[+370] She is a good match but I would've preferred the opportunity go to a professional voice actor

[+217] There are professional voice actors for a reason, why did they pick an idol..

[+147] I wish they cast a professional voice actor ㅠ

[+133] Am I missing the part where she has acting experience on her resume to be picked for this role? There are professional voice actors with actual acting experience...

[+70] Can we please leave these jobs to the professionals who trained for them. Hire a professional voice actor... This is just so wrong. I'd understand if she was just going to do the songs but she's going to do all of the acting lines too, and I feel like that's wrong.

[+45] I saw the teaser. Her voice itself is pretty but her Korean pronunciation is... quite lacking to be acting yet. I wish they had just cast a professional voice actor. There are a ton who can sing well.

[+36] She's as pretty as a real mermaid 👏👏👏👏👏

[+19] Is it so hard to ask that professional voice actors be given these roles...? Her image is great for this but... that's it, just her image. 

[+17] I think even Disney's given up on this movie. Why would you cast an idol who can't even speak Korean on a show that Korean children are going to watch? There were other idol members they could've gone with.

[+10] She's ten thousand times prettier than Ariel

[+10] She should've been the lead, not just the dub

[+8] Wow, a total match 😍😍😍😍😍

[+7] Wow, her visuals are perfect for this~

[+4] I don't think Disney cares... they just want to ride on their fanbase

[+2] Wow, her voice matches well

[+2] I think Danielle adds to the innocence of Ariel
