On June 20, former reality TV personality Mr. Kim shared several photos of Jin Ki-joo featuring investigator Im Han-rim, a member of the Teachers’ Rights Protection Bureau in I’ll teach you a lesson. Alongside the pictures, he expressed admiration for her transformation and performance.
Commenting on Jin Ki-joo’s student disguise in the drama, Mr. Kim wrote: “She was born in 1989 and is already in her thirties, but there is absolutely no sense of embarrassment when she is dressed as a student.” She also highlighted scenes featuring the actress’s strong language and intense acting. “She swears so naturally which makes her even more fascinating. She seems like someone who wouldn’t swear at all, so to see her do it so casually is cute.” His remarks suggest he was impressed by how convincingly he played a character that differs significantly from his usual public image.
Addressing the ongoing debate over Jin Ki-joo’s performance, Mr. Kim made it clear that he disagrees with the criticism. “I don’t understand the acting controversy at all. She’s just working hard and immersing herself in the character. Why is everyone so bothered by it?”
His comments come after mixed reactions emerged following the release of I’ll teach you a lesson on June 5th. While some viewers praised Jin Ki-joo’s passionate portrayal of Im Han-rim, others criticized her vocal performance and screaming scenes, leading to online discussions about her acting style.
ưBorn in 1982, Mr. Kim attracted public attention through reality dating shows ENA and SBS Plus I am alone, I love forever. Earlier this year, he publicly confirmed his relationship with Soon-ja from the 28th season of I’m alone. The couple, however, recently announced their breakup. The split has since attracted attention online, with both sides reportedly exchanging public accusations through their respective social media accounts.
Despite controversy over some aspects of the performances, I’ll teach you a lesson remains a topic of discussion among viewers. The series stars Jin Ki-joo as Im Han-rim, a central figure tasked with addressing issues related to school violence and teachers’ rights. All episodes of the series are currently available for streaming on Netflix.
As the debate over his performance continues, Mr Kim’s public endorsement has added another voice to the conversation, with the reality star insisting that criticism of Jin Ki-joo is unwarranted.
