Han Ji Min Faces criticism Following Blue Dragon Film Awards Hosting Debut
Seoul, South Korea – Actress Han Ji Min is receiving significant backlash for her performance as host of the “46th Blue Dragon Film Awards” held recently. Despite a year of planning, reviews have been overwhelmingly critical, questioning her readiness for the high-profile role traditionally filled by veteran actress Kim Hye Soo.
The scrutiny stems from a report by THE FACT detailing han Ji min’s perceived lack of composure and experience during the ceremony. While acknowledging a slight betterment from previous appearances, the publication stated her delivery was “stiff, almost textbook-like,” marred by mispronunciations and incomplete sentences. This year’s awards have already drawn wider criticism regarding the state of the south Korean film industry, as reported by Koreaboo.
THE FACT further noted Han Ji Min “struggled to respond naturally to co-host Lee Je Hoon’s lighthearted ad-libs,” resulting in a lack of chemistry between the two presenters. The review highlighted a visible tension throughout the broadcast, suggesting she was unable to conceal the pressure of the role.
Despite the negative reception, THE FACT concluded that Han Ji Min possesses the potential to succeed Kim Hye Soo as host, but only “if her skills stabilize.” Public opinion currently leans negative, leaving her return for next year’s Blue Dragon Film Awards uncertain.
