Recently, Kim So Hyun's fans have been wondering where their idol artist who has not yet appeared in front of the small screen after moving to the Culture Depot agency, has sparked concern.
Maintaining popularity in the midst of intense competition for an actress or actor is nothing new in the entertainment industry. One of the things that has worried fans lately is because Kim So Hyun's appearance is increasingly rare in public.
Aside from acting talent, these achievers would have had a hard time gaining popularity without the help of their company. This is what invites fans' concerns. Currently, it seems that Kim So Hyun has become one of the artists who are considered to be receiving less attention from her new agency, Culture Depot.
If her agency didn't change their ways, Kim So Hyun would probably lose a lot of her fame. In January 2021, Kim So Hyun left her former agency E&T Story Entertainment to join Culture Depot which houses various famous artists including Jun Ji Hyun, Go So Young, Park Min Young and Jo Jung Suk. However, after Kim So Hyun's approximately one and a half years in the company, this proved to be the wrong decision.
Since Kim So Hyun joined E&T Story, the actress has only taken on one KBS "River Where The Moon Rises" project. While her appearance in this series earned Kim So Hyun a Best Actress nomination at the 2021 Baeksang Arts Award.
Although the series had quite a few problems with the male lead Ji Soo who was involved in a severe bullying scandal. Also, apart from this appearance, Kim So Hyun only appeared in the April 2021 Korean Singles photoshoot and hosted the 2021 KBS Drama Awards.
Since then, Kim So Hyun has completely disappeared from the screen in both K-drama, variety shows and movies. With this lack of promotion, fans are wondering if Culture Depot is wasting Kim So Hyun's talent. Especially when the actress is at the most important stage of her career.
In addition, the style of this one actress has also experienced a decline since joining Culture Depot. Based on fan ratings, Kim So Hyun appeared with bad make-up and clothes that didn't fit. The company seems to be trying too hard to make Kim So Hyun look mature even though the actress is still young.
In the past, Culture Depot would have been a good choice for Kim So Hyun. However, the news that Jun Ji Hyun left the company and brought along the CEO caused the downfall of the old agency.
Meanwhile, at only 23 years old, Kim So Hyun has strong prospects about her future acting career. However, the actress is at a critical stage of letting go of her child actress image and establishing a stable foothold in the acting industry. (wk/taki)
