Fans of Kim Seon Ho (김선호) have been eagerly waiting for his comeback on the small screen, as the actor has been less active on the K-Drama scene after his scandal with his ex-girlfriend broke out. Back in October, it was reported that the actor will be starring in a historical drama titled “Haesi’s Sinru”.
Needless to say, many were over the moon to see Seon Ho back in action after over a year. However, the celebration was cut short after his agency, SALT Entertainment, revealed that he had turned down the offer. The company said, “Seon Ho discussed starring in the drama ‘Haesi’s Shinru”, but he came to terms with the production company that he won’t be starring in the drama after all.”
Following that, many were quick to come with their own speculations regarding the matter. In particular, one netizen claimed that many actresses had declined the offer to work alongside Seon Ho in the upcoming project. The full post reads:
“Seon Ho was offered the role of the genius scientist Crown Prince Lee Hyang and was positively reviewing it. However, as he was considered as the male lead, casting for the female lead became a tedious task. Most actresses who were on the list had declined to appear.
Some of them have considered taking on the role, but it is said that they have requested for various things from the production company, citing the reason that ‘the risk of working with Kim Seon Ho is high’. In particular, the romance setting played a part in casting the female lead. In the end, the production company decided to revise the entire casting, and came to the conclusion of withdrawing Kim Seonho from the cast.”
Meanwhile, many netizens shared their mixed responses regarding the actresses avoiding Seon Ho as their co-star. Some of the comments left by them include:
- “Are these women weird?”
- “This is an issue where only his fans and Dispatch are the ones shielding. Dispatch has been known for only guarding the men and throwing the women under the bus.
- “The fact is that if the female actress got an abortion, she wouldn’t even be able to come out anymore.”
So, what’s next for Seon Ho? According to reports, he’s currently filming the movie “Tyrant”, alongside Cha Seung Won and Kim Kang Woo.
