4 Korean Actresses Who Overcame Casting Controversy: Kim Go Eun, Ahn Eun Jin, More

Despite experiencing casting controversy, Kim Go Eun, Ahn Eun Jin, and more proved people wrong by showcasing brilliant acting skills.

When the image of the actress and the character you imagined and expected is different, people express regret for the discrepancy. However, these actresses overturned these concerns with excellent acting skills, and led to the success of their dramas.

Kim Go Eun

She faced several miscasting issues from her past series from "Cheese in the Trap," "Goblin," and "Yumi's Cells," and Kim Go Eun became a magnet of negative comments.

Some pointed out that the reason was about her visuals, and that she did not match the characters in the original webtoon, and the gap between the characters' ages in the dramas.

Despite the backlash, Kim Go Eun put these concerns to rest after showcasing her amazing performances.

She perfectly completed the role of a fresh high school student, a lively college student, and an ordinary office worker in her 30s.

The actress impressed the audience with her character immersion and proved how passionate she is about her craft.

Ahn Eun Jin

Ahn Eun Jin was loved for her role as Yoo Gil Chae in MBC's "My Dearest," a daughter of a wealthy adoptive family who grew up well. In the drama, she fell in love with a man who doesn't believe in love.

Sadly, at the beginning of the series, she was embroiled in a miscasting controversy.

In her variety show appearance, Ahn Eun Jin shared the pressure she experienced at that time:

"I came to read the script and felt like running away. And asked myself, 'Can I handle this?'"

The actress revealed that she was upset as she did not receive support for her character, but she thought about how to express Gil Chae and should make an effort to express it well.

And maybe at that time, viewers would definitely follow along.
