South Korean actress Kim So-hyun is being lauded online for her untainted image and independence after 17 years in the industry.
The 26 year old actress, who started working as a child star, has never found herself dragged into public scandals, dating scandals or personal feuds.
Her fans label her as 'untouchable' for having a clean image and an independent mind.
"Seventeen years in the industry — no issue, no scandal, no boyfriend — just her and independent self," one of the social media posts said, attracting widespread attention.
The post also mentioned that Kim is one of the youngest and richest actresses in South Korea, even though she has never led a TV series in the last two years.
Kim is most recognizable for her range in popular dramas like Love Alarm and River Where the Moon Rises.
Even throughout her recent hiatus from TV productions, she has continued to be one of the most esteemed people working in the field, and her reputation is something to which fans and actors alike point and admire.
Online responses to the viral Facebook post have been largely positive, with netizens praising her long career and discipline.
"I loved her since school 2015," one user said. "Absolutely it's just staying strong, firm and have a lot of confidence — your great work proves everything. Great going, sweetheart."
One commenter explained their history with her: "I loved her since Moon Embracing the Sun."
Another remarked on her status: "Perhaps youngest richest Korean actress."
Meanwhile, a fan declared her importance to them: "She is my first female idol in Korean drama."
In a business hampered by gossips and scandals so often, she is an excellent model of how to attain success and respectfulness without selling out one's values.
As her fans do so proudly proclaim, "That's our girl — the untouchable queen."
