Yesterday (Monday, 1st November), reporter Kang Kyung Yoon of SBS Radio’s show “Current Events Special” appeared to discuss about the controversy surrounding popular K-drama star Kim Seon Ho (김선호).
Earlier that day, Dispatch revealed some text messages shared between the actor and his then-girlfriend, Choi Young Ah. In the media report, the Korean media outlet claimed that the latter had allegedly twisted Kim’s words.
During the broadcast, reporter Kang commented, “There have been rumours spreading saying that Kim Seon Ho is messing with the media, but as far as I know, he’s not had any response at all.” She further revealed that the “Start-Up” star has been in shock after the controversy broke out. It is also said that Kim even contemplated on whether he should throw in the towel – particularly his career in the Hallyu scene.
“He is so shocked by this situation that he has been thinking a lot about giving up everything. I’m talking about his career in the entertainment industry,” Kang explained. “What’s fascinating is that the people who are speaking up (about the scandal) are friends of the ex-girlfriend. About five to six close friends have been sharing their text messages that the woman (‘A’) sent to them, and they feel Kim Seon Ho’s situation is very unfortunate.”
In related news, AllKpop revealed in their most recent published article stating that the path for the 35-year-old actor to make his return to the entertainment industry has opened. The statement was made after several media outlets found that the credibility of the claims made by “A” is “slowly decreasing”, the portal reported.
In this case, with more information (for example from Dispatch and also YouTuber reporter Lee Jin Ho) being disclosed, it appears that the public’s opinion regarding the scandal has been gradually changing.
Just last week, it was revealed that several brands have started reusing ads featuring Kim after taking it down temporarily. Additionally, it was announced that Kim will remain in the cast lineup of the movie “Sad Tropics” as a lead role.
With the path for his return opening up gradually, a lot of fans are expecting the rising performer to make his triumphant return to the scene soon.
