Dispatch Article Claims Kim Sun Ho’s Ex-girlfriend’s Behavior During the Relationship Contradicts Her Statement, K-netizens Don’t Buy it and Thinks its a Paid Hit Job

• So basically now that he re-signed with salt they decided to do their job and whitewash his image. Since when is Dispatch the most reliable source of information? This saga is going to be a long one.

  • Since when was dispatch not a reliable source? They might have been sneaky and unethical at times but they give out real news with proves majority of the time... There is a reason why they get so much importance and the celebs hide from them...
    Most of the dating news they have outed were real and in this case they came out with more than enough proves... There is even testimonies from miss A's friends as well...

    • regarding the relationship from dispatch to other agency, isn't the truth is still the truth regardless of the connection?
      if they reported the truth, as in dating couple, the methods in unethical but it's the truth,
      I agree that dispatch is reliable and I don't get why people will discredit truth because the tabloid is sketchy

    • Dispatch is not always a reliable source, though. During Kim Yewon vs Lee Taeim fight, Dispatch sided with Yewon and released "transcript" of what allegedly happened. But then someone leaked the video of the confrontation and turns out Dispatch lied and they ended up apologizing to the public lol.

  • Dispatch is in bed with all the entertainment agencies. This was obviously straight from his agency.

• how is abortion such a bad thing for clearly both parties who dont want the kid koala ?

  • It's bad to South Koreans is all. It's highly frowned upon there. So as an entertainer Kim Sun Ho is judged according to the standards held by that societal group.

    It may seem unfair or overly judgmental, but he earned a living from getting the public to like him. He's not an accountant doing taxes where his clientele wouldn't care about his personal life, unfortunately you live by the sword, die by the sword.

    That's why I think it's CRAZY for anyone to want to be a star in many conservative countries because one wrong misstep and you're kinda done. Everyone should go be accountants. :-)

    • It's not considered bad in South Korea by younger generation... Sk is facing a vast decrease in marriages and child population since the adult population don't give importance to raising a family but that doesn't mean they aren't having sex... So obviously there will be unwanted pregnancy and abortions happening as well... Also abortion is legal in sk...
      Sk is going the japanese way when it comes to their population...

    • You just dont know what youre talking about koala, you dont know sk. i am not a fan of ksh but u just seemed a ajudge of characters eh, so disappointing reading your story.

  • I was thinking the same thing and considering that she alcoholic from the articles I read don’t think it was a great idea. I got the feeling that both were NOT ready and both agree for the abortion

  • It's weird part for me cause it's frown upon but also her body, it's not ksh that undergo the procedure.

    If she insisted or she is agreeing, isn't his opinion worth less regarding this?

  • I read on soompi forum KSH is a Catholic. That just makes his character even more lousy.

    • Joint decision to terminate the pregnancy. All the religious nerds come out now ?

  • is there sex education in SK school system? is condom very expensive? Goosh!

• I feel that the statement that he is happy with the baby and mutually agreed on abortion is the key. He is not such an inhuman bastard as she was telling people and she sets him up to destroyed her image.

  Not his fan as disclaimer but this she said he said fiesta. The truth is they did the abortion and whether you agreed on the topic or not, they personally choose that and had discussed while being there.
  The other truth is that miss A doesn't seem as trustworthy cause in her original post, he was a character with no redeemable aspect yet she has send him letter apologize about how she cheats on him. She didn't say that part.

  • Destroyed *his image

• I am glad the majority of K-netz can see through this. He and his agency are so dirty to use her name in the article. It's obviously a planted article by his agency. It's a lot of deflecting, distraction, vagueness and trying to paint him as an angel whilst demonising the woman for unrelated things (omg she's a divorcee! Omg she liked luxury items like most Korean women?)

  Anyway, so according to this transparent hit piece he was the best boyfriend ever and she was just a hussy who got lucky but did he or did he not lie to coerce her into having an abortion she didn't want? Did he or did he not insist on having unprotected sex? Did he or did he not even have the balls to go with her and hold her hand when she aborted their baby? But he bought seaweed soup so I guess she should just be grateful lmao!

  Pity for the ex-girlfriend that she can't refute this narrative now as I suspect her statement accepting his apology was bought for $$$ in exchange for silence and no further revelations or evidence.

  Anyway, we know his desperate fans will buy this crap. He is a man so he won't be cancelled and I expect we will see him and his terrible rhinoplasty back on screens next year.

  • the article shows that she in as untrustworthy as any other, she lied and cheating on him, asked for his forgiveness. Who even knows what goes in bedroom talk?
    She did pay and care for her, different with her claim that he just abandoned her after the abortion,
    if you don't believe this article because it sounds like dirt play, what do you think about her dirt play of tanking his image and then said "it was a misunderstanding"

    I remember one comment here said that she wants to marry him but they broke up so this is her revenge and last attempt to get him but the dude just give up on her.

    She said, he said, she said she has proof of the coax, gaslight and abuse, now she needs to show that cause what she did is talk and talk,

    before you call me his fan, this show reminds of Ahn Jae Hyun where he was vilified for stuff that he didn't even said.

    • @melon: She never said he abandoned her after the abortion. Just that he changed gradually. If she just wanted to get revenge she could have released this when his drama was airing to really screw him over. I already said in my previous post her statement after his apology was paid for by the agency. The agency will have given her a settlement for the statement and to keep quiet so she cannot defend herself now and we won't hear anything more from her.

      Anyway, I don't believe him a 100% or her 100% as relationships can be complex and messy but cheating is not the issue. The only things that matter are: did he lie to her to make her get the abortion? It seems he did lie as he has yet to address this. Did he insist on having unprotected sex? Again he does not address this. Did he leave her alone to get the abortion. Yes, he did (and, no, sending his friend is never an acceptable substitution. If he was man enough to get a woman pregnant and insist on an abortion then he had better be man enough to go with her for the procedure)

    • @sunny, the drama will sure sue her for damaging the drama too, doesn't want to risk that possibility , especially when you also put many lied inside it
      her timing was perfect to destroy him and protect herself

  • Bingo!! People are now treating dispatch as gospel of truth but those same ones didn't trust them when they exposed seo yeaji. The double standards lol!..
    Anyways it was very clever of dispatch when they highlighted some points related to the woman. They wanted to give viewers an unfavourable impression of hers.
    Dispatch gets paid by the companies, sometimes their proofs are true and sometimes aren't like it happened with bully park hye su. So i will wait to hear from the girl's side. I can already see oppalogists seething but thank god knetz aren't buying this bs yet

  • According to her post she was the best girlfriend ever and he was the worst human being to ever walk on earth... His side atleast came with proves that says he atleast wasn't as bad as she portrayed him to be...
    What about her? She just simply made some claims through an annonymous post and put a pixel photo of one of his famous photos that anyone can recognise...
    Even if this is planted by him and his agency he has every right to do so...

    • The ones who exposed KSH identity were actually the reporters by using his photos in their articles. A post in Pann was actually a blind item she didn’t name KSH, Dispatch did dirty by exposing her identity

    • @kiko she already put a pixel pic of ksh's famous picture and enough information to guess who he is... Dispatch is the only media that deleted their post on the 2nd day itself and everyone found it fishy and now everyone knows why...
      The youtuber who revealed ksh's name also said whatever the ex said was not the complete truth and she herself is a shaddy person and he was right with everything he said...

    • Rjpv u seem like his fantard. She didn't put any pic of him. It was a blind item.

    • @anon and you seem like those retarded woman who blindly belives miss A simply because you love to hate ksh or just men in general...

• I read the Dispatch article from koreaboo earlier and just now read koala's version. And wow. I noticed how something can be twisted to the writer's favor and in this case by adding all the negative comments make it really bad for KSH. If I haven't read the whole article by dispatch earlier and just read this...i will have a completely different perspective.

  • omg i agree.. i am shocked at how bad koala wrote it here for ksh n puts all the negative comments.. what about all the good supportive comments ppl wrote? Why only the bad

    • It’s because Knetz comments are generally not siding KSH there hardly comments siding with him after the Dispatch post. So Koala is not wrong in sharing the comments, the gen public sentiment they don’t buy Dispatch reveal

  • Agree.. just don't read this Dispatch news from here. Read it in Koreaboo or Soompi. They translate much better than here. This is her blog anyway, she can write what she wants.

    • LOL just look at the Twitter replies to the article.

      The international fans reaction: omg, this clears him. He is still a good boy! (No joke this is what is being written)

      Actual kfans: unimpressed and don't buy the hatchet job by Dispatch which was cleary paid to present this 'other' side making KSH look like the angel boyfriend who make his girlfriend soup which apparently negates any wrongdoing on his part. Im inclined to agree with Kfans on this.

    • If you want to see knet reaction, go to netizenbuzz.

  • Just checked on Soompi because of you, thanks, totally place a different perception

  • Yesss completely different perspective. Koala wrote too much negative sentiment

  • Koala is anti-KSH. lol

    • Been anti-KSH since Startup ?

    • Agreed. Not liking her comments.... But koala is the boss here.... Ha ha ha

    • Are you...joking? Koala is anti KSH? I remember her loving his character in Start Up. And she's writing an article on how the KOREAN and CHINESE public is reacting. We all know how the international fans feel. To I-fans, the Dispatch article absolves KSH. And Koala even mentions this in her article. Do many of you not know how to read??

      I feel like Koala wrote this article in response to all the International fans reacting that KSH is not guilty. To the many Korean eyes, he's still scum. Just because i-fans forgive him doesn't mean that Koreans do. I can't believe I had to write a whole damn post about what the purpose of this article was about because people lack comprehension skills!

  • Yeah exactly if possible check from netizen buzz, they also translate news and you can see 1000+ votes for comments like what if kim seon ho was being treated by his agency this way since his star power was rising and he wanted to change his agency? Like for sure Salt published a report pretty early on refuting this news that they are trying to damage his image.
    If this is really the case then it 8s quite scary indeed. But in any case she isn't as innocent as she claimed first I think.

  • @Riri Koala is obviously not a partial commentator from the way she has been reporting on this news. Latest being this blatant attempt at hiding the ex-gf's identity when her name is already all over the media and of course filtering of k- and c-nets comments to discredit the Dispatch article.
    Sounds like Koala bought into KSHs good boy image and feels extremely slighted just like the vindictive ex.

    • What can i say more this is koalas, smh here eh...

• Korean male actors always have the upper hand, so i will wait for further details. Kim seonho 's side is so clever. Unlike other companies they didn't threaten to sue the victim but instead paid dispatch to release their side after his lame ass apology.
  Do u all remember jung joon young? He literally won the case against his ex who first exposed him. His fans cursed at the woman and embraced him with open arms. Lol look at who's in the jail now.
  Not saying ksh is as bad as jjy but it's clear how much male celebs hold power over their non- celeb partners. Take lee byung hun and his german ex gf for example whom he assaulted, forced to get an abortion and then abandoned.

  Also, don't compare kim seon ho with ahn jae hyun . gu hye sun is a famous actress, she held more power than him in the industry.

• So many talented and handsome korean actors and plastic monster abortion ajushi's stans are fixated on this trash and buying into his agency's hit piece. Men will get away with anything in that society.

• Miss A's self-styled feminist supporters are going to be so triggered. After all the whitewashing that she was a naive little girl who was gaslighted. Strange how a 35yr old woman with weak uterus was having unprotected sex with her bf of 4 mths, what were the chances of them getting married when that would probably ruin his rising career? She was reportedly drinking during the pregnancy, not exactly model mum material. Her hasty retreat once her identity was exposed also didnt add to her credibility.
  Not that this excused KSHs part in the abortion, he should not have unprotected sex if he wasnt ready to settle down. He paid the price when his toxic ex-gf sought revenge.

  • The amount of man hating here is astronishing... Even if this one is paid, he and his team came up with solid proves to back up his claims unlike miss A who wrote anything and everything like a crazy woman's rant... There is solid proves that she constantly lied in their relationship and her own friends took ksh's side...
    Dispatch's article seems to be a well researched one rather than shooting in the dark... But some people like to believe what's written by miss A and portray her as a damsel in distress solely because they hate ksh... It's either because they hated his sudden rise to stardom or they just simply hate men...

    • @rjpv some of the Miss A supporters are probably the same pitchfork mob who backed Amber Heard but ended up with eggs on their faces.
      Just because the accuser is a fellow female doesnt mean that we should take her words as the gospel truth and start lynching before any solid evidence is on the table. There were holes in her story right from the start but Miss A's stans were too busy flashing their feminist credentials, you can't see what you refuse to see. No doubt if Miss A fails to defend herself after Dispatch's report, they will start conspiracy theories that she was coerced into silence.

  • Well KSH apologized and didn’t deny all the allegations at the time, the most sane thing to do was believe the victim?? And what does her age has to do with her not being manipulated and less of a victim before all of these revelations by Dispatch? By that logic escort girls cannot be a rape victim then? You’re weird for using this as a gotcha moment on the people who chose to side with the alleged victim first. Don’t lump it under misandry or faulty use of feminism. And opinions can change when presented with new info, which Dispatch did just today

    • My bad, should be "not an impartial commentator".
      I suppose if this were some anonymous person claiming to be say Suzy's bf, accusing her of having an abortion behind his back despite knowing that he won't be able to father any children due to his medical issues, then Suzy should be cancelled instantly if she doesn't respond immediately to his allegations or refute his points one by one? No waiting for evidence to surface before drawing a conclusion as one would have missed the prime period to virtue signal, oops should be support the victim. After all we know that everything posted online must be true, Suzy falsely positioned herself as an organic product when she was merely a regular one, so she deserved to be dragged.
      No wonder the suicide rate amongst Korean celebs is so high as the public is so toxic.

• Probably better for KSH's mental health in the long run to not be labelled "the good boy" anymore. It can be suffocating to always try to be perfect and nice. Now he can concentrate on being an actor and take on whatever roles he'd like to take. Sure, lost opportunity for ads (except maybe for contraception lol), but as long as he can still make movies and dramas, act in theater, I think he'll be fine.

  • Absolutely. I don't even know who started that, his fans or his agency? I think it was after Start-up because Granny kept calling Ji Pyeong a "good boy". But to take a character trait and associate it to the actor playing the character was both nonsensical and also a very slippery slope.

    I also worry about many actors dubbed "Nation's son-in-law", "Nation's grandson", "Humble", "Respectful", as if each isn't a normal man with a distinct personality that will like have positive AND negative traits.

    That's why in South Korea, it's very exhausting to be a television (Yeouido) (drama/variety) star because they need a good image.

    Movie stars (Chungmuro) have much greater leeway to just "I don't give two f*&ks" and be themselves. Case in point Jeon Jong Seo, Kim Min Hee, Yoo Ah In (he doesn't do many CFs hence he's not selling an image), Kang Dong Won, etc. Movie stars tend to be judged solely on their ability to act. I sense it's because television stars are beamed into the household everyday whereas going to see a movie feels like it's stepping out of reality somewhat.

    • This! Some people wonder why some stars don't have more cfs and its soley because they don't want to be tied down to an image and forced to retract when they don't fit that image. This obsession with celeb based advertising in SK is more excessive than most countries to begin with. Most serious actors and actresses don't care about endorsements because while it pays more it doesn't help their career grow. JJH for example is heavily criticized for the sheer amount of endorsements she has which why her image as an actual actor is non existent same with SHK and KTH. While SYJ only has a handful of cfs but dominates as a top actress and her skills are without question. Even Suzy has reduced her endorsements to only 2-3 luxury endorsements in order to be taken more seriously as an actress. Actors first priority should be to focus on their acting and not image making for the sake of gaining more cfs. KSH was pulling almost 13-14 cfs based off the good boy image so of course the damage is huge. Its only sad because he is a solidly good actor and if had just coasted on his acting instead of his image he would have been fine. Him being a not so great or pure human being would have come as no surprise to people if he wasn't so hellbent on selling that image over his acting.

    • Jeon Jeong Seo walking away with every single best actress award for Call despite being the villain and second billed actress while Park Shin Hye isn't even acknowledged just goes to show that its better to have your acting speak for you than your image. Admittedly Park Shin Hye could never be as good as Jeon Jeong Seo and her agency SALT knows that and sells her girl next door image instead which gains her more endorsements but no challenging roles or real acknowledgment as an actress which is why her acting ability never grows. They made the mistake of doing that with Kim Sun Ho by focusing on selling his image and not his acting when he didn't have the personality to back up that image in the long run. His acting would have gotten him critical acclaim unlike Park Shin Hye but they messed up by using the same tactics they used on her for him. Even now they're focusing on forcefully rehabilitating that 'Good Boy' image instead of letting him rebuild his career as an actor.

    • the agency I think. salt clean up his image the moment they signed him in 2018/2019. His style before salt/theatre days were so different. Then start up and 2D1N happened. He seems like a polite person in 2D1N and that seal it. now that I lose that rose tinted glasses (lol) it feel like they marketed him like an idol instead of an actor. maybe they try to market him as a hallyu star like psh? idk

    • I agree with the comments on this thread and this is why actors and actresses who focus too much on endorsements and cfs are hard to take seriously. I don't even know why fans always brag about so and so star having many endorsements. What's the big deal about being a cf celebrity? They'll never make it as actual actors because they'll be too busy maintaining their image. Let the idols have all the cfs since their music career is short lived anyways. Actors should be known for the number of prestigious awards they win or their critical acclaim not how many endorsements they have on bank. His Stan's were hyping his long list cfs more than his acting and this is the consequence. Popularity awards are meaningless and don't prove anything except a rabid fandom. Actors don't nees rabid fandoms only Hallyu stars need that to stay relevant.

    • Well K-ent isn’t like Hollywood where the actors earn so much on box office revenues and are just generally paid well. Korean actors’ earnings are from CF contracts though acting is their main job. Even the Chungmuro top stars have CFs except maybe Song Kangho and Choi Minsik. We don’t even know how much is the pay per episode of non-A listers, they’re probably paid peanuts

    • All of this comment thread.

      When it comes to actors, the most relevant thing to discuss should be their acting. This is why I am always bemused when I see fans touting things like number of CF deals, food trucks, popularity awards, magazine editorials, god/goddess-like visuals, show ratings, etc. All those things are irrelevant and secondary to acting ability. I feel like people trot those stats out when the person's acting is nothing to write home about.

      KSH's case is perfect example of relying too much on "celebrity" rather than acting ability to build fame. You live by public opinion, you die by public opinion, and public opinion is a fickle beast.

    • @Q First of all the West is not a standard for anything. In most countries actors and actresses don't rely heavily on endorsements to "supplement" their earnings nor do they get paid "well" by Hollywood standard like you're suggesting. Any real actor will say their craft comes before pay and an artist doesn't act for the pay cheque but the recognition. South Korea hasn't cultivated this culture of CF reliance it's the agencies who want a bigger pay cut who cultivated this culture and hence forced celebs to live with fake images and then made them apologize everytime the image collapsed without taking any responsibility for their part in this brand marketing. Top level movie stars barely have any endorsements and those brands evolved to fit their image and not vice versa. Celebs that need to mould their image to fit the brand don't have anything other than their image to sell. KSH did not need 14 endorsements nor is it something to brag about. 1-2 endorsements is enough to supplement their income and even then it's unnecessary to have their face planted everywhere. They can do 1 photo campaign a year and 1 video campaign every 2 years. It's enough because their acting will drive their careers. This is the most sane thread on this topic and people finally need to realize endorsements, popularity awards, coffee trucks etc don't mean anything unless you want your fave to only be a shallow celebrity.

    • I agree with the whole sentiment and it’s pathetic to brag about them as a fan, I’m just saying why these actors take multiple CFs, they earn way more from them than the actual work lol it’s pretty naive to think they are there solely for the passion of acting, only a few actually feel that way, for example the two actors I mentioned

    • Having 14 endorsements really was excessive but someone rising up like KSH does what their agency says, I imagine, and then gets caught up in the celebrity. It's a shame because he is a good actor and could have made the jump to Chungmuro. I'm glad my faves are older and past the endorsement stage.

• Yea, I read the translation at different source and now reading this I also feel different vibes. The source also states two of her friends also stood up for KSH and also said it was KSH who paid almost everything.. She, koala, overall is just a person adding her own story version and sentiment.
  After reading her apologize statement, I can tell she is not that innocent, calculating every move and truly knows how to manipulate the media into her favors.
  Having reading and following some dispatch news up to today, I can tell their source always released at the most critical moment but is not entirely nonsensical.
  Look at Seo Yeo Ji scandal and also Tara bullying scandal, and the most recent crazy Nasty divorce between AHK and GHS, was it the truth revealed by Dispatch??
