Actor. Supporting roles only. Single reference to a doubius article that mentions him in passing; ko wiki article seems little better. Not seeing how he meets WP:NBIO. Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here 05:00, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

- Imo likely notable; Google indexing of Korean news is pretty poor too, I've noticed. grapesurgeon (talk) 08:13, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
- @Grapesurgeon I looked at the first one. It's about him (title translates as "Child actor Shin Ki-joon cast in MBC's 'Blow, Breeze'... Role: North Korean boy 'Young-chul'") but it is very short and effectively press release or a rewrite of one; I am also unsure if the publisher is reliable (Top Star News, writeup here: Top Star News - NamuWiki ). It is not on Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/Reliable sources, either as reliable or unreliable, we would have to dig deeper. Is there anything better you see, per Wikipedia:THREE?

- topstarnews is likely reliable. That one is too short for WP:SIGCOV. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 05:18, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

- Weak delete - he appears to have had briefly a leading role on a kids' show. I don't think that's enough. Bearian (talk) 13:41, 6 June 2026 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
