    1. [+3,187, -364] Why hate on her for this? Dong Guk's good at soccer but that doesn't mean he has any influence in the fashion industry... People are just being jealous. I hope she grows into a popular model.

    2. [+1,981, -87] I don't know that anyone in the design or fashion industry would hire her just because she's Lee Dong Guk's daughter. And if this is in Paris, how could anyone there know whether she's Lee Dong Guk's daughter or Ronaldo's daughter?

    3. [+1,747, -191] She may not have directly benefited from her dad but she has definitely had more opportunities to get her name in the media thanks to her parents compared to other kids her age. She's also gained a ton more opportunities through that as well. I don't think you can ignore the influence of her parents on her life. I just wonder if she truly has potential as a model or not.

    4. [+1,111, -57] I would say this is more networking than her dad getting her perks. We all build our own networks, celebrity kids or not.

    5. [+292, -8] Oh but she really doesn't match this

    6. [+248, -2] I don't think Lee Dong Guk necessarily called anyone up to land her this job but... I do think she wouldn't have gotten it on her own if she wasn't his daughter

    7. [+233, -3] You have to admit that she did get famous thanks to her father and a lot more spotlight through him

    8. [+155, -1] She doesn't seem model-like at all to me. It's fine if the designer is using her for her fame but she has no looks, charisma, individuality, or physical proportions to be a model.

    9. [+121, -5] She doesn't have that model fit look to her ㅡㅡ

    10. [+106, -0] Kind of like Hwang Shin Hye's daughter... if they weren't celebrity children, we'd just be like "they're alright"

    11. [+105, -2] Her parents may not have pressured anyone to hire her but I'm sure designers took notice of her being Lee Dong Guk and Lee Soo Jin's daughter and hired her for that reason

    12. [+72, -3] She doesn't seem like the model type or anything

    You can't really deny nepotism, it's a real thing! it's like denying that the sun is real!

    that's why even being born in a rich family is annoying, you can work 10 times harder than the others, people will never acknowledge the effort you did, or they aren't here to see how hard you work and they'll directly think that you got this position because of your family name


    at the end nepotism or not she did a great job and it wasn't even for a big brand

    i saw celebrities daughter becoming model doing a worst job than this , and when nepotism is a bad thing


    but if she did a good job and didn't messed up and prove that she deserved to be here, i don't see why we should question ourself if it's nepotism or not

    Lee Dong-gook is hardly a world renowned footballer to be getting backdoor entries into this field. Spent most of his career in SK and he wasn't good outside of it.


    His wife is a former runner up for Miss Korea so can imagine she has all the model contacts. Surprised the spotlight is on Lee Dong-gook.
