“The Childe” salvages Kim Seon Ho from career pitfall and elevates him to biggest star on big screen
Kim Seon Ho officially returns to the acting scene, exciting fans.
In 2021, Kim Seon Ho was at the height of his career with “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.” It was a big break for the actor after years of playing supporting roles and second male leads.
Nonetheless, his hard-built career started to crumble overnight when a controversy took over social media. It went that Kim Seon Ho allegedly forced his girlfriend to get an abortion. Brands and partners terminated contracts with the actor. At first, Kim Seon Ho admitted his wrongdoings and apologized to his ex and those who got involved. He pulled himself from many projects and had to compensate a huge sum of money to brands affected by the situation. Many shots of the actor in filming projects had to be removed or edited. The “Star Up” actor was hanging by the thread when Dispatch came in and gave the full picture.
It turned out the “Good Manager” star had been fully supportive of his girlfriend. He accepted her regardless of her divorce and promised to raise their child together when he knew she was pregnant. According to Dispatch, the ex-girlfriend was the one who cheated on him many times. She was also embroiled in complex situations with loan sharks and lawsuits.
With clear reasoning and robust evidence, they cleared actor Kim’s name. However, the “Catch the Ghost” star went on a hiatus for 2 years. He only resumed work late last year.
This time, the actor officially returns as a bloodlust killer in the movie “The Childe.” The movie is garnering attention from the public and achieving considerable success at the moment. It is a major shift for Kim Seon Ho, considering he has been known for a “good guy” image amplified by his radiant dimple smile. If “The Childe” is set side by side with “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha,” one can hardly recognize the male leads are played by the same person.
“The Childe” also has a personal meaning to Kim Seon Ho, as it was the only project that stayed by the actor’s side throughout the toughest time in his career. In an interview with Sports Chosun, the actor shared, “I have no way of knowing how director Park Hoon Jung felt at that time, but I was personally grateful and grateful. In fact, you have mixed feelings.”
Actor Kim also confessed, in the long 2 years he disappeared from the acting scene, he has been reflecting hard on what happened and what may come, saying, “It’s still a bit too good to say ‘It’s okay.’ I’m just trying to improve as an actor in order to show a good side in the future, and I’m thinking about it,” he said, adding, “After listening to the advice after this work was released, I think it will definitely be a turning point in my life. Won’t it be of great help to my acting life in the future? I’m going to listen to the evaluations and use it as a turning point so that I can go in a better direction as an actor.”
