In 2021, Kim Ji Soo was accused of school violence, bullying, sexual harassment, and assault. His agency at the time then terminated his contract, and he was replaced by another actor in the drama Where The River Moon Rises, enlisting in the military shortly after.

In 2023, Ji Soo provided an update on the allegations, stating that the original accuser had since forgiven him.

He hinted at a return to acting, which was fulfilled with his appearance in a drama in the Philippines. Not long after, Ji Soo signed with a local agency, signaling a new start to his career.

Until recently, the actor had not returned to Korea since his hiatus began, but that has now changed.

On April 22, Ji Soo shared a TikTok video, showing himself walking along the Han River and speaking in English to someone behind the camera.
