Not exactly about KSH, but it's an interesting look at cancel culture, which is really what this saga has been about.

 

Agreeing with the sentiments here though, that SALT is really incompetent. I hope they buck up for everyone's sake, including their own!

Wah @gilaswan that was a rather deep article with... fractions! What I gathered was... the author is old and about to be "cancelled" by nature so he was not worried about be "cancelled" by humans 😏 Before discovering forums and going onto socmed last year, I had not even heard of "cancel culture" and "ghosting". Learning a lot.

 

Salt, now referred to by some fans by its chemical formula NaCL 🤣 - I'm not sure if we can fully blame the company as KSH could have requested not to respond/provide details and they could be doing things behind the scenes that we are not aware of. But I do think that they could have handled the partners/advertisers more professionally. How can these brands be complaining that no one was contactable? As I have told my business partners too - if you want people to stop hounding you, the best way is to respond/pick up the call and manage their expectations. Avoiding/delaying it will only make things worse.

 

About the KSH saga, it looks like things are on the mend and he will be fine in due course. Aside from the actual event, the goings-on amongst the fans and others on twitter were also eye-openers.

 

Anyway, saw something funny on twitter so sharing it here. This thread needs some laughter!

Yep. In the 1st place this wasn't something that should have been made so public. Pity his family ( and also hers. Clearly she didn't think  about that)

 

 

[movingwheel]

@abs-oluteM yes this should not have come out at first place..... this was way tooo personal.... however she never thought that Dispatch will be this active.... and eventually it will be backfired on her itself....

However , he chose to maintain dignity and this is the reason he has once been reinstated....he could have gotten into clarifying his stand but no , he chose to accept that this has actually happenned.... right now, as a result , everyone found out what actually happenned.... after all messages were not wrong... and he did not outrightly rejected her at first place which means that his mind is at right place....

[gilaswan]

Truly the drama she wanted. It's really just dirty laundry. Truly dirty laundry. And there's no way he can return to 2D1N now even if it's all cleared up in his favour. I pity the 2D1N team.

 I had to think for a minute hahaha. Upgrade!

Kim Seon-ho, '2021 AAA' Popularity Award 2 crowns confirmed... Whether to attend the awards ceremony 

http://www.idsn.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=58610

 

With actor Kim Seon-ho winning two popularity awards at the '2021 Asia Artist Awards' (2021 Asian Artist Awards, herein after '2021 AAA'), the question of whether to attend the awards ceremony is growing.

 

The '2021 Asia Artist Awards', which will be held on December 2nd, is Korea's first integrated awards ceremony that combines actors and singers. 

 

Celebrating its 6th anniversary this year, the '2021 Asia Artist Awards' is the first integrated awards ceremony in Korea to award actors and singers together.

 

First of all, through the Japanese RET site and the Korean U + Idol Live application, the first vote was selected by the 15th in a total of 6 categories including male idol group / female idol group / male solo singer / female solo singer / male actor / female actor. .

 

Here, Kim Seon-ho received 1,787,702 votes in the male actor category of the 'RET Popularity Award' and took first place with a high rate of 44.3%.

 

In the 'RET Popularity Award' and 'U+Idol Live Popularity Award', the artist's popularity can be grasped as the winners are decided by 100% global fan voting.

 

Previously, while Seon-ho Kim was very popular with tvN's ' Village Cha-Cha-Cha', he got caught up in a controversy because of the content that his ex-lover A revealed to the online community. Things turned around when it was released.

 

Accordingly, there is a growing question about whether Kim Seon-ho, who won the Popularity Award, will attend the awards ceremony.

 

'2021 AAA' will be held as a non-face-to-face awards ceremony in the aftermath of COVID-19 , Doyoung, Park Gun-il, Sung-hoon, Kwon Kwon, and Jeon Yeo-bin, 26 people will be present.

Singers Espa, The Boyz, Stray Kids, Youngwoong Lim, Seventeen, BamBam, Wonho, Daniel Kang, Eunbi Kwon, Seungyeon Jo, Alexa, Nu'est, Astro, Pentagon, Golden Child, N Hyphen, Brave Girls, Cosmic Girls Jjokkomi, Momo 28 teams including Land, Weekly, StayC, ITZY, Everglow, DKB, T1419, Kingdom, Bleachers, and Brave Brothers were unveiled as attendees.

This would have been a perfectly great year...

 

Kim Seon-ho chooses to read the script instead of the awards ceremony… focus on acting
출처 : SBS연예뉴스 원본 링크 : https://ent.sbs.co.kr/news/article.do?

 

Kim Seon-ho will attend the first script reading for the movie 'Sad Tropical' (Director Hoon-Jung Park) on the 4th. This is the first official move in two months since the drama 'Gae Village Cha Cha Cha', which ended in October. The reason why people are paying attention to this move is because it is their first official activity after the controversy over their personal life with their ex-girlfriend.

 

Kim Seon-ho was selected as the winner of the Popularity Award at the 6th '2021 Asia Artist Awards' (hereinafter '2021 AAA') to be held today (2nd), but decided not to participate. It seems that it was too early to receive the award ceremony spotlight in a situation where the public's eyes are divided. Instead, he plans to focus on acting, which is his duty, and accelerate his acting career.

The new 'Sad Tropical' is a film directed by Park Hoon-jung, who directed 'The New World' and 'The Witch'.

Kim Seon-ho makes acting comeback months after scandal

By Esther Lam

After getting hit with a potentially career-ending scandal and then surviving the backlash, South Korean actor Kim Seon-ho is ready to step back into the spotlight after eight months. His comeback project? The Korean adaptation of the play Touching the Void. This will also be Seon-ho's first acting gig this year.

And seeing as he made his debut in theatre in 2009, this makes the 36-year-old's comeback through theatre rather poetic.

On Wednesday (June 22), Seon-ho's agency Salt Entertainment announced the news with a promotional poster featuring Seon-ho. 

Set in 1985, the play follows Joe Simpson (played by Seon-ho) and Simon Yates, two British mountaineers in their grand quest to be the first to reach the summit of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. As they make their descent, they face near-death situations and have to fight for survival.

The story is based on the book of the same name by Joe Simpson and its 2003 film adaptation. The play will run from July 9 to Sept 18 at Seoul's Art One Theater.

For the uninitiated, Seon-ho was previously a rising star after his appearances in Start-Up and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. 

That was until October 2021, when an anonymous woman, said to be his ex-girlfriend, accused him of mental abuse and claimed he forced her to get an abortion to save his career. She also said he was obsessed with money and changed his attitude towards her after the abortion.

Following news of the scandal, brands that Seon-ho endorsed — including Domino's Pizza Korea, Canon Korea, Miima and Nau Korea — dropped him and removed his commercials and photos from their official channels.

The 36-year-old also withdrew his participation in season four of the Korean variety show 2 Days and 1 Night.

The tide began to turn when a report from Korean paparazzi media Dispatch revealed that his ex-girlfriend was not entirely innocent either.

Allegedly, she was seeing other men and had kept images and videos of Seon-ho on her personal devices.

In a series of conversations leaked by Dispatch between the couple and their friends, it was revealed that Seon-ho had actually been a loyal and loving boyfriend. The pair's relationship had also fallen apart due to questionable circumstances and not because of Seon-ho's rise to fame.

The former couple's friends said that Seon-ho had been supportive throughout the abortion process — and even after — and that it was his ex-girlfriend who had been difficult.

It's not clear whether he had forced her to get the abortion, but nevertheless, public perception of Seon-ho quickly changed from villain to victim.

Netizens began showering Seon-ho with love and support again and brands also reinstated advertisements featuring the actor.

His Instagram following also grew exponentially and now stands at a whopping 8.1 million. And, it seems he has one more project on the horizon after Touching the Void — the South Korean noir film Sad Tropics. 

Seon-ho was announced as part of the cast in November 2021 and filming wrapped earlier this year.
