Actor Kim Woo Bin made headlines recently after he appeared on a YouTube channel called "Pixid" and talked about his experience as a rookie model.
In a video titled "Finding Hidden Fake Rookie Models Among New Models," Kim pretended to be a new model and chatted with other rookie models on messenger.
During the conversation, Kim and the models discussed their most ridiculous show or photo shoot experience.
Kim Woo Bin surprised everyone when he confessed that he wore fishnet stockings and hot pants during his graduation project as a model. Although no one believed him, Kim insisted that he was serious.
Another model then shared their own ridiculous experience, revealing that they ended up taking 80 costume changes during a photo shoot that only paid them 400,000 won (approximately $330 USD).
Kim couldn't hide his anger and frustration at hearing this, saying that it was ridiculous that the brand only paid 400,000 won for 80 costume changes.
He even suggested exposing the brand on broadcast and urged them to reflect on their actions.
The video has since gained a lot of attention online, with many netizens sharing their thoughts and comments on the issue.
Here are some of the comments that have been circulating on social media:
"I can't believe that some brands are still taking advantage of rookie models like this. It's time for the industry to change and treat models with more respect and dignity."
