I omitted some of the drama credits, cause they were:
- listed at HanCinema without role reference
- not additionally listed either at Daum or more importantly at the talent agency (there's no upside to not list a credit for an agency I would think).
Do we have a credible source that he was in those? --Vylmen (talk) 05:27, 8 August 2020 (PDT)
- Character actors like this often have many very minor parts in dramas and movies, often in unnamed roles. Listing them all is certainly not required. Agencies will typically only list their larger roles. I gathered these credits from his Korean Wikipedia listing, which is as credible as most other similar sources. --FritzB (talk) 05:46, 8 August 2020 (PDT)
- Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I got more careful, since many sites have a problem with false credits and they end up copying the mistake from each other. See for example the actor note for Yang Zhen Yu I put in here. On IMDB, I'm slowly removing Korean actors from this prankster's mass addition of fake credits. And as an argument I'm using that the agent isn't listing them, which (along with my IMDB karma) seems to get things deleted.--Vylmen (talk) 06:08, 8 August 2020 (PDT)
- Yes, finding credible sources for minor characters can be quite challenging. I've found child actor credits by searching Instagram posts (typically posted by the child's parent) showing a picture from the drama set with the child with the show's stars. Sometimes we get really lucky - character actor Dean Dawson actually added his credits to DW himself! --FritzB (talk) 06:50, 8 August 2020 (PDT)
