[NETIZENBUZZ] SQUID GAME 2’S JO YURI IS GETTING GOOD RESPONSES OVERSEAS

Actors’ Instagram followings aren’t as significant as people might think. For example, not many know that Seol Inah or Moon Gayoung have over 10 million followers. Actress Jisoo, not BP’s Jisoo, also used to have 10 million followers. Nowadays, even a small reaction to a rom-com in Southeast Asia can quickly boost an actor’s following by millions. While reaching those numbers is impressive, it’s not surprising, especially for a show like Squid Game. However, unless you’re at the level of Jung Hoyeon, Instagram followings don’t have a huge impact on an actor’s career.. For actors, domestic recognition is more important than social media metrics because they rarely take on international projects. Consistent success in local productions is crucial, and if they don’t have continuous hits, their Instagram following can quickly become inflated or stagnant. Even Jung Hoyeon’s following has probably dropped by half now? Fans of singers tend to like the artist themselves, but fans gained through a single project tend to lose interest quickly. That’s why even Squid Game 2 actors might experience fluctuations in their following. Usually, actors like Lee Byunghun, Im Siwan, and Kang Haneul have lower followings, while someone like Park Gyuyoung might have around 3-4 million. It’s a slightly different situation?

There’s a bunch of foreigners calling Jo Yuri is pretty and cute if you search ‘Player 222’ so why are people claiming that she’s not popular… It’s because she is popular that her following is increasing. Why are you guys biting down your teeth so hard and denying this? It’s a good thing that Korean celebrities are popular overseas

Why are the comments so mad? It’s true that Jo Yuri is popular overseas;;; you guys keep comparing her to season 1 when Jung Hoyeon was such a special case. Usually, 2nd seasons have always done worse than the first one. Plus, Jo Yuri’s screen time was so small and it’s not like she had any impactful scene so the fact that she grew her following so fast means that the reactions are good. And there’s still season 3 left… Do you think that it’s that easy to gain followers? I can count the amount of actors with a lot of followers in my hand and there’s none among the SG2 cast
