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.
