Kim Seon-ho appeared in an interim advertisement for KBS 2TV’s entertainment show “2 Days 1 Night”.
“2 Days 1 Night” Season 4, which aired on Nov 21st, depicted the cast’s trip to Jeju Island for the 100th episode following last week. After Kim Seon-ho‘s departure, it was the first broadcast recorded under a 5-member system, including talent Yeon Jung-hoon, Kim Jong-min, Moon Se-yoon, DinDin and Ravi.
The production team almost edited the scene where Kim Seon-ho appeared in episode 97 airing on Oct 24th. After about a month, a commercial for 11Street in which Kim Seon-ho is a model was inserted as an interim one. This is an advertisement to promote the “11Street Black Friday Original” sale held from Nov 22nd to Nov 30th ahead of Black Friday (Nov 26th) – the largest shopping event in the United States.
Initially, 11Street took down advertising videos after the controversy over Kim Seon-ho‘s personal life broke out. From Nov 1st, the advertisement for the “Nov 11th Festival” was kicked off again. At that time, an official of 11Street said, “This commercial was filmed in early October before the issue arose. Kim Seon-ho signed a model contract with us and faithfully fulfilled his duties. As he made an official apology, we have decided to resume his advertising activities as our brand’s model.” Some netizens declared a boycott of 11Street, saying that they were uncomfortable with awareness of abortion. They certified the termination process of their 11Street membership on SNS and attached the hashtag “#I’m_terminating_my_11street_membership_because_of_Kim_Seonho”.
On Oct 17th, Kim Seon-ho‘s ex-girlfriend A uploaded a long post titled “I accuse the dual and shameless real personality of popular actor K” on an online community. She wrote, “He had done such subhuman behaviors to me, such as making me abort out baby and demanding unilateral sacrifice from me. My mental and physical trauma is in a serious state.” 3 days after remaining silent, Kim Seon-ho admitted to being the rumored actor mentioned in A’s revelation. He said, “I met her with good feelings. In the process, I hurt her with my careless and inconsiderate actions.”
Meanwhile, Kim Seon-ho will return with the movie “Sad Tropical” (Director Park Hoon-jung). It is about a boy, who was born by a Korean father and a Filipino mother. He dreams of becoming a boxer and comes to Korea to find his father. Kim Seon-ho will play a mysterious character who seems to be an obstructor as if he was the boy’s helper. He is scheduled to attend the script reading next month, and the work will start filming on Dec 10th.
