They exert influence across drama, YouTube, theater and social media, chipping away at public prejudice. Pressian met people who center disability in their work in popular culture to hear about their journeys and what they want to say through their art. Editor<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Lee Chan-hyuk of AKMU released his second full-length album EROS last year and drew praise for both its artistry and popular appeal. Rooted in \u201980s pop and focused on themes of love and solidarity, the album and its track \u201cLove Under Threat of Extinction\u201d swept three awards at the 23rd Korean Popular Music Awards\u2014Best Pop Album, Best Pop Song and Song of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>The record\u2019s success wasn\u2019t just down to Lee Chan-hyuk. The title track \u201cVivid Lala Love\u201d gained even more fans thanks to the charisma of the actors who dance alongside him. In particular, Kim Yoo-nam (33), who opens the \u201cVivid Lala Love\u201d music video, drew attention comparable to Lee Chan-hyuk with his shaved head, markedly small stature and intense stare.<\/p>\n<p>When Pressian met Kim at a caf\u00e9 in Noryangjin, Dongjak District, Seoul, on the 26th of last month, he presented a side that contrasted sharply with his fierce music\u2011video persona. With messy hair and an easy grin, he cracked jokes. He laughed that the attention he got after the video left him with a brief case of celebrity syndrome, even jokingly calling himself Chan\u2011hyuk\u2019s \u201clittle brother.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if the celebrity syndrome had worn off, Kim hesitated, then pulled out his phone and unlocked it. A clip of him dancing in the music video played. \u201cWhen people stare, I sometimes pull up my phone and fidget with it to see if they\u2019ll recognize me,\u201d he said. Apparently celebrity syndrome isn\u2019t easy to shake.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr\/image\/2026\/04\/CP-2023-0188\/image-8ffd9026-fb69-4f13-8204-0ce70b068d7a.png\" alt=\"&nbsp;   \u25b2Actor Kim Yoo-nam, who has dwarfism, appearing in Lee Chan-hyuk\u2019s \u201cVivid Lala Love\u201d music video \u24d2 Screenshot from Lee Chan-hyuk\u2019s music video\" \/><figcaption>&nbsp;   \u25b2Actor Kim Yoo-nam, who has dwarfism, appearing in Lee Chan-hyuk\u2019s \u201cVivid Lala Love\u201d music video \u24d2 Screenshot from Lee Chan-hyuk\u2019s music video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Kim was already a recognized actor before the music video. He began in 2015 with the play Different Class and has since worked in musicals, dance, drama and film. In 2018, when he played the dwarf character General Tom Thumb in the musical Barnum: The Greatest Showman, critics noted it was effectively the first time a disabled actor took a major role in a Korean commercial musical.<\/p>\n<p>As the public often labels him a disabled actor, Kim\u2019s condition goes beyond simply being shorter than average\u2014he has dwarfism. He stands 132 centimeters and weighs 60 kilograms. His head and torso are not much different from average, but his height and hands are noticeably smaller, so he tends to stand out in a crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Kim\u2019s dwarfism stems from achondroplasia, a cartilage\u2011development disorder that interferes with normal bone growth. Because his bones don\u2019t develop fully, they can bend and injure easily. He tires quickly when standing or walking long distances; he can shuffle short distances, but for longer trips he needs a motorized scooter.<\/p>\n<p>Born with a congenital condition, Kim has been shorter than his peers since childhood. His legs bowed repeatedly, requiring surgeries and orthotic devices over the years. Although he recognized those differences, he didn\u2019t think of himself as disabled. Reaching elevator buttons could be inconvenient, but he experienced little trouble in most day-to-day activities.<\/p>\n<p><span><span>\u201cI\u2019ve known I was short since I was a kid. But I never had a moment when I thought, \u2018Oh, I have a disability.\u2019 I never felt special. In fact, I\u2019ve often felt uncomfortable when people labeled me disabled. Just recently, I tried to get on an elevator and non-disabled people argued over me. One older man even blocked a woman who was about to board and told me, \u2018You go ahead.\u2019 I appreciate their kindness, but when people treat disability as something too difficult it becomes a burden,\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr\/image\/2026\/04\/CP-2023-0188\/image-9af19b03-1c2f-4967-9a00-cbe116553b60.png\" alt=\"&nbsp;   \u25b2Kim Yoo-nam and his mother \u24d2 Courtesy of Kim Yoo-nam\" \/><figcaption>&nbsp;   \u25b2Kim Yoo-nam and his mother \u24d2 Courtesy of Kim Yoo-nam<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Kim\u2019s take-it-in-stride attitude toward disability comes from his mother. Even though she uses a wheelchair, she has a cheerful personality and loved socializing. As an only child, Kim\u2019s mother introduced him to many people and experiences, which helped him build confidence and a sunny disposition.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to his mother\u2019s influence and those varied experiences, Kim learned early how to attract and enjoy friends\u2019 attention. A teacher who noticed this suggested he become a comedian, and Kim enrolled in the Department of Theater, Film and Comedy at Yewon Arts University. Challenging himself across theater, musicals and film during school, he naturally became an actor by graduation.<\/p>\n<p>Kim says dwarfism is a definite advantage for him as an actor. In a profession where commanding attention matters, his conspicuously small stature becomes an irreplaceable asset. He also reports high job satisfaction. \u201cIf I were born again I\u2019d still want to be an actor. Every new role lets me try the job I\u2019ve always dreamed of, and it\u2019s fun,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>His dwarfism also influenced his casting in Lee Chan-hyuk\u2019s music video. Lee\u2019s team wanted a range of faces, and Kim was among the actors they hired. Given the several media offers Kim received after the video\u2019s release, the casting choice appears to have paid off.<\/p>\n<p>But dwarfism doesn\u2019t always work to his advantage. The public sometimes focuses less on Kim\u2019s performance than on the fact that a disabled person is performing\u2014treating the presence of disability itself as the emotional centerpiece, rather than the craft.<\/p>\n<p><span><span>\u201cI see acting as a job that presents a character to the audience. But when I act, I often feel people remember me rather than the character or the story. I want to keep developing as an actor, but people often get overly emotional just because I have a disability. That can make me complacent, which isn\u2019t good, so I stay on guard against that mindset,\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr\/image\/2026\/04\/CP-2023-0188\/image-ed995cd7-8f84-40bd-bd87-535a3ece2774.png\" alt=\"&nbsp;   \u25b2Actor Kim Yoo-nam \u24d2 Pressian (Park Sang-hyuk)\" \/><figcaption>&nbsp;   \u25b2Actor Kim Yoo-nam \u24d2 Pressian (Park Sang-hyuk)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In daily life and on stage, Kim refuses to be treated as someone to be pitied because of his dwarfism. That\u2019s also why he introduces himself as a \u201cdwarf actor.\u201d He intentionally uses a familiar\u2014even pejorative\u2014term because he wants people to accept disabled individuals as ordinary members of society, rather than treating them as something to be feared.<\/p>\n<p>Along those lines, Kim plans to form an agency that brings together actors with dwarfism. He hopes that increased visibility in mass media will dissolve misconceptions and build familiarity. He also wants to challenge the tendency to cast non-disabled actors in dwarf roles when performers with dwarfism are available.<\/p>\n<p><span><span>\u201cI\u2019d love for people to treat disabled people\u2014and me\u2014as approachable. Ideally, I want people to think, \u2018Kim Yoo-nam isn\u2019t some saintly, inspirational disabled person; he\u2019s just a regular troublemaker you might meet in your neighborhood.\u2019 Of course, basic respect should always be there. But I want people to realize disabled people can be casual and approachable, and to feel comfortable asking questions when they don\u2019t know something. I want to stress that people with disabilities often dislike being treated as too special or too difficult to approach,\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite societal stigma, individuals proudly showcase their disabilities, breaking stereotypes through various
