"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.
You can take your monoculture loving butt and move to France. -

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. -

It's awesome that you guys are learning English all the way over there. : )
A lot of Lost stars weren't really famous before this. Most of them have been in few movies, but they're extremely talented. I think in time they'll all become famous and popular and everything.
As for YJ, I think she's pretty and she'll become more and more recognized once she's gotten a few more roles.
One geek to rule them all and in the darkness bind them!
