Actor Kim Ji Soo Returns To Korea For The First Time Since His School Violence Scandal
Following a controversy that received massive backlash in South Korea, actor Kim Ji Soo recently returned to the country.

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.
