Actor Kim Seon-ho has admitted to the so-called 'K-actor scandal.' On the 20th, through his agency Salt Entertainment, he stated, "I sincerely want to apologize to that person." He explained, "We met with good feelings, but during that process, my negligence and thoughtless actions caused hurt," and added, "I wanted to apologize in person, but I am currently unable to properly convey my apology and am waiting for the right time." He also said, "Even through this message, I sincerely want to apologize to that person."
The person he referred to is A, who revealed on an online community that she dated Kim Seon-ho until four months ago. She claimed that Kim Seon-ho deceived her with the pretense of marriage, demanded one-sided sacrifices, and pressured her to have an abortion after learning of her pregnancy. A underwent an abortion surgery as Kim Seon-ho wished. However, she confessed that she was deeply hurt after Kim Seon-ho, busy erasing traces of her, unilaterally notified her of their breakup.
A did not directly mention Kim Seon-ho. However, the circumstances and descriptions in the post made it possible to infer, rapidly spreading suspicion and controversy. Salt Entertainment stated that it was only on the third day that they began to ascertain the facts. Regarding this, Kim Seon-ho explained, "I sincerely apologize for the delay in my statement. After articles mentioning my name were published, I experienced fear for the first time and have only now been able to leave this message." He continued, "I was able to stand as an actor because there were always people supporting me, but I had forgotten that. I caused trouble to many people who worked with me on projects and all related parties. I sincerely apologize."
