In Korea, there are really not many transgender [people] who have come out and are actors, and there’s just a couple of gay [actors] who have come out publicly

There’s literally only three transfem Korean celebrities who also act. That is a very small pool to be picking from.

Sung-Hoon played the part well. Perhaps they were the best and most fitting applicant for the part at the time of casting. Unless the director states “I specifically picked a cis actor over a trans actor because they were cis” then im not sure I understand the frustration.

Dear complainants: Where the everloving fuck is Squid Game’s producers going to find an openly trans Korean actor? It is highly improbable.

I dislike this train of thought entirely.

I’m torn. I get the overall sentiment but I think they did right by the role as best they could given the climate.

Please feel free to correct me, I’m open to it, but I feel like fighting this is the least of many worries right this moment.
