Ok, just because Shiri was so huge (and I watched it too.. yes. Though I didn't realize it was her for awhile (I thought I saw her from somehwere)) doesn't mean the actress is that popular. I don't really know if lots of people would remember her, but I don't think so Like you said, people might know about the movie Titanic, but not necessarily Kate Winslet (or the fact she was in that movie, rather)

I mind. It doesn't annoy me or upset me or make me point out how diversity is always a good thing. I just mind.
Diversity is always a good thing. Really? Well, in that case we would have to at some point make our planet no longer exist, because if it kept on existing, we wouldn't experience a diversity in our planet's existence created by ourselves (of course this would have to happen before the sun takes care of that problem). And seeing as I don't know what it would be like to kill someone, I would have to kill that someone before he dies, because if not I would never get the chance and hence no diversity would be present there either.
Obviously this is in the extremes, but I count a statement like 'diversity is always a good thing' as just that since only in eternity there would be a slight chance that all universal criteria be met, and with a statement that takes all ways ('always' or 'all times' or 'at any criteria') into account, eternity would have to be present, because of the unlimited amount of universal criteria. Only infinite is greater than or equal to infinite. And, of course, there's the subjective/objective matter. Person A would define object 1 as good, and person B would define it as bad, which means your statement, if processed by any of this world and/or/xor dimension, where perception ultimatively means not all criteria can me met (which is the same as not all ways ('> always a good thing')), would not fit all criteria. These lines prove why diversity is not always a good thing. It does not prove that diversity is sometimes a good thing, never a good thing, never a bad thing, or always a bad thing. What it proves is:
Diversity is not (statement)
Where the statement-variable contains the expression 'always a good thing'.
I haven't been sleeping for quite some time, but as you can see my brain is still working hard, and after my nap my IQ should be restored to it's usual place: less than infinite (which is pretty good considering that infinite minus 1 still is infinite But wouldn't my IQ have to be even less? Only that would result in an infinite loop, perhaps even a recursive function. A constant literal numerical value would have to be given in order to avoid this loop of eternity.

"Diversity is always a good thing."
Yeah, right. Good job mouthing the lines they fed to you at public indoctrination school.
Yean, right. Good job mouthing the lines they fed to you at KKK indoctrination school.

Most older people know who she is actually. She was more of a movie star than an actress for dramas. Drama actresses tend to be more well-known, ironically. She was the main female character in Shiri/Swiri, which is (or was) one of the top five box-office hits in Korea back in the early 90s(?).
She was huge.
The weird thing is, LOST is hugely popular and highly acclaimed here. But not in Korea. My cousins in Korea told me that LOST isn't7ec watched that much. -

It's good to see so many Koreans respond to this message. I'm not Korean, if my points seem invalid to you please excuse me.
Obviously, Ms. Kim is no Jeon Ji Hyun or Kim Hee Sun - the typical "gorgeous girl" type Korean fans would die for. Kim's popularity is no match to these beauties for their constant appearances in TV commercials, TV series - the media that bring popularity to stars. Ms. Kim is kind of an odd case in Asian e5b4ntertainment, who doesn't rely on TV popularity to gain her stardom.
Fans over the world still applaud her legendary role in Swiri, some 8 years after the movie Kim's phenomenon hasn't died. This is the power of a star. Like how we remember Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, Tom Cruise in Top Gun..Kim's power is simply amazing. Yet, more non-Asians get to know and fall in love with this Swiri actress..whether it is simply physical attraction or not, Kim's popularity is going to rise as years go by.
