Im Chae-moo made a small fortune as a heartthrob actor in South Korea.

When Women’s March shared information about an upcoming rally on Instagram, one person responded, “No im tired, yall have fun though.”

YANGJU, South Korea — In the late 1970s, before he became a television star and a household name in South Korea, Im Chae-moo was working as an extra when he had an epiphany.

“That was when it just came to me,” Im recalled.

At a time when an apartment in Seoul would sell for just a few thousand dollars, Im was making nearly $100,000 a month.
