Actor Kim Seon-ho, who has hit rock bottom of his acting life due to controversy over his private matters, finally has the chance for a rebound. Dispatch, an entertainment media outlet, recently released various materials surrounding him and his ex-girlfriend, reporting that the truth in the original post was distorted. Will Kim Seon-ho be able to revive his career?
On Oct 26th, Dispatch reported on the allegations of Kim Seon-ho‘s “forced abortion” and controversy over his private life, which are based on testimonies and mobile phone messages from Kim Seon-ho‘s acquaintances. This article completely refuted Kim Seon-ho’s ex’s claim that “Kim Seon-ho urged her to have the abortion and gave only 2 million won to pay for the hospital bill before notifying her of the breakup. In response to Dispatch’s article, Kim’s agency, Salt Entertainment, said, “We have nothing to say about this. We are sorry.”
Shortly after the report, the online community continued to argue about Kim Seon-ho. Unlike in the past, when only Kim Seon-ho was criticized, aside from opinions that only the involved parties know about what happened in their relationship, there are also opinions about the entertainment industry, which had previously started to get rid of Kim Seon-ho by dropping him out of KBS2 “2 Days 1 Night” and canceling his next film, saying “If the situation has turned out like this, isn’t it okay for him to return?”. Netizens are turning their opinion upside down, with comments such as “Where are all the people who cursed Kim Seon-ho before?”, “Isn’t it a confession out of conscience of that girl’s acquaintance?”, “Kim Seon-ho should appear in the 100th special of “2 Days 1 Night” to overcome the misunderstandings and prove his honor.”
On the other hand, many people are skeptical about the possibility of his return, wondering if his image will be tarnished by this incident and whether he will be able to do his acting career again: “But that doesn’t mean that the abortion is fake, it’s still there”, “I’ll quit being a fan because I know too many facts now,” and “He can’t appear in romance pieces anymore.”
