A viral post is gaining attention online after a netizen questioned whether actress Ryu Da In has been unfairly affected by going public with her relationship with actor Lee Chae Min.
The post argued that Ryu Da In’s career trajectory appears noticeably different from her boyfriend’s following the confirmation of their relationship.
I think Ryu Da-in’s case is a typical example of the imbalance and inequality in the Korean entertainment industry.

“I think Ryu Da In’s case is a typical example of the imbalance and inequality in the Korean entertainment industry. why does it seem like her relationship with Lee Chae Min seem to be affecting her only and not her boyfriend? Her last project was Pyramid Game in 2024 which was before her relationship was announced. Since her relationship was made public, it feels like she has not been treated fairly in terms of opportunities, no casting news, no deals, no covers while while Lee Chae Min has appeared in several dramas, promos, adverts, brand deals, and magazine covers. What is her agency even doing? It feels like she’s getting punished for confirming her relationship as a rookie . It doesn’t make sense, especially since she is very talented.”
The netizen noted that Lee Chae Min has continued appearing in multiple dramas, promotional campaigns, advertisements, brand partnerships, and magazine shoots, while Ryu seems to have been kept on the backburner. The writer also criticized the actress’s agency, questioning whether enough was being done to support her career.
The discussion quickly gained traction, with many netizens debating whether female celebrities still face harsher consequences for public relationships than their male counterparts.

Some agreed with the sentiment, while others argued that differences in projects and opportunities may not necessarily be related to the relationship itself.
That and she also does not match their beauty standard. They just got an excuse to ignore her https://t.co/KuMpPdbCCD
