Kim Seon Ho’s ex-girlfriend scandal resurfaces as Kim Soo Hyun faces similar backlash

Fans are speculating whether Kim Soo Hyun will be able to restore his reputation, drawing parallels to Kim Seon Ho’s experience.

K-drama actor Kim Seon Ho, known for shows like Start-Up and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, was once embroiled in a controversy surrounding the scandal regarding the ill-treatment of an ex-girlfriend. The issue has resurfaced amid allegations of Kim Soo Hyun's similar misdemeanor towards Kim Sae Ron since she was a minor.

Fans are speculating whether Kim Soo Hyun will be able to restore his reputation, drawing parallels to Kim Seon Ho’s experience. In 2021, Kim Seon Ho faced severe backlash and took a hiatus from the industry after reports claimed he had pressured his ex-girlfriend into having an abortion. However, an investigation by K-media outlet Dispatch later disproved these allegations.

According to Dispatch, the actor ended the relationship upon learning of his ex-girlfriend’s infidelity. Now, as Kim Soo Hyun finds himself in a controversy, discussions are intensifying about whether he will manage to recover in the same way.

Adding to the controversy, Kim Soo Hyun is also under scrutiny for allegedly ignoring the late actress’s pleas for help when their shared agency suddenly demanded repayment of a 700 million KRW loan. As the situation escalates, serious questions are being raised about the future of his career.

Fans are also debating whether Kim Soo Hyun will be able to stage a comeback similar to The Childe actor Kim Seon Ho, who successfully revived his career after past controversies. The It’s Okay to Not Be Okay star is facing severe backlash following allegations of being romantically involved with Kim Sae Ron for six years, starting in 2015 when she was just 15 and he was 27.

Despite mounting public pressure, neither Kim Soo Hyun nor his agency, GOLDMEDALIST, has issued an official statement or taken legal action in response to these allegations. Fans and the media are closely watching for any clarification or response that could determine the actor’s fate in the industry.
