"Kim Ho-young anything." Musical actor Kim Ho-young is drawing praise for his character as fellow entertainers rally in support of his unretouched profile photo project.
Kim Ho-young posted the photos on his personal social media on the 24th with the caption "let's do it." The released photos featured new profile shots Kim Ho-young recently took, attracting attention.
The photos are the results of Kim Ho-young's unretouched profile photo project conducted with a photo studio. Under the theme called "project: unfiltered," which forces one to face oneself as is without filters, Kim Ho-young appears to have confronted his image with natural lighting and unretouched photos.
What draws attention is that despite being a simple profile photo update, Kim Ho-young's new post drew an outpouring of support from fellow entertainers. Singer and musical actor Bada cheered, "Kim Ho-young anything," and Kim Ho-young replied with an emoji of eyes turned into hearts.
Choreographer Bae Yoon-jung also welcomed Kim Ho-young's new profile photo, saying, "Oh my, it feels so good." Actor Byun Yo-Han supported Kim Ho-young's new photos with clapping emojis. The support from colleagues across fields poured in for Kim Ho-young, once again suggesting the wide network of relationships he maintains in the entertainment industry.
Coincidentally, Kim Ho-young was recently recalled in connection with a past controversy. This was the fallout from singer and musical actor Ok Joo Hyun's renewed mention four years later of the so-called "Okjangpan targeting" controversy, which was triggered by her 2022 post on Kim Ho-young's social media saying, "Asaripan is a thing of the past, now it's Okjangpan."
Ok Joo Hyun said she regrets most that she once sued Kim Ho-young and later withdrew the suit. She also emphasized that over four years, Kim Ho-young's remarks led to the unwanted epithet "Okjangpan" following her like a nickname, and she said she is still waiting for Kim Ho-young to make a statement.
However, Kim Ho-young did not issue any separate statement on the matter. Coincidentally traveling to New York at the same time, he returned after the controversy calmed and carried out his scheduled commitments, naturally resuming his daily life. There was, however, no mention of "Okjangpan."
Afterward, the profile photo project that appeared on Kim Ho-young's social media drew attention as entertainment industry colleagues poured in their support. Even the single word "let's do it" felt suggestive. Kim Ho-young's actions, receiving strong encouragement from fellow entertainers without an explanation about "Okjangpan," are drawing attention.
