Controversy over the ‘K-actor’ surrounding actor Kim Seon-ho is sweeping the internet, from rumors of the expiration of his contract with Salt Entertainment in September to speculations about the identity of the revealer A.

Kim Seon-ho was at the center of controversy with a post titled ‘I am accusing the double and shameless reality of the popular actor K’, which was uploaded to an online community on the 17th. Writer A revealed that she was an ex-girlfriend, and wrote that they dated early last year and that it had been 4 months since they broke up. In particular, he insisted, “The mental and physical trauma caused by the subhuman actions that made me erase my precious baby and demanded unilateral sacrifice is a serious state of mental and physical trauma.” It raised allegations of masquerading marriage and insisting on abortion.

On the 19th, Kim Seon-ho’s agency, Salt Entertainment, apologized, “We sincerely apologize for not being able to give you a quick position.” I earnestly ask for your help. I sincerely apologize for causing concern with bad things.”

In such a case, only one side’s opinion cannot be heard. It is true that at Salt Entertainment, it is difficult to make hasty judgments or decisions because the order should be to confirm the opinions of both sides, then to confirm whether they are true, and then to organize all opinions and to state their positions. The agency arranges this in the middle, but this is because it is a matter of the actor’s personal life.

In the meantime, the controversy arose over the end of the contract between Kim Seon-ho and Salt Entertainment in September. There has been a rumor that Kim Seon-ho and Salt Entertainment’s management contract had ended, so even though he knew about it, he turned away from it, but it has been confirmed that this is not true. Both sides had a contract period left and it was not time to discuss a contract renewal. Until recently, all of Kim Seon-ho’s management and next project were also closely negotiating. A YouTuber’s attention-grabbing remarks focused on Mr. A’s identity. There was even a report that he was an ‘influencer from a broadcasting company’. The case is expanding day by day, pressing even to reveal the identity of the person who complained of pain to the online community.
