Netizens upset over Kim Ji Soo’s Instagram post about 'Hwarang'

KBS’ new drama in town, “Hwarang”, is making a lot of noise lately because of the flower boys showcased in the drama. However, it seems that the noise isn’t all about the boys.

On December 20, Kim Ji Soo, the actress who plays the role of the queen in the drama, posted a screenshot of her past project on Instagram. At first, it might be normal for any actress to upload such post but, Kim Ji Soo received a lot of negative comments because of the caption enveloped with the post. The controversial post is embedded below.

 늘..좋은 작품을 한다는건,그리고 만난다는건 쉬운것 같지만 참 어려운 일이다. 좋은것같아 시작했는데 배가 산으로 가는 경우도 허다하고 변수가 너무 많기도 하다. 할수만 있다면 매번 하얗게 불태우고 싶은게 나같이 연기라는 일을 하는 사람들의 마음이나, 그림처럼 오로지 혼자서만 하는 일이 아니니 그또한 쉽지않다. 그렇다고 열가지의 조건을 다 만족시키는 것들을 기다리고만 있을수도없다. 하지만...많은것들에 의지와 열정이 나뭇가지 부러지듯 꺾이기도 하지만.. 가슴한켠에 불을 꺼트리지않기 위해 애써야한다. . . 여자,정혜때 스틸컷을 오랜만에 보다가 넋두리. 지금보니 나와 정민오빠 둘다 참 애기같았구만. 저때ㅎ~ 울지못했던 정혜처럼.. 아니 울지못한게 아니라 울지않았지만, 오늘은 쌓아놓은거,쌓여있는거 펑펑 울어 풀기라도 해야겠군. #여자정혜 #넋두리

A Romanized and translated version of the caption reads as, "it is really difficult to always being able to do good projects...Often, I start something because it seems great but then it goes off-course...there are many unexpected factors."

Although Kim Ji Soo didn't mention "Hwarang" directly on her controversial post, this caption caused an uproar especially for the fans of the said historical drama. Some of the netizens called Kim Ji Soo a "team killer" and "kill joy". Others explained why they see her that way by stating that Kim Ji Soo should have been more sensitive of the efforts of her co-stars because they might feel down if they see posts like that.

As of the time of writing, Kim Ji Soo has not released any official statement regarding this controversy yet. Meanwhile, All Kpop further explained that the said screenshot featured one of Kim Ji Soo's most successful projects and netizens translated this post as her way of being disappointed with "Hwarang".

"Hwarang" just aired its premiere episode last week but has been on the hype as it was dubbed to be the next "Scarlet Heart: Ryeo", according to Soompi.

While waiting for Kim Ji Soo's clarification, catch the next episodes of "Hwarang" this week on KBS or on streaming sites such as Dramafever and Viki.
