Kim Seon Ho’s Comeback: Will He Regain the Glory of a Trending Star After Personal Life Controversy?
Kim Seon Ho is making his first comeback with the movie “The Childe” after the controversy over his personal life.
On the upcoming June 21st, the movie “The Childe” (directed by Park Hoon Jung), starring Kim Seon Ho as the lead, will be released.
“The Childe” tells the story of various forces, including a mysterious man (Kim Seon Ho), who appears in front of Marco (Kang Tae Joo), a boxing player who moves from one illegal boxing ring to another, and engages in a pursuit of madness.
“The Childe” has garnered much attention because of Kim Seon Ho, who is expected to deliver an intense acting performance. This is Kim Seon Ho’s comeback after the personal life controversy caused by the disclosure of his ex-girlfriend in October 2021.
At that time, Kim Seon Ho was proving to be a trending star by appearing in hot variety show and drama such as KBS2’s “1 Night 2 Days”, tvN’s “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” as well as various commercials, receiving great love from the public.
As he gained immense popularity, the aftermath of his controversy was significant. He withdrew from the movies he was cast in, such as “Dog Days” and “2 O’Clock Date”, and also stepped down from the variety show he was a regular member of, hiding from the public eye.
Afterwards, Kim Seon Ho met the audience through the theater play “Touching the Void,” but returning to the small screen was not easy. His comeback was delayed.
However, the support from Kim Seon Ho’s fans has been strong. His fan meeting held in December of last year sold out all seats for two days within five minutes. Kim Seon Ho, after finishing the fan meeting, also attended the 2022 Asia Artist Awards IN JAPAN held in Japan on December 13th.
At that time, Kim Seon Ho won four awards, including the DCM Popularity Award in the male actor category, the Idol Plus Popularity Award, the Asia Celebrity Award, and the Best Choice Award at the 2022 AAA. He showcased solid popularity that was not diminished even after a one-year hiatus.
In addition, when appearing on Kim Jong Kook’s YouTube channel “GYM JONG KOOK” recently, Kim Seon Ho showed off his friendly charm. Now, he is making his first comeback with “The Childe”, directed by Park Hoon Jung, who decided to keep Kim Seon Ho in the cast even during his controversy.
Kim Seon Ho has also been cast in Park Hoon Jung’s next film “Tyrant”. If “The Childe” surpasses the break-even point of 1.8 million viewers and becomes a box office hit, it is expected that there will be a reunion of the two through “The Childe 2.”
Having showcased a soft and friendly charm in “Start-Up” and “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha”, Kim Seon Ho is attracting attention once again as he succeeds in a new acting transformation through “The Childe”. This makes netizens wonder if he can walk the “flower path” of a trending star once more.
