In the midst of 'Lovely Runner' gaining attention, fans express their dissatisfaction with Kim Hyeyoon's activities compared to her co-star, Byun Wooseok's. 

According to a popularity survey, 'Lovely Runner' has surpassed 'Queen of Tears' and took the top spot on the Drama and Cast Popularity Ranking of the 1st Week of May. The drama has been continuously breaking its own record for the highest popularity for three weeks since its first broadcast. 'Lovely Runer' proves their popularity as both lead roles, Byun Wooseok and Kim Hyeyoon, rank first and second in popularity among other darma casts. 

Byun Wooseok is holding a fan meeting tour in Asia starting from Taiwan in June. He plans to meet fans in different cities including Bangkok, Seoul, and Hongkong. Furthermore, he also has confirmed his appearance on 'Running Man' upcoming episode on the 12th and is also set to appear on 'You Quiz on the Block'. In addition, Byun Wooseok's company is actively engaging with fans by releasing behind-the-scenes videos and opening his very own community on Weverse. 

This comparison has sparked criticism and dissatisfaction among fans regarding the lack of promotions of Kim Hyeyoon's company. Last month, Kim Hyeyoon officially announced her contract with Artist Company, where the company promised, "We will provide full support in a professional environment." However, fans discovered that Kim Hyeyoon is yet to be listed on the artist list of Artist Company's official website and also yet to have fan communities, making fans wonder if the company is not properly managing her. Currently, there's only one Kim Hyeyoon-related post on Artist Company's official account, which is a photo taken during an event related to 'Lovely Runner' about three weeks ago. In the comment section, numerous fans are requesting, "Please do your job," "Please promote Kim Hyeyoon," "Please upload more photos," and more.

-Leave Byun Wooseok out of this

-They're not even from the same company

-Why are journalists even writing these kinds of articles, do they have nothing better to do?

-Isn't it because the two actors have different focuses from the start?... they can do what they want...

-You shouldn't compare them, they're good at different things

-Leave Byun Wooseok out of this. Why is there always something happening when he becomes popular? I don't understand why they're comparing that

-It's not that Byun Wooseok's company is doing a great job, it's just that Kim Hyeyoon's company suck at their job.

-It's only been a month since she signed contract with her current company...?

-I don't know about other things, but isn't it taking too long for her to be registered on the website as artists??

-They said that's the case for other actors who joined before Kim Hyeyoon, too. It seems like they just don't manage the website

-Please stop this alreadyㅠ

-I don't really understand protesting... Just enjoy the drama... Let each agency and each actor do their own thing..

-Why compare her with other actor when they're not even from the same company...

-Most companies are like Artist Company. It's just that Byun Wooseok's company is really good at their job.

Only Byun Wooseok is active... What is Kim Hyeyoon's company doing?

Hello, beloved employees. This is XXX, the head of the General Affairs Team.

The daughter of our CEO, Miss XXX, is currently appearing on the Mnet audition program 'I-LAND 2,' which is being broadcasted. We kindly ask all employees to participate in the audition voting to support her debut.

1. Date: From May 3rd (Friday) to May 12th (Sunday)
2. Eligibility: All employees
3. Please make sure to vote once a day starting from May 3rd (Friday).
4. For detailed instructions on how to vote, please refer to attachment 1.

The keyword 'I-LAND 2 Power Abuse Incident' is spreading on online communities and SNS on the 9th. It is reported that employees of a company run by the trainee's father are being mobilized to help the trainee gain votes. 

In another post, it was mentioned, "This is my first job. I keep getting messages from the CEO's family and acquaintances to help them promote their daughter." Furthermore, the post stated, "In the company lounge, they play the theme song of I-LAND 2 very loudly, which can be very disturbing." The OP also expressed their frustration saying, "There have been rumors that other companies also do this too, but our company gains the most attention because the employees are forced to vote. Even on holidays, we keep receiving emails with the same content." In addition, the OP also wrote, "I'm not interested in other people's family affairs. It's very stressful to keep receiving this email." 

theqoo

-If I were the employee, even if I wanted to vote voluntarily, I wouldn't wanna do it anymore if they kept asking me to vote. The company shouldn't pressure their employees to vote. Do employees really need to do this?

-I don't think the company was forcing their employees to vote... But I can totally see why the employees are irritated by it. 

-If only they had asked it in an adorable, promotional way like, 'Please vote~~', people would've found it cute. But this feels like an instruction. 

-They shouldn't force the employees to vote. 

-If you don't want to, then just don't.

-If you don't do it, it's not like you're getting punished; it's just a request. What's the problem with that?

-If not doing it leads to disadvantages, isn't that forcing? In this case, they're just asking the employees to vote, what's the problem?

-So annoying. Please, distinguish between work and personal matters.

-The problem is that the notice is being issued from the General Affairs Department as an urgent noticeㅋㅋㅋㅋ  It would be fine if they just said in a meeting, "The CEO's daughter is appearing, so we'd appreciate your vote."

-Please distinguish between work and personal matters. Why should the employees vote for his daughter? Is he paying them to vote or something?

'The CEO's daughter is participating in an audition program. Please vote for her"

-Her skin is really good.

-She looks like an adult...

Suzy at "Wonderland" Movie Preview


WJ: The one thing that comes to my mind is when we got fired.

CY: Hold on, let me tell you something.

WJ: What? I was the one who brought it up. Okay, let's see how interesting you can make it.

CY: We were originally supposed to be fired on the same day.

WJ: Ah... Really? I didn't know that. 

CY: Yeah, we were supposed to be fired on the same day. But I ended up getting fired earlier than him. I cried a lot, it was chaotic. The other trainees comforted me. He (Woojin) also comforted me a lot. 

WJ: At that time, there were 2 trainees who got kicked out. It was Daehwi and Chaeyeon. Chaeyeon was actually the best among the other trainees, and Daehwi was just a native there. When we heard they got fired, we were shocked like... 'How can this happen?' I was alone on the stairs, thinking how can this happen, when the schedule came out. I realized that my name wasn't on the rap lesson list. So I sent a message, 'Am I not having a rap lesson tomorrow?' and the trainer responded, 'Huh?! Woojin..! You..!! Are still in the company? First of all, let's meet tomorrow.' That day, I jokingly said, 'Hey, maybe I'm going with you guys too'. But the next day, it really happened. We became three comrades. 

CY: It must've been lonely for you.

WJ: It was lonely and it was also more painful. But it wasn't bad. I mean, I feel like an exclusive person. Everyone was sad for me. 

CY: They were? I wasn't there at that time.

WJ: It was chaotic. We were still in schools that time. Some of the trainees even took taxis from their school to the company to see me. Some even returned back to company after they left. 

CY: But in the end, this is youth, isn't it?


In the end, they recalled that moment and ended it by saying that it's 'youth' after allㅋㅋㅋㅋ It might've been a sad story, but it's a relief that they can now laugh and talk about it. 

Watching the video is even funnier, because they're just like bestiesㅋㅋ

After watching the full video, there's an intriguing behind-the-scenes story where Woojin recommended Chayeon to go solo after her activities with IZ*ONE ended. 

It's really interesting!

For those curious but not convinced, I recommend watching the full video since it's not only entertaining but also filled with laughter! 

theqoo

-Woojin's styling in that clip reminds me of Wanna One days.

-I heard that everyone was nervous when they received a call from the agency, wondering what it was about, and then suddenly getting kicked out without any noticeㅠㅠㅠ

-It's fortunate that they all found new companies and debuted.

-I thought they left on their own will...

-It seems like no matter how talented you are, it's all about timing and luck for trainees...

-Wasn't Donghyun in JYP too? His trainee period overlapped with the two as well, right?

-Why did they fire their best trainee??? I don't understand.

-But asking "Were you still at the company?" was too much

-Right, it's better to let them go quickly... It's worse to torture them with false hope when they're not going to debut anyway.

-They speak so cheerfully in the video, but they must have been shocked at such a young ageㅠㅠㅠ

-They must have been even younger then. It must have been very sad.

-But still, JYP at least introduces them to other companies or something?? Unlike other companies...

-Oh, that's cruel...

-Looks boring, though... This movie should've been released in 2022. There must be a reason for the delay.

-Seems sad... I still want to watch it though.

-Looking forward to it.

-They must have spent a lot of money on casting and CGI.

-The more it's revealed, the less excited I am...

-Oh, unexpectedly it looks interesting.

-It seems too sad... I bet it's interesting.

-Not really looking forward to it.

-Finally, it's being released.

-It looks good, though? I can't wait for June 5th.

-Wow, this looks so good! Can't wait!!!!!!!!

-Wow, honestly, this trailer looks interesting.

-I think it looks okay, I'll watch if the reviews are good.

-It's ambiguous...

-I was looking forward to it, but even the trailer is boring.

-The casting is amazing.

-I want to see it quicklyㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-Boring... Maybe that's why the release kept getting postponed.

ISTP: Why should we keep in touch everyday...?
INTP: Only contacts other when they have something to say
INFP, ISFP: Hard to reach once they're home
ESTP, ENTP, ENFP: Only respond well if the topic's interesting
INTJ: Only responds to work-related calls
INFJ: Responds to contacts quickly, but then they get drained and ends it quickly. 
ESFP: Prefers call when they're busy or hanging out
ENTJ: Only responds quickly to work-related calls, otherwise they're too busy for it
ISFJ, ESFJ, ENFJ: May not reply immediately, but answers kindly
ISTJ: Responds well, only say things that are necessary. But still, they reply if you contact them.
ESTJ: Handles calls from work and friends in LTE mode

theqoo

-I'm an INFP and that's true lol when I get home, I rarely contact anyone.

-ISTP might respond well initially, but as the conversation drags on and becomes irrelevant, the response slows down and eventually stops being read.

-ENFP should be much higher, right?ㅎ

-As an INTP, even if there's no business, I don't understand why they call. I almost never pick up incoming calls, so I have lots of missed callsㅋㅋㅋㅋ If it's urgent or business-related, they'd send a text but even then, I might not bother checking it).

-As an ISFP, I always replies quickly to friends because I'm not putting my phone down... But they might not even read or preview the messages from work colleagues or people they're not close to. 

-As an ESTJ, I mute my phone as soon as I get homeㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-As an ISTP, I only respond to work-related calls, if you want to chat, meet up.

-I'm an ISFP, that's right... When I get home, I hardly check my Ktalk...

-I'm an INFP, when I get home, I'm not very responsive...

-I'm an INFJ, I end conversations early because I get drained, but if someone contacts me first, I'll respond well.

-ENTJ here, my company doesn't contact me after work, so when I get home, I don't even look at my phoneㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don't check my Ktalk all weekend.

-I'm an ISTP, I don't like initiating contact but will respond when needed.

-As an ISTJ, I reply fast but never initiate contactㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm an ENFP and I'm only really responsive when it's interestingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I'm an ISFP... The description seems right.

The ranking of MBTI types who's hard to contact gains mixed reactions

Fans are leaving comments under posts that are not related to 'Lovely Runner', asking the company to let Kim Hyeyoon have her own Youtube show or guest in variety shows. 

Some are even leaving comments on congratulatory posts for other actors' Baeksang Awards. Some other fans are trying to stop them, but none are listening. Now, this led to complaints due to the nuisance it caused. 

This situation does not only create buzz on Instagram, but also on Twitter.

Why did you sign a contract with Kim Hyeyoon if you're going to neglect her like this? Only articles about Byun Wooseok are coming out. We don't even know where Kim Hyeyoon is. Are you going to let a lovely actress like her be buried like this?

Your actress, Kim Hyeyoon, is currently a hot topic across the nation. Why can't you send her to variety shows or let her have her own Youtube content to promote her works? I really can't stand this agency. 

Bossㅜㅜ Please let Kim Hyeyoon have some contentsㅜㅜㅜ

Please take Kim Hyeyoon and Byun Wooseok to 'Knowing Bros'

As the business-owner, please don't be narcissistic. Promote your artists. Kim Hyeyoon should receive appropriate treatment if there were no issues with this company. 

CEO-nim (blurred), congratulations. Please promote Kim Hyeyoon's dramas and projects too. Send her to variety shows. 'Lovely Runner' is currently trending. We just want to see Hyeyoon. 

Do you know what's strange? It seems like the company has no interest in Kim Hyeyoon's projects at all. They haven't posted anything about her. How can a company underestimate their artist like this?

Why are you turning blind and deaf to people asking for proper promotion of Kim Hyeyoon?? You don't even post her on your website homepageㅜㅋㅋㅋ Why did you sign the contract with her if you're only going to treat her like this? Byun Wooseok's company keep posting contents about him endlessly. But Artist Company hasn't even posted anything, not a single post, about her??? Does it make sense that you're not posting anything about Kim Hyeyoon despite her success, while posting contents about other artists even though they're on hiatus??

There are only 3 weeks left until the drama ends. Are you not going to post anything about Kim Hyeyoon until then?

Does it make sense that there's no content for Hyeyoon?


(I'll translate the rest of the screenshots later...😔🙏)

'Lovely Runner' becomes a sensation ... Kim Hyeyoon's company receives complaints for their silence

As 'Lovely Runner' continues to gain attention, fans are expressing their dissatisfaction with Kim Hyeyoon's company. Recently, fans have been expressing their dissatisfaction regarding Artist Company's neglecting Kim Hyeyoon. 

Kim Hyeyoon officially signed an exclusive contract with Artist Company last month. The company stated, 'We are glad to be able to work with Kim Hyeyoon', and promised to provide full support in a professional environment. However, despite Kim Hyeyoon's rising popularity through 'Lovely Runner', the support shows lack of support, causing disappointment. 

Currently, the recent posts related to Kim Hyeyoon on Artist Company's official accounts are photos taken during an even related to 'Lovely Runner' about three weeks ago. Fans have been comparing her activities to her co-star Byun Wooseok, who is currently holding a fanmeeting tour in Asia and guesting on 'You Quiz on the Block.' 


theqoo

-Maybe she doesn't want to guest on variety shows... Why so toxic?

-Come to think of it, Kim Hyeyoon hasn't been on any variety shows. Is her agency incompetent? Or is she just focusing on acting?

-Why are they acting like that under other actors' Instagram posts?

-Aren't they overreacting? I think they're reacting like that because Byun Wooseok has been really active promoting his drama in comparison to Kim Hyeyoon. They have different agencies, so why are they comparing them?

-It seems like there are overseas fans who are using translators, these fans usually don't listen...

-Judging by the comments, it's been a month since she changed agencies, so we should keep an eye on it... Weirdly, apart from foreign fans using translation tools, there are also quite a few posts written by Korean fans.

-If it's gotten this much attention, the agency will have to do something about it.

-The fans are crazy.

-I just checked, and it seemed like she just joined that company four weeks ago. Maybe it's because she's new to the company that they're not paying attention yet; they'll probably pay more attention in the future.

-If it hasn't been long since she changed agencies, wouldn't it be difficult for the new agency to promote her in that drama?

-I understand the fans' feelingsㅜㅜ But do they really need to comment like that on irrelevant posts?

-They're causing a ruckus;;; Why are they doing this?

-I don't know about other things, but couldn't they take new pictures (not from the drama) to share? Her styling has been pretty lately, so it's a bit disappointing.

'Lovely Runner' fans are currently protesting under the comment sections of Kim Hyeyoon's company's Instagram
