an ass licker, even PMY and Hyeyoon fans were shading yall throughout QOT, atleast the toxic ones you speak of are defending your unnie 😂😂.What a mess even her own fans at each other’s neck.
Stop calling me psycho defenders.
I think I need to repeat it the third time, I talking only about BUZZ!
Did you really not notice, who compared KJW with every single actress, talking about awards, female centric dramas, etc, when zorro wrote only about buzz?
Now I need you to read the rest of my comment carefully. I’ll mention first, I’m not writing this to brag or downgrade others.
Think logically, what’s so problematic to think the actress who’s drama broke records on cable channel and was one of the most popular show on Netflix this year, got popularity both local and international, what’s problematic to think that actress created buzz more than others? It isn’t talk about awards, who carried the show alone or with their co-star, who filmed in serious female centric drama or in makjang romcom drama. This is about which drama created the most buzz this year. Just logically, what’s so bad for person to think KJW created the most buzz and talks this year? Again, I wrote it not to brag or downgrade others. Just can you answer, what’s so problematic for someone to think that way?
BWS created the most buzz this year. This is kind of buzz article about. People commented here about BWS being at the first place, how they’re not surprised about it, or how “BWS is a an actor of 2024 year for me”. And no one run to their throat to talk about others veteran actors, for example Ji Soon, how they carried male centric dramas, got big awards while BWS isn’t, etc.
Although zorro comments about KSH are problematic, about KJW they literally just talked as about IT girl, not about anything else. What’s so problematic to think or to comment KJW is the most IT girl of this year? The same as BWS can be the most IT boy.
Again, I’m not saying this is my opinion, I defending Zorro’s opinion about it as it has reasons to be and right to exist. This isn’t psycho way to think, as she saying about BUZZ, not about female/not female centric drama, awards etc, as turning talk on that side.
What about KJW new psycho fans, as an old fan I’m agree with you. Many deranged people joined to her fandom after QOT, they writing really disgusting things about KSH, doing lame comparisons with LND and LR. Or the way they talking about misogynists, yet being sexists themselves.
Even shippers are the crazy ones. I’m tired to see them as well, and sometimes argue with them (this isn’t working). But talks about buzz definitely not so problematic thing, as all of these things.
WOW. I’ve never quite seen a fan openly call out the deranged side of their own fandom for bullshit (and every fandom in existence has this side). So much respect for this comment.
Olesya1 No, I need you to read my comment carefully. I will keep it short because if it doesn’t get through you the first time, it won’t the 100th time.
What is so problematic about talking about BUZZ? The problem is that deranged psychos and defenders are creating competition when there is NONE. It is pushing the narrative that BUZZ demands KJW be the actress of the year when she was not voted as that. The problem is writing it again and again with in different ways a laundry list of whys to prove why she SHOULD have been the actress of the year. And don’t you deny that is the aim here because every is aware of how popular she is. Someone wrote PMY would have been in the top 3-4 if only her drama aired later. Deranged psychos jumped on her saying no, KJW is trending in xyz. This person never even said who they’d take out of the top 3 to place PMY in it. Then there’s zorro who you are fiercely defending. Someone just talked about who they remember for the past years as the most memorable and this person lists off where KJW is trending. Are you going to pretend that it’s not for the reason of trying to insert her over the other actors that were mentioned? Then in the next literal paragraph this person goes on to say literally KJW is at a disadvantage because she worked with a senior star who has a dick. And you feel that is not a fucked up, deranged comment and as long as I ignore that, it was just harmless KJW BUZZ conversations? Yeah, no. I don’t like lying to myself to defend toxic psychos.
You don’t see KSH, BWS or PSH’s fans going around stating their laundry list of achievements and bragging about it like they have a trumpet and can’t stop themselves from horning it like a plague. And they’re most definitely not insulting their actor’s costars in the same breath as talking about their actor’s buzz.
You’re an old KJW fan? Oh yeah? Haven’t gotten that vibe at all in any of your comments so far so color me absolutely gobsmacked.
And forgot to mention, where all this talks started. Just reread. Some person said “Park Min Young should be at the 3 or 4 place”. Zorro answered “How she can be on Kim Ji Won place, when Kim Ji Won created a lot of buzz”. And, after that you saw a long essays about arrogant toxic blind Jiwon’s fans, comparisons with all other actresses, talks about awards, female centric dramas, how KJW nowhere to other actresses, etc. Didn’t notice who started it? And yet you said I’m a psycho defender, do you think other side any better?
@Kjwfan *CLAPS* Good on you for speaking out against your own fandom’s aggro. It takes so much balls to do that. Was getting ready to type my own response and it wasnt going to be worded in favour of KJW. This is not the first time her fans have uplifted unnie in the expense of others. Wont do it anymore because it seems like her fans are just as appalled.
@KJWfan
Lol, now I need TO PROVE to you I’m old Kim Ji Won fan?? Sorry, but what’s the arrogant vibe it is? I can say the same, just because you said you’re old KJW fan it doesn’t mean you are. At least respect people comments when you’re talking with them. I didn’t comment anything nasty for you to try to call me out, to say I’m lying, and to downgrade in such way. I’m her fan since 2017 and Fight for my way times, whatever you believe in it or not. Not for you to decide if others fans are real fans or not.
I’m already said, I’m not defending Zorro last comments about KSH, but the way you ignores everything said about KJW here just amuzes me.
You can’t reread that comment section? I even quoted it to you, how this started, and how early it began. Zorro started to lists KJW’s top things AFTER person asked her “Are you high? Kim Ji Won not trending at all, it’s only twitter obsessed fans who think that way. Show me a link, it will be hard to find a 3 links for last 3 months”. And after this Zorro wrote detaily about trending things.
Guess you didn’t notice this as well?
I never thought I would agree with Kim Ji Won’s hater Doe in anything, but you’re really the one who’s blind, if you think she wasn’t shaded here.
Olesya1 When did I ask you to PROVE you are an old KJW fan?? Lol you’re really out for lunch now. Please learn to sit down, read calmly and stop acting like 5 year old child who doesn’t know right from wrong. I said I was gobsmacked (FYI, it means shocked) that you’d be an old KJW fan because her fandom has always been humble, peaceful and appreciates everyone she’s worked with in the past. Even when at times she’s the better actress to them. And you are not acting like that whatsoever. However, you do not need to PROVE you are an old fan nor do you need to believe I am. I couldn’t give as rats ass either way because why would I?? There will always be some bad apples. It’s never obvious unless there’s too many. Like now.
As I started off my first response to you, if you don’t get it the first time, you won’t get it the 100th. So I’ll leave you to continue defending the deranged toxic fan group you’re a part of. But that won’t be the real KJW fans – whether you accept it or not. And I for one do not fear calling out losers like you who doesnt mind fuelling hate just so it can result in some bragging rights about short term BUZZ. KJW will be in the industry for decades. I don’t need to sing songs on her achievements for 1 year when this is only the beginning. And I definitely wont be contributing in ruining an image we’d had for a decade of being a mature level headed fandom. You agreeing with Doe is all the proof I need on just how sane you are. I hope it’s enough for others as well.
I’ll see myself out. I’ve said what I needed to, and seem to have gotten through those who weren’t only looking for excuses to hate on Jiwon. For those who are still here doing exactly that, nothing will stop them and my comment was never intended for them anyway.
@Somebode
I get what you mean
@KJW
Wow, how aggressive you are. After that long essay with the one only meaning to attack me you still telling something about being humble and peaceful?? Look at the mirror. You calling me a bad apple, a loser, while I didn’t insult you in any way.
Pretty aggressive for someone calling herself a truthful peaceful fan, and calling me a part of a toxic fan group.
“I do not fear to calling out losers like you who fueling hate” – you insulting me and saying something about fueling hate at the same time. Ironic. And what kind of thing you could fear of, to write anonymous comment on kdrama forum? You are so brave, lol.
“I hope it’s enough for others as well” – you pretty obsessed with others opinion. And yet if you would spent more than one day on this site you would know I’m calling out Doe every time she says something about Jiwon. But still, it doesn’t mean she can’t say something right in her life – every word you claiming about being KJW fan you ruined with that one comment, because, of course, was too obsessed with other’s opinion about KJW fans and wanted to kick bad apples from the perfect basket. So started to attack me and calling a names. We’re not one organism, not a sect for you to think all her fans are perfect human beings, and what everyone who will ruin your imagination are considered as “not real”.
I didn’t insult you but you did, showed your true colors of a humble peaceful fan. Enjoy yourself, hypocrite.
Olesya1, don’t go there, don’t become one of those fans everybody hates. TBH, some KJW fans lately are getting too cocky, just like fans of that actress before she fell to disgrace.
@olesya1 The most typical loser action is whn sm1 starts giving out life lectures in the middle of a kpop fansite. Theres no bigger hypocrite here than literally urself. Ur throwing tantrums bcz u can’t accept that ur own fandom member have singled u for adding fuel to the hate that u literally farm for ur unnie?? Clearly u wanna fight instead of actually caring about KJW’s rep. Should others congratulate u?? Lmao u think that’s honorable or smth? U even see ppl agreeing with that person. Otoh legit every1 u tried to defend dipped and gave no shits. U even gt despo enough to agree with @Doe who is literally. never. right. This is the most loser of all loser things I’ve ever seen, by god. Hope she saw ur sorry ass standing up for her after alllllllll the months you’ve been fighting her. I was here to see all that so this is so low for u to hv fallen. She would prob piss herself laughing reading ur comments bcz I know I would. L O L
😉
I will be lecturing you as long as you keep insulting me and being rude to me, and as long as you think this is a normal way to do a conversation with a stranger.
All with shorts words just showing how much you spent time on twitter to talk the same way.
Do you think I need to swallow it?
This is not about KJW already, this is about you and person I talked above, started personally attack me and insult me, and still think such rude tone a normal thing. While I didn’t insult neither you, neither her.
Just go outside and learn how people interacting with each other. But I guess you think internet and anonymity excuses everything.
@Somebody
I get what you mean, but I don’t mind being hate by someone who thinks it’s a normal to insult others, and such actions less problematic for you than comparisons of two actresses buzz.
I’m glad to see that comments about BWS here are more rational and know that this list is not even about acting skills, whereas Twitter is just full of toxicity and hatred. Hyeyoon’s fans are a vicious bunch even resorted to comparing him to Kardashian. Instead of targeting BWS, their beef should be with the industry itself. Anyway, atleast Hyeyoon has a new partner now, so maybe so hopefully they can shift their attention there.
Costars fans going for each other’s throats seem to be a 2024 theme. BWS fans have been really respectful of KHY from my experience so it could just be a small subsection of fans being the loudest.
There’s problematic accounts everywhere, people look at 5 accounts out of 1000s saying something impolite and then cry foul.
It’s not just 2024 theme but recent years, most of 2022 it was Lee seyoung and Junho fans . 2020 it was Minho and Goeun, mind you it still goes on. It’s so bizarre but such a recent thing with popular dramas.
@gem, that’s an understatement, tell your toxic fandom to stop crying. Even having a meltdown with this list,so much jealousy and bitterness. How sad 😂😂
@Doe there are 1000s of Subeom accounts, Hye Yoon accounts never saying anything about Woo Seok, hey if your algorithm is taking you to the problematic people then I wonder what you tweet yourself. You see exactly what you want in X. That’s a you problem, not a fandom issue.
I’m going to have to strongly respectfully disagree with anyone who said PMY hard carried Marry My Husband. I agree the male lead was a weak link, but the villains were amazing. SHY might be a bully or terrible person in real life, but she delivered in her role as the two faced manipulative best friend. LYK shed his typical goofy aura and embodied the trash that is her ex husband. I was most impressed by those two.
This tread! LOL. Having a quick browse, I got an inkling why so many comments again. I don’t even bother to read them anymore. It’s just a huge waste of time fighting about which celebs have or deserve more glory. LOL. Foliage in the area is so magnificent!!! 😁. Hiking is more fun than fighting for someone who doesn’t even know you’re fighting for him/her. LOL
This thread! typo*
This list is about buzzy actors/actresses this year, yes. And the pressure is on to deliver yet another buzzy project or prove that you have talent as well as buzz. Otherwise, the buzz will fizz out as it usually does when it’s the only one you are banking on.
Wow I’ve never gone back to a post but this comment section is still single handed being kept active LOL. Someone is still hammering at it and giving out “lectures” and life lessons on “how to speak with strangers”. Meanwhile anyone who caused these “lectures” or for whom they were intended for is long gone or gave no shits before moving on 😂
This has been entertaining af. We had a KJW fan calling out her own. Another KJW stan backing up Doe after being cornered and shown a mirror. “Dick” being brought up as the most pathetic and futile argument and others agreeing with it. Meanwhile all other actress fans have decided this is not worth their time. Too bad. I have popcorn on the go for stuff like this 🤣
