• So they either 1) can’t locate KSH, 2) they’re trying to square up the story, or 3) they’re trying to pay off the girl.

  The Hometown 3Cha team must be feeling whiplash from this. My condolences go out to the cast and crew.

  • And the KBS PD and editors are now scrambling on how to handle next Sunday's 1n2d broadcast. I do foresee a re-org of this show, since Ravi will most likely enlist this year as well. They might as well reorg or plan for a new altogether Sunday variety show, as they seem to have a curse.

  • @fawkes, in a previous post i said the same thing , I feel for the cast because the drama would end as My Queen .As for the rest, it's his private life . But when you work in K entertainment there are strict rules if you want to maintain your image . After all the scandals how can new actors still don't understand that they need to be "clean" without skeletons in the closet .

• @ockoala: I really liked your simile use in the opening few sentences. Great imagery!

• It took that long for the agency to respond only to come up with a lame statement.

  I guess the next step would be for KSH to admit and apologize.

• the scandal most probably true

  • anyway, given the claim is true, it's a good thing that the girl decided to expose it just after the drama was finished. she's sensible for thinking on behalf of the production team. coz she would jeopardise the drama and the team hardwork if she exposed it in the middle of the airing. unlike jisoo's victims who were selfish to expose it in the middle of airing which almost caused the entire production to fell into a bankruptcy. they could choose to expose it waay before the filming begun, but they chose to expose it right after the drama reached double digits. I'm sorry, but I've no sympathy for those victims who choose to expose the crime during the airing time when they have the option to expose it just before the filming or after the drama ends. coz their decision caused the other innocent peoples in the drama production to also become a victim due to their actions. meanwhile, taxi driver was fortunate for not airing the drama yet when naeun's scandal was exposed. i believe it would face the same situation like rwtmr if it was airing at the same time when the scandal was exposed.

    in this kim seunho case, only himself was affected. the girl is sensible and thoughtful enough to ensure that the production crew aren't affected with the scandal

    • Its not even confirmed yet. Then you are here assuming things.

    • What? JiSoo victims were not selfish!

      Guess you didn't follow the news at the time but it was the right timing to expose Jisoo, because it was a time everybody was watching, checking and paying attention to the bullying claims, his victims thought it was a good time to expose and be heard, and they got heard!

      So no, they are not selfish, the one to blame is Jisoo for his actions.

      Plus the drama did good after his leave and it can be even aired again in future or promoted in other places since they filmed it with another actor.

      Waiting it to finish would be worse.

  • On what do u spread this fake news.
    What a travesty to besmirch anyone especially without complete verification of truth. Let he who is without sin pick up the first stone.

• The agency is most likely trying to reach an agreement with the poor victim, that's why they are too scared to simply say yes or no LMFAO. Only his horny delusional ajumma fans would believe otherwise.

  • delusional ajumma fans? its not even proven yet, i understand u dont like ksh but pls dont jump into conclusion yet

  • So you are one of those maniac fans like that girl. There are many evidence that shows she is lying. First, why did she wait for so long to post this? was she waiting for the drama to be over? or was she waiting to see how famous will Kim Seon Ho be? And dude.. she dint had to abort the child, she could have kept the child and used as proof? does it make any sense now? If you can't support don't act as if you know all. I bet you have done so many mistakes like this and trying to spread the toxicity here. Please refrain yourself from doing this. Its trash!

    • You are perfectly right. I do not trust a girl who is waiting so long to reveal something if she is not having a secret agenda. And l am sorry, but a smart woman will not get pregnant. She wanted to get pregnant for her own gain.

    • Maybe read the full translation posted by koreaboo . They broke up only 4 months ago. She saw kim yong gun's case and other idols who took responsibility and realised how ksh basically tricked her. She was hurt and angered because he wasn't remorseful at all. The girl probably waited for his drama to finish so as not to repeat RWTMR 's scenario. She did say it was not all of a sudden that she decide to post it.
      She wrote how he manipulated her and even said that he will resent the child forever . She has her fault and she herself regrets her decision but the evil person is kim seon ho , who even lied abt the penalty fee.

    • @maria avam how disgusting. Girl was aware that how people don't take preventive measures in sk. That's why she was always alert and used to take contraceptive pills while dating him. There was a time when due to her health she couldn't take it. During that period the ksh wanted to finish it inside her,she couldn't refuse. He didn't want to use condom. That was the only time where they had unprotected intercourse and she became pregnant. Now why u are blaming the girl for it when ur horny oppa lacks sex education

• Ew most likely true then. Cancelled?!!

• Well damn, it's likely true then. I feel so sorry for his ex. He's cancelled. This is a bigger downfall than Seo Yeji because he's pretty much become A-list after HomeCha since the drama ended it's run in the Top 10 highest-rated TvN dramas. He really had less than a day to enjoy that superstardom haha.

  • he gains more popularity m, but i don't see him any way near the A-list status unless he win best actor or nominated for best actor from it. higher rating doesn't make u an A list actor. just take an example from jo byeongkyu and kim saejong. they aren't A-listers even tho uncanny counter have high rating. same goes to kim junghyun in mr queen and many more. win a best actor award first, then you deserve an A list status

    • No, he hit A-list with HCCC. There were k-ent industry articles designating him as that during airing. I'll defer to k-ent's word here.

    • K-ent articles always hype up airing dramas with good ratings, they are paid to do that. Gong Yoo, Hyun Bin, Kim Soo Hyun, etc. are A listers and I wouldn't say Kim Seon Ho is at the same level as these guys with just one hit drama.

    • A-list for where? An alternate universe, perhaps? K-ent industry articles that mediaplay the heck out of everything is the gospel now? Hold on a sec while I lmfao. ???

      Seeing the way this peabrain gallery has been taking shots at people criticizing this dude, she must be one of his horny delulus trying to act like she's not a fan. Love, blow it out your ass and go tell your oppa's agency to stop scrambling about like headless chickens and save his career.

    • Whatever I don't really care if he is truly considered A-list or not, my point is that his downfall is worse than Seo Yeji's because this guy is actually popular and well-liked in SK before this scandal happened. Seo Yeji was only popular among international drama fans. Anyways, the guy is trash and I hope his ex is in a better place now that she's at least exposed his good boy image as fake..

• Fact-checking is always a good move, but they could have release this statement yesterday. The best option for them is if the girl agrees to settle and not release anything else. If this dies down, the agency still needs to pay the penalty to all those CF brands, right? As for Kim Sun Ho, he really doesn't seem to have much option but to have thick-skin. I know he is a theater major, so this is his only choice for a living and he only recently shot to fame, so I don't think his finances are that strong.

• If I were Kim Seon-ho, I’d not reply to media and sue the the accuser straight away. I hope he didn’t sign an onerous contracts with the advertisers. Lesson learned for actor or public figures, don’t be trapped with commercialism and don’t endorse any products you don’t own.

  Vengeful and cancel culture should not be tolerated. A mistake can’t be fixed with another mistake but will create another disaster.

  • A mistake? If the accusations are true, that's hardly a mistake. It was instead a calculated decision that his contract was worth more to him than his partner and their (possible) child. That he has now quite likely ALSO lost the money he was trying to protect is not "vengeful", it's a reminder that actions have consequences.

    • If the accusations were true, the girlfriend does not have the right to destroy anyone and spread info in a malicious way.

      Kim Soen-ho is allegedly responsible to have caused her pain and should pay monetary equivalent for damages. On the other hand, the girlfriend is responsible for damaging KSH livelihood and she should be the monetary equivalent for that as well.

    • @misty eyes always tries to be diff .lol!!! The girl decided to post because he wasn't apologetic or remorseful. She needed an apology.
      Maybe if he wasn't such a dick ,there wouldn't have been a need to expose him.

    • Well in the kind of bubble you’re living in. This is an entertainment industry we are talking about.

      Better be these celebs have saved up alot of money and start suing people who’s destroying them.

      Apology, if she wants that, she should talk to him and not try to destroy someone’s livelihood. That itself is a crime. This is the ex gf crime whilst KSH is allegedly morally indebted to the exgf.

      With your narrow mindset, you may have difficulty understanding that.

  • Manipulating gf into an abortion is a """mistake""" acc to seonho's deranged fans lol

    • She clearly knew it was hard for her to get pregnant and she still went for an abortion and unlike kim jung Hyun who had depression even before meeting seoyejin, she is a perfectly fine human being... So if she went for an abortion she is equally responsible as him and there is no use of putting the entire blame on him... Also unlike seo ye jin no one else have come forward and said anything bad about kim seon ho or his bad behaviour... So we don't know if his ex gf is saying the complete truth...
      What if they did had a mutual abortion and she is trying to extort money from him and blackmailing him and when he refused she did this? If she was his gf and they had an abortion it's hard for him to prove that he didn't force her for an abortion as the abortion part is literally true...

    • Reading the full post of the girl, if what she said is true, he is really a terrible guy, not only about abortion but many other things

  • What mistake? He treated his girlfriend like trash and straight up lied and manipulated her to co-erce her into getting an abortion.

• Dang, that’s an even worse response than SYJ’s. If that’s what you’ll come up with, why not release it right after the news came out?! Lol the PR teams of these agencies are so incompetent.

  Anyway, thankfully the drama is done at least. It will cause everyone else associated to that drama less issues. He tho, is sooo guilty. They’re clearly looking for ways to pay off the girl. Whatever the outcome, I wish her all the best and this jerk everything he dreads.

  • SYJ's response is worse because that was gaslighting.

    • Gaslighting is a form of manipulation, something Kim Seonho is accused of doing as well. However, in a broader sense, what Seo Yeji has done is mental abuse.
