YouTuber Lee Jin-Ho, “Kim Seon-ho doesn’t have to pay penalty for brand deals”

Actor Kim Seon-ho, who was embroiled in allegations of forcing his ex-girlfriend to have an abortion, is predicted to be exempted from paying a penalty for the loss of the advertising brands he signed with.

Lee Jin-ho, an entertainment reporter-turned-Youtuber, said in a live broadcast on October 28th, “I know that no company has claimed a penalty from Kim Seon-ho.”

He said, “I thought the penalty would be large because Kim Seon-ho was a trending actor and received at least 5 billion won in advertising fees, but the advertising officials said differently.”

He then pointed out, “Privacy issues were not included in advertising contracts “ adding, “Usually, the artists only pay a penalty when they cause crimes that create social controversy or clear crimes.”

In the meantime, he claimed that Kim Seon-Ho’s advertisements getting erased were “a matter of trust.” He said, “The advertisement companies asked his agency about the issue but didn’t get a clear answer,” and added, “They only took preemptive measures due to trust problems.”

Lee Jin-ho also believed that even if the affected advertiser filed a lawsuit against Kim Seon-ho for damages, it is unlikely that they will win the case. “It’s his private life problem, so he doesn’t have to pay the penalty,” he said adding, “But they can ask him to return the remaining advertising fee of the contract.”

Earlier, Kim Sun-ho was embroiled in revelations that he forced his ex-girlfriend to have an abortion under the pretext of marriage. As the controversy grew, Kim Seon-ho dropped out of KBS2’s entertainment program “Two Days One Night Season 4.”

On Oct 26th, the atmosphere has changed since an article came out that the suspicion of “Actor K” raised towards Kim Seon-ho was not entirely true. Dispatch reported on the same day that Kim Seon-ho’s ex-lover, who exposed the story of actor K, made Kim Seon-ho’s life difficult due to her frequent affairs and luxurious life, and that the abortion was an agreement between her and Kim Seon-ho.
