The past interview of senior Kim Hye-soo is being re-examined due to the criticism of actor Kim Tae-ri's demand for translation talent donation.
Previously, on the 22nd, Kim Tae-ri announced on her Instagram that she was looking for a YouTube channel video subtitle translator, and was criticized for demanding 'talent donation'. At the time, he wrote, "The translation project is done through talent donation, and if you are interested, fill out the form and our team will contact you."
On the 23rd, the agency's management mmm made a statement and said, "Requesting help for translating subtitles in various languages started with the hope that more overseas fans would enjoy this video." I sincerely apologize for causing you any inconvenience.”
On the other hand, Kim Hye-soo introduced her own reading method in an interview with Yeosong Dong-a in July 2016 and said, "If I accidentally discover a writer and fall in love with his books, I buy and read all the books written by that writer. Books that have not been translated and published in Korea. If so, I buy it directly from an overseas online site, and then I entrust the translation separately to receive and read it.”
Kim Hye-soo's past interview is unintentionally compared to Kim Tae-ri's controversy over the translation talent donation request, and is being re-examined in related communities.
