K-ent Snaps Kim Sun Ho at the Airport Returning From Thailand Filming of Sad Tropics

The return of K-actor Kim Sun Ho to his entertaining acting career is not a question of if but when, and it appears the first steps are being taken. This week he was snapped by K-ent and with lots of fans waiting for him at Incheon Airport for his return to South Korea after an extended stay in Thailand filming the movie Sad Tropics. Of all his lined up movies, this was the only one to go forward with him still as a cast member after his scandal with his ex-girlfriend’s pregnancy and abortion back in October of 2021. She alleged he was a bad boyfriend, he apologized, then Dispatch went on a tear and released tons of text messages and interviews with her alleged friends and his friends to portray her as conniving and the allegations not what she claimed. In the end his reputation took a hit still as some did not believe the Dispatch counter-attack while others believed that exonerated him. In the case of he said-she said it seems apropos, but what she said about him even if fully true just made him seem focused on his budding career and a bad boyfriend, nothing that should tank his career. So this slow step return feels like it would have happened anyways and now I’m curious to see which direction he takes – it was as romantic leading man before the scandal but he could go the way of a Yoo Ah In and do diverse, indie, or serious fare and eschew the “good boy” vanilla leading man route.

  • Not a fan of him, but for me, it's as simple as if the actor/actress in question didn't really commit a crime, then I don't give a hoot about their personal lives.
    I do understand tho that the issue here for koreans is that he had a “good boy” image, that's why they felt betrayed. I get that.
    But for me personally, I just assume that all celebs' public image is just that, an image, not really their real personality, so I wouldn't be disappointed if a celeb gets “exposed” or whatever, again, unless they committed a crime lol
    So I say good for him for coming back.
    Also, saw on my feed that the fans prepared a birthday ad or something on thailand for him. I think that's really sweet and I admire the dedication of his fans lol wish my fave has that kind of dedicated fanbase too

    • my exact sentiments too. same with syj, wouldn't have cared about her personal life but it crossed the line for me when she ruined a drama production and endangered kjw's life. seonho did neither so whatever, good for him

    • LMAO The twitter feminists are coming for you soon for daring to give nuance to the situation ?

  • Didn't he just recently topped the poll on which male celebs koreans want to be with on black day or something like that over freaking yoo jae suk? He's definitely still popular in korea and casting directors can't just ignore that ?‍♀️

  • It's the smelling hypocrisy in the comments, why should one expect even better, it's after all a man's world. In other news people would come back especially when they work very hard and are just trying to do their job.
    Seems one is right never to take this comments seriously

    • It's a man's world? Lmao Seo ye ji has an upcoming drama after being exposed as the psych* she is and ruining a production
      LOL Don't even pull that stupid feminism card ?
      Sorry not everyone is itching to cancel people for their personal life drama like you overly woke people ?‍♀️
      Bet you were expecting negative comments huh ?
      Well most people are sane and can separate the artist from their personal life. Cry more ?

    • Aaand here's the twitter feminist I'm talking about ?
      What hypocrisy? Hypocrisy over what?
      And “it's a man's world”? Lmao Seo ye ji has an upcoming drama even after being exposed as the psyc** she is and ruining a production
      LOL Don't even pull that st*pid feminism card ?
      Sorry not everyone is itching to cancel people for their personal life drama like you overly woke people ?‍♀️
      Bet you were expecting negative comments huh ?
      Well most people are sane and can separate the artist from their personal life. Cry more ?

      • "This is a man's world but it would be nothing , nothing without a woman or a girl "! . For Seo Ye Ji i will say ' Every breath you take " ( the song is about stalking ) I don't care about their private life but SYJ did not separate privacy and work . That was her wrong .

      • @cahill exactly. Literally couldn't care less about her personal life. in fact I don't care about any of celebs personal lives but she affected a production, and like the comment above said, endangered another actor's life, and that's where it stopped being "personal" lol
        Funny how feminists like in these comments section are still defending her lmao
        Meanwhile whatever drama KSH has in his personal life at least he didn't affect any production. THAT'S the difference

      • @Jo Bold of you to assume he's my "oppar" just because I'm sick of you all feminists double standards lmao
        What other predictable words you're going to use next, "Oppalogist" or "internalized misogyny" LMAO You all so predictable haha
        And whatever you say, at least KSH still popular and winning polls unlike your SYJ who is FINISHED LOL

      • Mmm keep clowning for your oppar. Seo Yeaji doesn't need jobless losers to spam random polls for her. Her talent speaks for itself. Internalized misogyny indeed, glad u brought that up. So funny to see u caping for that has been. Keep up the good work. You're really owning the feminists rn lmao

      • @Jo Blah blah blah Go back to twitter and keep worshipping that psy***
        LMAO "can act" my foot, she was literally just playing her psyc** self in IONTBO, not that hard to do ?

      • I really like both of them so kinda sucks seeing two fandoms fighting. IDK for me they both deserve second chances ?
        waiting for their comebacks and wishing them both the best

      • @SomeRando
        Sounds more like you're the only one worshipping a psych* here. I get that defending ur oppar gets u through the day but stop foaming like a deranged maniac at the ~feminists~ & get some help

  • There are new actors with exploding popularity who came after him and Seonho brings nothing new in terms of acting, his age range is filled with actors more popular and talented than him, his image that separated him from others turned out to be a fluke, he is still popular within his rabid fandom, but in a year he will be forgotten by the general public and even looking at his current situation he will never be able to achieve what he had just haf a year ago.

  • Me alegra mucho, ojalá y regrese pronto, mi abuela y yo hemos visto hometown chá chá chá, estamos esperando otros proyecto de Seon Ho. Por ahora solemos ver otros dramas y programas dónde aparece Seon Ho. Queremos mucho a Seon Ho nos ha dado muchas alegrías, la experiencia linda que comparto con mi abuela y nos ha metido en este mundo de K-dramas. ?

  • Don't care about his personal drama but as an actor he's nothing special. He only lucked into getting himself a rabid fanbase bcs of that boring second lead role. He can't act and it'll become pretty apparent in his future roles now that he can't sell his "good boy" shtick anymore

  • Hmm... For me the only ones who really deserve cancellation are people like seungri, yoochun, etc.
    Maybe unpopular opinion on this blog but I wouldn't mind KSH or any of the other cancelled stars (YEH, KJH, SYJ, Jisoo, JBG) coming back again. everyone deserves a second chance as long as they didn't do anything illegal and can change for the better
