Kim Ji Soo, the actor who faced controversy and was dropped from a show after allegations of school bullying emerged, has been the hot topic of K-Netz's discussion in the online community forum Instiz amid his apparent localization in Philippines.
Many netizens expressed their opinions on him and his effort to embrace the 'localization.
According to the posts shared on the forum, the actor is actively engaging with the Filipino audience and trying to take on a new culture to breathe new life into his career.
One of the users noted: "It is interesting to see him engaging with his fans that way." Nevertheless, the actor's actions have not gone unnoticed and have been met with some skepticism: "is he doing this in the Philippines because he can't enter Korea because of bullying?"

Be that as it may, today, the audience is discussing Ji Soo's new career development. Along with comments praising the man, the compliments concerning his appearance began to fill the thread: "wow, makeup! It's just yours. " Another remarked, "Why do your eyebrows remind me of Charlie Chaplin."
The internal controversiality of the actor's position reflects the ongoing controversial situation in K-pop and K-Drama regarding accountabilities and the measure of redemption.

However, fans can't decide whether Ji Soo is suitable for a second chance, especially since some past accusations seem false in the absence of evidence.
One of the supporters also depreciated criticism of the actor, as he only tries to work in another country, commenting, "Whichever he is, he's just trying to make a living and do what he loves. We should support his."
