My Take
I have a soft spot for performers forged in the brutal furnace of survival shows, and Kim So-hye is exactly that. Placing fifth on Produce 101 to join I.O.I could have been the whole story, but what impresses me is how she refused to let it be. She quietly pivoted into acting, stacking up roles across years rather than chasing one viral moment. Crossing from idol to actor is harder than it looks, and she has done it with persistence instead of noise. The flashy debut matters less to me than the deep-rooted durability that keeps her working. That is the real talent.
