Kim Sun Ho Does Not Renew with Long Time Agency Salt Entertainment and Signs with HighZium

Next year in 2025 is likely the year with Kim Sun Ho makes a full comeback. He’s had good success in movies but next year he will be in a rom-com with Go Yoon Jung written by the Hong Sisters. Heading into next year he’s making a big change by signing with a new agency. He’s not going to re-sign with Salt Entertainment, which to their credit helped him achieve his first big break with Start-Up and then Hometown Cha Cha Cha, and also stuck with him during his near cancelling. He’s now signed with HighZium Studios and will join the same agency as Song Joong Ki and Kim Ji Won. I still find him very talented and think the re-alignment of his career from that “good boy” image his fandom pushed to just a talented leading man will serve him well for the long run.

  • I agree about how pushing away the “good boy" image will serve him well in the long run. Without that image, he can take on meatier roles, maybe even villain roles, and expand his range. There will also be lower expectations from him to be this perfect “green flag” guy. Anyway, I don't really care about his private life, all I care about is that he's a talented actor and what he does in his private life doesn't affect his job. That applies to other actors and actresses, as long as they're not committing any crime and that their private lives aren't affecting their ability to do their job as actors, they shouldn't get cancelled for whatever is happening in their personal lives 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • I'm pretty sure his agency was behind his "scandal". I'm happy he left them and impatient to watch him in a new drama.

  • Test comment. Why is the comment small of typing. The Font is not great either. Is there way, we can make the text/font bigger? Also, when reading the blog. The fonts is not great. I must be getting old as I can hardly read the comment and the blog right now.

  • The Fonts are not great. Is there a way to change the fonts to make it bigger or change the fonts?

  • He had a good run with Salt. Surprised he’s ditching them when they did a pretty decent job of weathering his scandal and also launching his career to lead status. Interested in seeing how smart of a move this will end up being.

    • I'm surprised too. I thought he would be loyal to them. SALT did a great job getting him to leading man status pre-sandal, supporting him through his scandal, not dropping him when other agencies would have and getting his career back on track.

      SJK's agency hasn't really done much for any of the actors except SJK and he was already a big star before he started agency. The actors are all doing fine in their careers but there no stars besides SJK and Kim Ji won who joined in in late 2022. Kim Ji Won did have Queen of Tears but she was offered that off the back of the success My Liberation Notes and was already in informal talks before she officially signed with Highzium in Dec 2022 so I wouldn't really credit this agency for that role. They have done a great job of getting her excellent endorsements post-QoT though.

  • I think he's a great actor. He was so psychotic yet funny in "The Childe". Like, he does creepy well besides being the good flower boy.

  • I noticed Kim Seon Ho and Song Joong Ki were very buddy buddy recently so no wonder he is moving to his agency. I wonder how they became friends?
