Yet, while the controversy was a while ago, the actor is still being met with mixed reactions about whether his image has “recovered.”
Recently, an entertainment insider reported that Kim Seon Ho is set to star in a new political K-Drama, May the Assemblyman Bless You, while other reports indicate that he is “positively considering the role.” The story follows Gu Young Jin, a National Assembly member who takes his own life in 2008, only to awaken as a ghost ten years earlier. Kim Seon Ho is reportedly playing the role of Cha Jae Rim, a low-ranking civil servant with the ability to see ghosts.
However, when the information was shared online, netizens seemed to share more negative reactions towards the decision, indicating that their views towards Kim Seon Ho remain negative.
- Please, whether it’s a scheduling conflict or whatever, I’m praying for a casting change 🙏
- I can just skip it if an actor with a scandal appears, but honestly, he doesn’t even look like a leading man…
- The entertainment industry is truly disgusting.
- There are so many actors taking breaks, why is this guy always working?
- I don’t care about anything else, but the age difference with the character is ridiculous… How can someone born in 1986 play someone in their mid-20s?
- Seriously, are they not even trying to discover new faces anymore??
- Disgusting.
