Fans are drawing comparisons between “Lovely Runner” stars and how their agencies are managing their rising fame as the drama becomes among the hottest currently airing dramas.
Actor Byeon Woo Seok, who gained popularity through the drama “Lovely Runner,” has joined Weverse and is planning to appear on variety shows and have an Asia fan meeting tour set soon. On the other hand, the female lead Kim Hye Yoon has been quiet, and her agency faced controversy for alleged neglecting her.
“Lovely Runner” has gained international attention as it is being released in 133 countries through OTT platforms. In response to this, Byeon Woo Seok will embark on his first Asia fan meeting tour, starting with Taipei, Taiwan in June, and meeting fans in various Asian countries such as Bangkok, Seoul, and Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, fans of Kim Hye Yoon are frustrated as they see her handling busy schedules. Kim Hye Yoon transferred to Artist Company on April 15th. However, despite the success of “Lovely Runner,” her agency has been criticized for not actively managing her.
Fans who expected diverse activities such as SNS management, communication with fans, and appearances on variety shows are disappointed. Moreover, as Kim Hye Yoon’s role in the drama is significant, the stark contrast with Byeon Woo Seok’s activities has led to increased criticism towards her agency.
In response to the complaints, her agency issued a statement saying, “We are currently discussing various schedules, including a final episode event and a fan sign event.”
Do you think Kim Hye Yoon’s agency is doing a good job managing her or not?
