With due respect to Changmin (and please note that I could only compare it to the criticism about Changmin as the others idols are not included in this post), why in the world where a person with 6/10 got the criticism of "An example of an actor with poor acting skills" while a idol with 5.4/10 get a better comment like " the quality in his acting is still up to the standard that could be shown to the public

oops sorry~! there was a typo, changmin's one should be "Still not up to standard". Probably accidentally deleted that while doing some editing.

I also found it weird that it seems as if Changmin's comments sound better than Jae's, but its subjective to judge a person's acting i guess? Some may find it good, some may find it bad. Let's look at the bright side, at least our boys were worthy to be even mentioned and judged :D And not the last!

sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the correction. if that's the case, then I take back my comment.

yeah, I'm glad that the boys were at least mentioned and they're not the last ^^

they probably evaluated not only their acting skills, but marketability and success of their respective projects as well.

Thanks for the translation!
There were people who criticized, “Because these idol artistes got their casting roles in TV dramas due to their popularity and not by abilities, it makes survival difficult for newbie actors of the same age.”
Oh really? Then what prevents the producers to cast newbie actors instead of Idols? Those "professionals" really irk me sometimes. As if they have some super-duper scripts! Put out solid and new story first, then you won't have to use idols to attract viewers to your production :/
