Recently, actress Lee El spoke up to defend her young colleague Kim Sae-ron, emphasizing the pressures and challenges she faced since she was a child. Lee El shared that at the age of 9,

Kim Sae-ron did not know much but was forced by her parents to join the entertainment industry. By the age of 15, she began to be more aware of the world around her, but was considered a “snake flower” who seduced others, leading to many misunderstandings and criticisms.

Kim Sae-ron began her acting career at a young age and quickly became famous through impressive roles. However, entering the entertainment industry at an early age caused her to face many pressures and expectations. Misunderstandings and criticisms from the public have had a significant impact on her spirit and career.

The incident has once again highlighted the pressure young artists face in the Korean entertainment industry, where harshness and high expectations can lead to serious consequences.

Lee El’s support is not only to protect Kim Sae-ron, but also raises a big question about society’s responsibility towards child actors. Children entering the entertainment industry at such an early age can cause them to lose their childhood, face heavy pressure and unreasonable prejudice from the public. Many child stars have fallen into a state of psychological crisis when they grow up or have difficulty finding their image. Kim Sae-ron’s case is just one of countless examples of the harshness of the Korean entertainment industry, where perfection and fame can turn a person from a hero to a sinner in the blink of an eye.
