Park So-dam became famous and earned global fame after the release of Bong Joon-ho's internationally acclaimed film Parasite (2019) and the 2020 romance drama Record of Youth. After recovering from her thyroid cancer treatment, the actress will mark her return to the industry with her upcoming movie Phantom.

"I’m [blurred]’s fan but I still don’t watch the show because of you, you hideous b*tch. Haha. Your face is seriously sh*t. I can’t believe you’re the female lead with a face like that. Have some decency. LMAO. You’d rather deal with the hate, huh? Because [blurred] is the male lead, right? Enjoying yourself? HAHA. What a time to be alive."

"You’re too f*cking ugly to be a female lead. LOL. But I get it, co-starring with [blurred] would’ve made me greedy, too. Haha. You must think Parasite made you the sh*t. But remember that the internet hates you. Come to your senses. Even [blurred]’s fans have given up on the show. Pffft."
