The 2021 Baeksang “curse”: Kim Seon Ho and Seo Ye Ji both won the popularity award and ended up being involved in shocking scandals
Who would have thought that there would be such a coincidence between Kim Seon Ho – Seo Ye Ji that is even related to the 2021 Baeksang, the most prestigious entertainment awards in Korea.
Currently, the rumors of Kim Seon Ho being “Actor K” who is accused of forcing his girlfriend to have an abortion, lying, and badmouthing his co-stars is taking the spotlight on different news sites and social media platforms. Although the management agency of the “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” star has not yet spoken up, his pictures have been removed by many brands he endorses. Amid the controversies, netizens suddenly discovered an unexpected coincidence.
Kim Seon Ho and Seo Ye Ji, who won the most popular actor/actress category at the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards, both end up getting embroiled in serious controversies of their careers that are related to the personal relationships with their romantic partners. Kim Seon Ho is currently rumored to be “Actor K” who is accused of forcing his ex-girlfriend to have an abortion, speaking ill of his co-stars behind their backs. Meanwhile, earlier this year, Seo Ye Ji was alleged to have manipulated her ex-boyfriend and faked her education. Another coincidence is that after their scandals broke out, a series of brands that the two actors represent both turned their backs on them and took down their pictures. Netizens can’t help but get goosebumps because this coincidence is like a “curse”.
Kim Seon Ho is a rising actor in the Korean entertainment industry. He has garnered a huge amount of attention thanks to the success of “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha”. However, suddenly on October 17 – right after the final broadcast of the romance drama, a post surfaced on an online community, exposing the misdeeds of a famous actor, who is rumored to be Kim Seon Ho. The accuser is his ex-girlfriend. This girl accused the actor of luring her into marriage, then turning his back on her and even forcing her to have an abortion. The actor brought up a fine of 900 million won in damages to put pressure on his girlfriend and encouraged her to abort the baby.
But later, the girlfriend discovered that the fine was just a lie. After becoming famous, the actor allegedly gave her only 2 million won to pay for abortion procedures, and broke up with her over the phone. He was also accused of being a two-faced person. He has a sweet image on TV, but in real life he often badmouths his co-stars. Although Kim Seon Ho’s agency still stays silent, many brands have turned their backs on him.
Back in April, “It’s Okay to Not Be Okay”’s star Seo Ye Ji was also caught up in the biggest scandal in her career. From the controversy over Kim Jung Hyun ignoring and being rude to his co-star Seohyun (SNSD), Dispatch has investigated and announced the shocking truth behind his attitude. It turned out that during filming with Seohyun, Kim Jung Hyun was dating Seo Ye Ji who manipulated, controlled, and did not allow the actor to be intimate with his female co-star.
A series of scandals involving Seo Ye Ji continued to break out later, including the controversy where the actress was accused of lying about studying abroad in Spain, acting annoyed towards the staff and even manipulating DBSK’s Yunho. Seo Ye Ji then had to withdraw from the project “Island”, as well as having her endorsement deals terminated by many brands, facing the risk of paying billions of won in damages.
