The scandal cycle is on the down parabola now for k-actor Kim Sun Ho. He went from career high on Monday morning with the weekend completion of Hometown Cha Cha Cha, which finished with ratings breaking 12% and the drama as a whole ranking 12th on the list of highest rated tvN dramas of all time, to career freefall starting Monday afternoon with the post by his ex-girlfriend that detailed an Actor K who behaved terribly when they dated and also was an actor with a bad personality the opposite of his good boy image onscreen. A Youtuber revealed that Actor K was Kim Sun Ho and then his agency went radio silent for nearly a day before putting out a weak statement about checking on the facts, and then another day went by before Kim Sun Ho released a statement accepting responsibility, apologizing to his ex-girlfriend, and apologizing to his fans and coworkers and everyone harmed by his misbehavior. He was dropped from every single brand CF, which started within hours of the scandal even before he admitted it was him, and his three upcoming movies also let him go from the production. He was also removed as a cast member of variety show 1D2N.
Now his ex-girlfriend has updated her post with a short statement that she received Kim Sun Ho’s apology, and they were once truly in love with each other. She did not intend for her post to cause this harm and there were misunderstandings between them. She will remove the post shortly. Her lawyer also released a statement to the press that they will be taking legal action against any media and K-netizen that is spreading her name and image around, as she’s been doxxed and there has been discussion, commentary, and criticism of her based on her age, past relationship experience, and profession. This new statement doesn’t change the fact that Kim Sun Ho admitted to her first statement but it does show that she probably posted it in true anger and fury and once the fallout happened to him she regretted it because it’s very common for a person who once truly loved another to be caught between making that person take responsibility but also it hurts to see that person suffer. At the end of the day, Kim Sun Ho’s scandal in terms of his misconduct, misbehavior, or poor real life personality, is probably not even close to what some actors/actresses have done that the public doesn’t know about. The fallout is especially fast and harsh for him because of how much he’s risen solely on his Good Boy image, without that perhaps there could be wiggle room for him to gain some understanding.

You are truly naive if you don't think she knew what she was doing. I'm guessing some money has changed hands.
Exactly. Either he was able to meet with her in person, or they settled things in private before matters get worse. She herself is a wealthy woman, so money isn't the issue here. As for her statement, it's best to leave any future words to her lawyers. Also, she didn't negate what he did to her, only said she felt bad that this affected other people. He still admitted to his mistakes. Someone who knows the two of them posted that on Oct 25, they will reveal an objective view on this story. That'll only make matters worse.
You can never have enough money. The backlash against her for playing out this private quarrel in public is going to be brutal though - I wonder if, a few years from now, she’d think it was all worth it.
Ikr??? Because his fans already celebrating her apology, as if he is innocent. I expect him to comeback in few years, ew
This is not somethinf one should lose career to. U all act like he pulled a kim hyun joong or something. People her3 all r saints lmak
That woman wanted to pressurize him into marrying her, but it backfired. He lost his career and she lost any chance of getting married to him. If she had done talk in private, things would've been different. He has became such a star, with millions coming in. He is no saint but she is not some angel u all make her to be. Not ksh but no man will date her as her identity is out as 37 years old divorced woman. She ruined his career but ruined her chances of any lpve lofe after this. But go on supporting the angel lmao
Couldnt agree more.. both are wrong.. they should have done this privately bt now it becomes international hot issue..
And u all who love to jump on me. Every divorced woman regardless of age has right to find love , get pregnant and get married. But in conservative society, chances are less anyways and most men will like to stay away after this. Bcoz of the way she handled things. U r delusionak if u think she is happy single woman. She wanted a marriage and whole thing turned out to be something else in end. And now her chances of marriage has been ruined forever. Western values in below ppsts dont work here
Lmao have u seen what she looks like? She surely will land man easily with that face and body
She will land toyboys. Younger rich men will go for dumb girls. Not for her and after this they know she can go nuts. She will get toyboys not successful men anymore
That woman is only 5 months older than him (born on Dec 1985) . have you even seen her? She is pretty
rich , and has a career. Infact it's kim seon ho who is on his way to bankruptcy after paying all the penalty fee . Why would she want to marry him when she cam het any other guy.
Reread again. No successful rich man gonna fall for her. She can get a toyboy who marries for her money. Men who r successful wont come near women who has issues and can ruin marriage n family
The gold digger isnt getting any rich man anytime. Only toyboys. No sane successful man will marry such women . Its not west
Someone notify me when we get to the season finale of this circus show.
@peanut gallery - I stand by my earlier statement that he sounds like an a-hole and a coward but that isn't criminal and frankly wouldn't have become such an issue if it hadn't been for him actively pursuing and promoting this particular type of fake image as part of his job. That particular aspect of this mess is of his own making.
I agree. If we had to isolate the backlash, it really comes down to the discrepancy between his public image that he sold and what he is truly like. If he was selling a bad boy image from the get go it wouldn't be this bad.
I think he would have gotten backlash if he was a Western celebrity too. Taylor Swift got universal backlash and almost cancelled several years ago when she was exposed for being a snake and not actually an angelic angel. People don't like feeling scammed and that is the crux of it.
Smart woman. Did what she wanted and got her revenge on him, but also warping it up fast on her part to not drag it more than necessary. The way his fans spreading like fire rumors about her, creating lies, calling her names and also turning “old divorcée” into argument is such a blind case of women on women misogyny it’s just sad. Other people saying “it’s just between them” while ignoring that her health was damaged in the process, that he lied and giving “abortion” as weapon for men to avoid responsibility. A+ feminism.
Distorted view of feminism.
always blaming all on man even when she is also in the wrong.
Yeah, well expected reactions from women internalized misogyny. All to protect a man, even when point is he did what he did. I just wonder if woman was someone with actual fanbase how all that “but woman is at wrong too and distorted view on feminism” will be going on about this lol
A++ misandry if you think women are infallible simply because they’re women. Something tells me you’d feel differently if KSH were your brother or cousin but as it is, you feel free to sacrifice him on the altar of your fake feminism from behind the privacy of an internet screen. And no, not a stan.
Sis should have stuck to her guns. You cannot go public and then backtrack once you get scared of the backlash. The backlash is inevitable, and now it will only get worse because backtracking gives those people attacking her more ammunition.
Now we got their friend/acquaintance running off to snitch to the tabloids on top of everything? What a clown town.
Her going public then backtracking does way more damage and discourages other women from coming forwards, than if sis had just stayed silent. Now people are going to use her as an example to not believe women and attack future accusers.
Either be all in or stay silent. Half assing this is the worst.
When did she backtrack moron?
Fonts like you @Helen lack reading and comprehension skills. But figures given the stuff you endlessly bark about.
But, she did not backtrack anything. She is only apologizing for the harm caused by her revelations. Further, KSH already apologized. Meaning, all allegations are true.
Yes…that is backtracking. She was adamant about exposing him and now once she did and the inevitable backlash occurs, she says she didn’t mean for the exposition to get this bad and regrets it.
Allegations are still true but that fact is buried now.
Wait what does it means by there were misunderstanding between them. Abortion or marriage promises didn't happen because there is misunderstanding, it's not like a booking order. You book the wrong date and places but the events still happens.
I feel weird reading her statement. I mean, you know this gonna happen, you know how career crash and burn, it's not like you said this to your friends and your friends sell the story to the media. You made arrangements with a reporter. This is what should happen yet you think this is too harsh and there were misunderstanding?
Lmao. As if an apology will fix anything. If she was only wanting an apology, she should've asked to meet him in private or something. She knew what she was doing. She was out for revenge. He was not ready to be a father. Boo fn hoo! So what?! Many girls get lied to by guys all the time and vice versa. Quit putting korean celebrities on a pedestal and worshipping them! They are humans just like the rest of us! Like y'all are so perfect!
They get both the consequences... They both did wrong. That's human nature. act based on emotional driven, and regret afterward. at the end of the day, you will regret what you did.
She didn’t regret exposing him, because she got what she wanted, an apology. She apologizes to people who were somewhat involved in the process ( the incidents she mentioned but ofc she didn’t mention names). She didn’t retract what she said, she just said she will delete the posted journal bec HE ALRDY apologized. She got lawyers to represent her in case there are netizens who maliciously spread misinformation and rumors, imagine that she can sue but ksh can’t? Why? Bec she has grounds to sue, and ksh doesn’t. and no, don’t put blame on her… she has a right to share what she experienced.
Well i'm not suprised how his ex-gf suddenly deleted her statement, this guy already manipulated her once for his own gain now she's being used again tsk tsk i pity her she will be constantly mock by his delulu fans he gained new sympathy when he had wretch personality bet his coming back next yr no canceled culture for him.
She never said the accusations were false so why are some people acting as if she said that? She only apologized for causing trouble for other people but only because Seonho admitted his wrongdoings and apologized to her personally. Possible that money was also exchanged but a settlement is only fair after her suffering. Whether or not the person is vicious and had ill intentions does not mean they didn't suffer or feel hurt both physical and mental. She has a right to demand an apology from him irrespective.
They wanna save KSH's career. LOL, these fantards.
Being western celebrity is much better lmao. U can live life unless u pull off dixie chicks or bash country , john lenon jesus scandal, anti national thing or janet jackson on national tv ( in 2021, noone will care ) or straight our paedophile like MJ
Korean people have some weird standards. Even i am from asia, but celebs wont lost career over this scandal. Ksh better saved money to open some business or something.
