“The thing, is though, the variety shows need to ask for me, but nobody had asked for me at that time. We never rejected an offer (to appear on a show).
— Kim Hye Yoon”
This industry sure prefers men and validating, privileging and promoting them. I wonder if there is a word to describe this? 🗯️
It sucks that actors need variety shows for exposure. It’s definitely their loss tho, since Kim Hye-yoon is very charming! She should’ve also been given the second spot for the May Actor Brand Reputation Ranking, I’m happy for Byeon Woo-seok too but like you said Kim Hye-yoon carried the drama. At least she’s in the 6th position and I’m hoping her new agency will take this opportunity to find her more leading roles in dramas and films.
From your lips. I smarted on her behalf like you that she was in the sixth position. If there was any justice, she should have been in the first spot but it is a vicious cycle. Extreme sexism and misogyny is so ingrained in the economic, politics, cultural, social and legal mores that men have continued to be ascendant and women have to work much harder and be much better to even get into the ROOM. And, getting into any of these ROOMs is hard hence not being invited means her contributions ate downgraded instead of respected, valued and properly acknowledged.
And, I mirror your hope.

K-pop uses the word “oppapologist.”
