Rookie actress Cho Hye Jung might have thought being cast as the female lead in upcoming drama 'Imaginary Cat' with Yoo Seung Ho would be a turning point in her career. And it still might be, but not without some obstacles.

As soon as it was announced that she was cast in the drama, she has been receiving continued hate and criticism for getting a lead role so quickly.

She was first shown on broadcast through SBS' variety show 'Take Care of My Dad' as the daughter of actor Cho Jae Hyun, who has starred in dramas like Assembly and Punch.

So far, Cho Hye Jung has some acting experience, and she's currently in the OnStyle drama 'My First Time' with SHINee's Minho. 'Imaginary Cat' will be her fourth production as she began acting last year.

Netizens are saying Cho Hye Jung was able to become the female lead with so little experience because of her famous father and for appearing on a variety show. The hate has gotten so bad that she's since deleted her Instagram account.
