Not to mention, the number of visits to find information about Kim Seon Ho is increasing day by day.
However, before he could enjoy the fruits of his efforts, the actor faced the accusation of his ex-girlfriend when she released a series of documents, Kim Seon Ho forced an abortion and was a double-faced person.

Not long before, the Asian entertainment industry was shaken by the "overlapping" scandals of Chinese stars such as Ngo Diec Pham, Trieu Vy, Truong Triet Han... In particular, Ngo Diec Pham's case completely collapsed fans' image that they had long worshiped.
Taking advantage of his name to force young girls who are not yet teenagers has shown the negative side of a life of chaos that the actor has maintained for so long.
Not only advertising cooperation brands, Ngo Diec Pham's fandoms also turned their backs on their idol's scandal when they announced the end of all donation campaigns. Currently, Ngo Diec Pham was arrested to investigate crimes such as luring, raping minors, using stimulants... He also had to "carry" a huge debt from brands with a compensation of more than 500 million yuan (about 1,768 billion VND).
Many opinions say that the recent turmoil in the Asian entertainment industry shows a big "loophole" in the personality of the artist world. When artists do not value themselves, becoming a beautiful image for the audience, especially young people to follow, is probably going against the expectations of fans.
