The Korean romantic drama "Can this love be translated?" (Can this love be translated?) is causing a fever on Netflix worldwide just a few days after its release.
Leading actor Kim Seon Ho also attracted attention, his acting career and private matters related to the actor were discussed again.
In particular, the developments in Kim Seon Ho's 2021 love scandal with his ex-girlfriend surprised many new fans who knew the actor.
In mid-October 2021, Kim Seon Ho was controversial when he was becoming a bright face on screen thanks to the explosion of the movie "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha".
Kim Seon Ho's ex-girlfriend accused the actor of forcing her to have an abortion for fear of affecting her career. At the same time, Kim Seon Ho is accused of being fake, often badmouthing and insulting colleagues.
Just 2 days after the incident exploded, the handsome man born in 1986 officially spoke up to admit all his mistakes and apologize to his ex-girlfriend and fans.
The shocking private scandal caused Kim Seon Ho to be boycotted immediately, and a series of brands turned their backs and removed advertising images. He had to proactively withdraw from the hit reality show "2 Days 1 Night". Many film projects announced the replacement of the male actor. TVN also blurred Kim Seon Ho's face on television.
But about a week later, the situation suddenly reversed when Dispatch news agency published an article revealing the dating history of Kim Seon Ho and his ex-girlfriend - who was specifically named Choi Young Ah, a former broadcaster of the KBS weather section.
According to Dispatch, Kim Seon Ho did not force his girlfriend to have an abortion, but both discussed and agreed. Choi Young Ah also repeatedly deceived her boyfriend to meet other men while the couple was dating.
According to a mutual friend, Kim Seon Ho, because he loved Choi Young Ah and did not want to expose his private life, admitted all his mistakes.
Dispatch's proactive acquittal of a star is considered a "rare" move. Because this news agency has been famous for many years for exposing private life, scandals, especially the love affairs of artists. Even, there is a custom, every year Dispatch will announce dating news of a couple of artists on the first day of the new year.
This time, Dispatch really "saved" Kim Seon Ho's career. Although domestic public opinion still has mixed opinions, the majority of international audiences support Kim Seon Ho's return to operation. The online community calls Kim Seon Ho an "exception of Dispatch" when he is strongly protected by this news agency.
Many people think that Kim Seon Ho is truly a "good boy", a "decent man" from on screen to in real life.
The actor became famous thanks to the image of a warm, kind guy - from the role of all-around boss Han Ji Pyeong in the movie "Startup", to the team leader Hong, all-around in "Hometown Cha-cha-cha", or the son-in-law flattering his father-in-law in "When Life gives you a tangerine" - Kim Seon Ho was favored by fans with the nickname "national good boy".
Reappearing with the movie "This Love Sound, Can You Translate?", Kim Seon Ho collaborates with 1996 beauty Go Yoon Jung. He plays Joo Ho Jin - a translator who is fluent in many languages, but clumsy in expressing personal emotions.
Although the film's script is controversial, the harmony between Kim Seon Ho and Go Yoon Jung still caused a social media storm, contributing to creating heat for the film.
