Controversy over Kim Seon Ho's role as When Life Is for a Good friend

DƯƠNG HƯƠNG |

Korean audiences have mixed reactions to the news that Kim Seon Ho will participate in the movie "When Life Is for You" and have a relationship with IU.

Recently, Netflix announced the poster and trailer for season 3 of the drama "When Life Gives You Tangerines".

In the poster, Ae Sun (Moon So Ri) - Gwan Sik (Park Hae Joon) in their middle age and their daughter Geum Myeong (IU) look at the young man and smile. The young man solemnly bowed his head in front of Geum Myeong's parents but did not reveal his face.

According to Ilgan Sports, the mysterious guy in the poster is Park Chung Seop played by actor Kim Seon Ho. This character will build a romantic relationship with Geum Myeong and is likely to become her husband.

An industry insider said that although he only plays a guest role, Kim Seon Ho's screen time is not small but will spans many episodes.

Kim Seon Ho's appearance was supported by international audiences, because the actor once made an impression with the healing film "Hometown Cha-cha-cha" (2021), which also has a setting as a coastal village.

However, this information caused mixed reactions in Korea. On the online community theqoo, many viewers were upset because the producer chose Kim Seon Ho for the role, with the reason that this actor had been involved in a love scandal in the past.

Although he was "unjustly accused" by Dispatch, he still left a bad impression on a part of the audience.

Other opinions are upset about the way the producer promotes the film. Initially, the two main actors were said to be IU and Park Bo Gum, playing the young Ae Sun and Gwan Sik. The two actors always appear prominently in media posts and press conferences.

But when the show aired half (8/16 episodes), fans discovered that Park Bo Gum's acting role was getting less and less, because from season 2, he had to make way for the middle-aged characters Gwan Sik and Ae Sun, played by actors Park Hae Joon and Moon So Ri.

Meanwhile, the character of the two's daughter Geum Myeong is still played by IU.

In the second part, if the story revolves around Geum Myeong and Kim Seon Ho's character having a relationship with her, Park Bo Gum's screen time may continue to decrease.

The audience commented: "The filming time of Park Bo Gum in part 2 was enough to disappoint me. parts 3 and 4 will probably be even less, So you wont see Park Bo Gum in the second half?, Why are they promoting Park Bo Gum as the male lead?...

Kim Seon Ho's special appearance in the film "When Life Is for You" was first revealed in 2023, when the filming process was at the completion stage.

However, the producer still did not announce the actor's role when the film was halfway through.

According to TV Report, part 3 released on March 21 will revolve around the story of Geum Myeong (IU). She left her parents' arms to study abroad in Japan and had her own life. She continues her romantic relationship but also has many problems with her boyfriend Yeong Bum (Lee Jun Young).

This makes the audience even more curious about where Geum Myeong - Yeong Bum will go, and how Kim Seon Ho's character will meet and build affection for IU?
