    It seems like those glorified fanfic writers producers have already written their projects about her and are just waiting for her to accept. Lmao imagine if Squid Game producer had a part picked out just for her in Squid Game 2? 👀


    There would be no stopping her after that lol.

    Have you met Wonyoung? She's hyper aware of her every action because she herself knows this better than anyone. That's why she has such a strong work ethic. There is a reason why she's constantly praises by fans and staff alike for being hard working.

    I think both her and Yujin will do acting sooner or later. Yujin might beat her to it, she obviously has a great potential as an actress.

    Not at the Minju erasure omg.

    Most famous idols get acting love calls, but very few actually succeed in build any decent and stable acting careers.


    We will see how WY fares.

    Is she good at acting?

    Oop. My bads. Wasn't trying to erase her, but she's just been inactive as an idol for such a long time now and my mind was focusing on the current 4th gen idol groups like Lesfim Aespa NJ etc. But Good luck to her hope her project does well.

    Minju is just a supporting cast as the guys dead wife lol. She's not part of the main cast, neither is it a huge drama with big name actors.


    It's sooner or later that Wonyoung and Yujin get into acting, like all popular idols before them. But she better work on her acting cos if not, she will be labelled as another bad idol actress like Apink Naeun or BP's Jisoo who get roles just with connections and their idol fame.

    Minju is a supporting role, a big acting role is one of the main leads, the leads in The Forbidden Marriage are Park Ju-hyun, Kim Young-dae and Kim Woo-seok

    Her visuals don't suit acting imo, she suits modeling more. Just in comparison to the other visual girls like Yujin or even Jisoo, these girls would suit/suit acting.

    Not at ppl acting like Squid Game PDs will just pick your faves to star in it.


    Yall don't care about their acting or the dramas, u just want bragging rights like "oh my fave starred in this huge global hit drama" etc.

    Well, isn't it a good thing then that knetz and actual industry producers disagree?


    But on a serious note, I really never understood this made up argument that someone had to have a specific kind of visual in order to qualify for acting roles when in Korea, the only look you need is to be a standard visual. And, if we're speaking honestly, very few can beat Wonyoung in that department. She fits Korean beauty standards to a T, maybe even exceeds them.


    Plus there are other idols who you could say the same about like Joy. Compared to Irene, I wouldn't say she had the kind of visuals suited to acting either, but look at her still? Another example is IU.


    And even then, looking at a bigger industry like Hollywood, they cast all sorts of people for roles. From the drop dead gorgeous to the unique looking. What matters is if the role suits them and their look. It's on a case by case basis. To me, speaking as if there must be this one look across the board lacks creativity.

    Actual industry producers are like CFs, they want a person with pre-existing popularity to get limelight for their projects.

    Whether that person can actually 'act', is something that is speculative at this point. That comes only by trial and experience. In some cases, may not happen.


    And it is not just about ability, working in a different medium from idol-work can also be challenging to the person and they may not gel with it.


    Still she should try and see where it goes.


    WY's selling point is her overwhelming beauty - that gets her fame, fortune etc., but that also means she will have biases against her when it comes to other things - people will assume that she is not approachable/friendly, does not have adequate singing/dancing or acting talents - just gets by because of her beauty etc.,


    Whether she will manage all those perceptions, that will decide her future success. Beauty is a very good entry point, but it is also one of the things people will get easily tired off and the next beautiful fresh face is always around the corner.


    It is a pity that Kpop idols have to figure all these when they are just in their teens, others have a long learning curve.

    Only Yujin her group member gets "actress visual" comments. Wonyoung's face on the other hand is more like Joy, suits more being an idol

    Joy got "exposed" for not looking like people expected her to do in dramas. They don't wear the usual tons of make up for lightning issues and do not have tons of filters. Not only knetz, but i netz agreed Joy looked different. Iu also got bashed for her visuals but got praise for her role in Mister. She still gets criticism for her acting.

    Hollywood is a different beast. Korean industry(tv series) accepts anyone as long as they have visuals - Cha Eun Woo. You would never see CW actors in a Scorsese movie. On the other hand, you won't see the creativity you speak of in Korean dramas lmao. They're filled with people who fit korean beauty standards but can't act. You don't see ugly people like in Hollywood.

    Wonyoung will fit easily. I don't have to see her act to know she has no range like Hollywood top actors do, so K dramas are perfect for her. I mean Korea's golden trio of actresses is the proof.

    there is no visual for acting lmao, kpop is the first time i ever heard "visuals don't or suit acting" i guess which is why the ones which supposed visual "suit" acting get into acting and can't act to save their life

    It doesn't matter if she can act or not. She will still get those opportunities, just like those visuals-idols before her: IU, Suzy, Yoona, Naeun, Seolhyun, Joy etc. People will say give them time to improve and all it takes is one good role/project, then the public opinion will switch. Look at Joy, she's been criticised literally in all her dramas but she still gets lead roles because of SM and her idol status. Look at IU, pre-2017 she's also often criticised, but after My Mister and Hotel del Luna, the public opinion completely flipped, and now she's doing films and getting praised for anything she does.

    :/

    Hn. Would ya look at that. Looks like you're opinion's irelevant.

    :pepe-tea:


    Lmao what do you want me to do about teenagers' who are obviously fans comments? Wonyoung got "she doesn't have the voice for acting" like Jisoo did, what now?


    Did I say she is not permitted to act or something? You must be new bc idols have been getting this kind of comment for years. When in reality it's just idols wear make up and use filters and look different when hd drama cameras film them. Joy was one of those where even i fans agreed. I just told you knetz usually have this kind of comments about idols talking about some kind of "aura" idols and actresses have, I'm not saying they can't act bc of it. It never stopped them.

    Ofc idols will get those roles bc of their popularity and beauty no matter how bad their acting till this day is.


    DUH, my anonymous comment will be irrelevant, no sht Sherlock. Wonyoung will act in the future.

    Wut? This is Minju's first ever acting role. Are you seriously expecting her to star next to IU and the dude from Squid Game in a Cannes Film Festival entry? Just the fact that it's a show on a network like MBC makes it leaps and bounds better than 90 percent of the dramas out there lol.


    And how is Jisoo a bad actress? I heard she did so well that she's already in the running to headline another drama. Pretty unheard of actually.
