Kim Seon-ho, who was recently seen in the popular Korean drama Hometown Cha Cha Cha, has issued a statement regarding claims that he forced his ex-girlfriend to have an abortion on the pretext of marriage. A woman had shared an anonymous post in which she accused an actor she once dated of forcing her to have an abortion under false promises of marriage.
He said in his apology, “This is Kim Seon Ho. I sincerely apologize for the belated statement. I experienced a fear that felt for the first time after the article with the mention of my name was released a while ago, and that is why I am writing this now.”
“I met her with good emotions. In that process, I hurt her due to my carelessness and inconsiderate actions. I wanted to meet and apologize to her directly, but I am not able to properly convey the apology now and am waiting for that time to come. For now, I would like to genuinely apologize to her through this statement,” Kim Seon Ho wrote.
“I apologize for also disappointing all of those who trusted and supported me until the end. It was all thanks to those who supported me that I was able to become the actor Kim Seon Ho, but I had forgotten that. I apologize for causing trouble to my co-stars and all of the related staff who worked with me due to my flaws. I would like to sincerely apologize to everyone who was hurt. I am aware that this rambling statement will not fully reach your hearts, but I am still attempting to convey my sincere thoughts. I am very sorry,” he added.
The actor’s agency, Salt Entertainment, also issued a formal statement of apology regarding the issue. “We apologize for causing concern to many with actor Kim Seon-ho’s personal matters. We would like to apologize to all those who were disappointed and troubled by this issue,” they said.
Following the controversy, it has been confirmed that Seon-ho will be leaving the South Korean variety show 2 Days & 1 Night, where he was a regular cast member. Soompi also reported that several brands which had Seon-ho as an endorser had removed the actor from their official channels.
