[스포츠서울 | 김선우기자]Actors Seo Ye-ji and Kim Seon-ho, who caused controversy over their private lives, will return respectively. Can we hit the hearts of the people who have turned their backs on us again?
Seo Ye-ji and Kim Seon-ho, both of whom were struggling with their life’s work, both entered into forced self-restraint due to controversy over their privacy. However, Seo Ye-ji is about to resume activities side by side with tvN’s new drama ‘Scandal of Eve’ after 7 months, and Kim Seon-ho with the comeback movie ‘Sad Tropical’ after more than a month. Returning at the same time, the gaze towards the two is also hot.
Seo Ye-ji was at the center of the controversy as the suspicion of gaslighting by her ex-girlfriend Kim Jung-hyun that broke out in the first half of this year was raised in a series of suspicions of staff abuse and school violence. At that time, the suspicions grew despite Seo Ye-ji’s explanation, and the advertising industry was also cut off. He also ended up leaving the OCN ‘Ireland’ which was his next work. The movie ‘Memories of Tomorrow’, which was released around the same time, was also severely damaged. After that, Seo Ye-ji returned to the drama and went head-to-head. In the play, Seo Ye-ji takes on the role of the female lead, Irael, who transforms into a character with fatal charm after going through an unfortunate family history. An industry insider pointed out, “The needs of both actors and dramas seem to match in that the pool of actors to replace is not wide.”
Kim Seon-ho, who was embroiled in an abortion scandal with his ex-lover, returns even faster. He recently hit the heyday of disassembling himself as a simple charmer in tvN’s ‘Gae Village Cha Cha Cha’. It was the result of a long wait. However, the ex-lover revealed that ‘Kim Seon-ho encouraged me to have an abortion,’ and immediately became the subject of controversy. After the truth workshop, the past messenger conversation between Kim Seon-ho and his ex-lover was revealed, and the suspicions about Kim Seon-ho seemed to have been resolved. He also dropped out of KBS2’s ‘2 Days & 1 Night’, which he was regularly appearing in, as well as the movies ‘Dog Days’ and ‘2 O’Clock Date’.
The movie ‘Sad Tropical’, which was concerned about Kim Seon-ho’s appearance until the end, did not let go of Kim Seon-ho’s hand. Was it because there was no sharp way to crank-in right away? The ‘Sad Tropical’ side made the appearance official saying, “After a long time with the production team, we decided to join actor Kim Seon-ho.” According to industry insiders, the role played by Kim Seon-ho is markedly different from what he has shown so far. Therefore, it is predicted that ‘sad tropical’ may become a new turning point in the life of actor Kim Seon-ho. Filming will start in December.
Kim Seon-ho’s face is being seen not only in movies but also in the advertising world. 11st, where Kim Seon-ho was first introduced again, is broadcasting not only online advertisements but also TV advertisements. Kim Seon-ho’s 11st advertisement appeared in the mid-advertisement of ‘2 Days & 1 Night’, which aired on the 21st, and Kim Seon-ho had already left the program, but an ironic situation was also produced in which his face was reflected in the advertisement. An entertainment industry official also pointed out, “In the case of a movie, it takes about a year from crank-in to crank-up, post-production and release, so it must have been the best way for a comeback.”
Judging by the flow of results, it seems like a fairly smooth comeback. But never rush. Of course, in the case of privacy controversies, it is difficult to judge them in the realm of law. However, in the lives of stars where images are important, the privacy controversy is also an area where the image damage is inevitable just by mentioning it. In particular, due to the domestic sentiment, which is sensitive to privacy issues, there are bound to be restrictions on genres such as romance and melodrama in the future.
In the end, time is not a problem that can be solved. In the end, it is necessary to open the minds of the public who have turned their backs on the results that have overturned the privacy scandal. You won’t be able to completely remove the tag though, but you have to constantly tap it. It should not be immersed in the comeback. The next staff is more important. Only then can it be called a true comeback. In the end, the essence of a comeback is to show the best performance in your position. I wonder if Seo Ye-ji and Kim Seon-ho will be able to open the second act of their acting career with a true comeback that is recognized by the public rather than a half comeback.
