    Judging from the way she acts (whether from her posts or dispatch’s article), looks like she has the “if I go down, you go down with me. If I can’t have you, no one can have you” mentality, which is scary. I really really hope I’m wrong on this :(.

     

    Anyone knows what’s the general public reaction in SK? I read a post in koalas’ blog about knetz reaction, but I think the post is biased. 

    Same I really wish for this to end. I get the same feeling that A may do something drastic given what has been revealed about her. And that is not going to benefit KSH in any way. 

     

    From what I know, the public sentiment in Korea is still mixed - leaning towards positive for KSH, anger at A, but also some making fun/nitpicking over the seaweed soup thing. That is what I gathered from other discussions/twitter (not from being able to read Korean myself).

    The sad part is that even if the truth is covered and Kim Seon Ho is innocent, and it was all Choi Young Ah making things up, the damage to Kim Seon Ho has been done and I’m pretty sure he won’t get any brand deals or casting any time soon because of this controversy… Choi Young Ah got what she wanted and Kim Seon Ho’s image has been tainted even if it’s not his fault. Sigh he even left 2D1N now so I think things will be quiet with Kim Seon Ah’s career.

     I have mixed feelings about what we now know from the dispatch exposé. 

     

    On one hand, I feel vindicated in trusting my gut that there is more to it than just A’s side of the story.  

    However like you said, the damage is already done. His career (3 movies, multiple brand endorsements, 2d1n, and very likely more opportunities) AND personal life just came crashing down just like that. And that just saddens me so much. 

     

    Still wondering how he is doing mentally (since he has been radio silent) and hoping there won’t be further back lash/retaliation from the Korean public and A. 

     

    Also, please can we not shame/call A names? Regardless of what she did and what has been exposed, we really shouldn’t be judging. We now know more because of dispatch’s expose but we are still not in a position to judge. In any situation and relationships, it is never black and white in terms of who is at fault/wrong. Besides, calling her names will just reflect poorly on KSH as well.

  3. It feels so strange that 1 week ago, at the exact same time, I was watching episode 15 of homcha, savouring every moment of the second last episode and now in the span of a week things are so different.

     

    I’m thankful things have been quieter the past 2 days (though still wondering if KSH is ok given the hospitalisation rumor from yesterday) and I’m rewatching the 2d1n episodes where they went to Pohang and had a cooking competition. I realised where the opening scene was shot, was also featured a few times in homcha! Feeling wistful to see them joking around, and in fact teasing KSH about his rising popularity and how that is starkly contrasted with what is going on now… 

     

    Also, reading the Arena interview reminded me of one of the reason that drew me to KSH - his love for acting. His love for it really comes through in how he talks about his approach to acting and I don’t think that is something that can be ‘faked’ or coached by his agency or anyone else. 

     

    Here’s wishing he is well and that everyone here is well too!

  4. @Hajungjihyun, I saw that on twitter, something about having an anxiety attack? 

    But seems like there isn’t a lot of information about it at the moment so it’s hard to know for sure. 

     

    Wouldn’t be surprised if he had an anxiety attack, can’t imagine how tough it must be for him to have so many pairs of eyes scrutinise his every action/word. Although we’ll never know fully what happened and I do think at the very least he had handled the relationship with A poorly, he doesn’t deserve being scrutinised and judged so callously as he has been.

    Seeing Din Din being emotional in his radio show the other day broke my heart :(

    It broke my heart too. It felt like he was still processing everything and that he was having a hard time reining his emotions in.

     

    I stopped watching season 3 after Kim Joo Hyuk left so I wasn’t so affected when the mess with JJY and the rest broke out. 

     

    It took a while for me to watch season 4 but when I did I really enjoyed the relationships between the cast members (KSH & Dindin, KSH & Ravi, KSH & Seyoon, etc) and also the crew. They felt very much like family committed to making the show work. So I am hoping that when things die down, there is a chance that KSH could return, though I would imagine it would be really stressful for him if he does (having to be authentic while constantly worrying about how the audience is perceiving him).

  6. Thanks everyone for sharing various information about what is happening at the moment. It’s quite reassuring to hear that there has been a slight shift in the media reporting of the ‘scandal’. 

     

    @sanghyuk, where did you chance upon the article about SALT being MIA from the brands? Sounds like they could have definitely handled the situation better by handling the anxiety better from the brands. However, if they themselves were not aware of the relationship with A beforehand I can see why they might have scrambled and dropped the ball. 

     

    I don’t know about SALT and how they are, but I really hope they will do their very best to support and fight for KSH in the aftermath of the ‘scandal’. We can’t change what has already been said/accused/happened but there is still plenty of room to salvage KSH’s reputation and career! 

     

     

    ————————

    Just after typing the above, I saw that SALT has stepped up to deny allegations from someone who claimed to be KSH’s college mate! Good job SALT, keep it up!

  7. SALT has done nothing so far really. Is this normal for an agency to be so quiet when one of their actors/actresses gets into trouble? I don’t follow any actors/actresses other than KSH so I really don’t know what to expect. 

     

    Also, it feels like his colleagues/the industry in general have forsaken him. :cry:

    Or maybe this is my desire that he is not ruined by this and that he has people taking care and looking out for him.

    I hope he lands Netflix project after this. Pick a good role which can showcase his acting skill and reach out to intl audience. 

    I hope SALT will work hard to make this happen for him. Both startup and homcha have been popular on Netflix so I’m hoping he can find work there. Also, Netflix has come up with some really good dramas which I think will be perfect for KSH to focus on showcasing his acting skills and move away from the good boy image. 

     

    In other news, sounds like whoever was going to reveal more information on 25 Oct has decided not to do so. There’s a lot of misinformation out there so I think it is really important to be discerning of what we are consuming/reading.

    Found this on twitter. Apparently a kr-eng translator. I found it helpful to read her take of A’s original post, relative to the one that has been widely reported/circulated. 

     

    I similarly find it frustrating that I can’t understand Korean and have to rely on what is being translated by others. 

     

    @2d1n_fan, sure hope that Sad Tropics is still a possibility. I think he’ll be brilliant in it.

    I really having a hard time. I feel anxious since the rumour broke and have trouble sleeping. I just want to know the truth and get over with it!

    Same. I’ve been feeling uneasy and tensed since finding out on Monday and having a hard time processing things.

     

    A lot of his works (2d1n, past dramas including homcha) are my solace/comfort and now it feels like I have lost this source of comfort. I want to still support 2d1n because I have grown to love the cast, but it is hard to not feel sad/or feel disillusioned while watching. 

     

    I’m not familiar with how agencies work, but it does seem like SALT has been incredibly quiet other than the 2 statements they have issued. 

     

    @2d1n_fan, I read somewhere yesterday that KSH has stepped down from Sad Tropics and there is some discussion about compensation. Don’t know how true that is.

    This is why SH mama should have advised him to choose his partner wisely and wrap that hotdog up!

    Hilarious but so so true about wrapping that hotdog up! Especially if you are in the K entertainment industry. Honestly I don’t give a rats if you have a kid before marriage or never ever marry but it matters to your audience so wrap that hotdog up. 

     

    Have all the sex you want but be disciplined about it!

  12. It sounds like a relationship gone wrong with 2 immature parties who handled the breakup very poorly.

     

    My guess is A, in her fit of rage/jealousy, decided to write what she did for revenge. I don’t buy that it was done without realising the harm it will cause given how much details she shared in her post and given that she was once a part of the industry. 

     

    I read something about how further information will be disclosed on 25th October. Not sure how true that is. But I guess we will continue to hear a bit more about this.. tho I am doubtful it will reverse any of the damage that has already been caused (to KSH, to 2D1N, to homcha etc).

    I’m just wondering about how much of what the woman revealed is true and if there is any part of what she revealed is not over exaggerated or fabricated. We only got her side of the story and don’t know the full story behind Kim Seon ho’s action.

    Same here. I do wish to hear KSH’s side of the story so I can better decide how to feel about this.

     

    But I can understand why it wouldn’t be helpful for him to give his side of the story now - people are going to just use it against him I think especially since emotions are running high. 

     

    I’m glad I checked in on this thread yesterday as it has given me an outlet to make sense of how I am feeling about this. Was feeling disturbed and anxious about this since Monday.

  14. I just read the article sent by @ferily (thank you!) and it was so detailed and scathing it’ll be hard for him to bounce back from this.. plus his age is not on his side as well. I can see why he only apologised without providing any explanations. A’s post was so detailed and long how would he even begin to explain everything that he was accused of? Beside explaining himself will likely just invite further accusations. Essentially it was an impossible position to be in. 

     

    Relationships are complicated, and clearly KSH has been immature. However A has to take responsibility for what happened as well instead of placing all blame on him and destroying his life in the way she did. 

     

    I still think it is such a pity for his career to fall apart the way it has in 3 days, things could have panned out so differently if he had been more mature and disciplined about things. 

     

    I will still watch if he acts, but definitely as another poster mentioned, without the rose tinted glasses.

  15. It is what it is… I really didn’t want to believe it was about him but a lot of what was said in the post by his ex-girlfriend did point to him. The timing of it was just awful, it took away from the fans, the crew, and the cast of homcha. 

     

    I have a lot of questions and I am disappointed with him but he doesn’t owe us any explanations. Short of him committing abuse/assault, I still enjoy his acting and his role in 2d1n and will continue to support him in this manner. 

     

    Though it sounds like he is likely going to have to go on a hiatus at the very least and that includes 2d1n. I hope the rest, including his 2d1n family will find it in them to forgive him for the negative impact this has caused for them. :cry:

    Almost all his brands have removed him from their social media accounts. There has been calls for him to step down from 2D1N. But there are some who wants more clarity before judgement is made.

    It’s so sad and surreal at the same time.

    Was just thinking of rewatching HTCCC and catching the latest episode of 2d1n when I saw the rumours on Reddit. 

     

    Can’t believe how quickly things escalated and how quickly these brands are dropping him when it all originated from something said by someone nameless, which hasn’t even been confirmed. 

     

    And it is so frustrating that SALT is pretty much radio silent other than the statement issued earlier today.

    This! Not just his professional contacts, people he worked with in the army and those who attended university with him have nothing but good words of him. I agree something does not add up!

    It does seem like other than what was alleged in the post by A, no one else has come forth to say anything bad about KSH. That’s saying something. 

     

    However, it seems like we are headed for another day with nothing conclusive from SALT or KSH and that’s very worrying… especially with so many brands dropping him.

    It's really unfortunate that another actor with great potential will most likely disappear. Regardless whether the rumor is true or not, I do hope KSH will be able to rebound and learn from this episode, otherwise it'll be a waste of his acting talent (I rarely cry when watching drama but homecha3x ep 15 & 16 made me cry bucket of tears T.T). If he ever recovers, he should pick more heavy roles in the future and move away from his good boy image that people and his agency try to instill on him. And lastly, SALT, you should hire a new PR team, what happened yesterday (and today) is a basic PR 101 strategy gone wrong! Unless you're telling me that there's more to this story...

     

    It does feel like this is going to put his acting career to a halt, especially since SALT is still not saying anything conclusive. I have never been a fan of any actor or actress but KSH really drew me in with how he embodies his roles and it will be so sad for all that talent to go to waste because of rumours. However of course if he had done wrong such as abuse/assault then that should never be condoned. 

     

    If he is able to bounce back from this, or we finally get clarification on this rumour, I do think he’ll do really well with heavier roles and move away from the pressure of the ‘good boy’ image. I mean how long can anyone stay a ‘good boy’? 

     

    Feeling sad for the homcha team and 2D1N as well. Sigh.

  19. Really sad about the news. I’ve heard about it yesterday and have been hoping that things will be cleared up soon. And it seems that things are just getting worse and worse for KSH… other than all the news articles, brands pulling out, now there are reports that his contract with SALT has expired in September. 

     

    This is so disheartening and I don’t know what to make of it. Just hoping we will get to know what actually happened soon.

    So it's true, our finale ep is going to be 2 hours long.... I'm glad as now the ending wont seem rushed. They will wrap up each character's arc beautifully so we can have that romantic Sunday after all lol! I can just hear KSH singing "lalalala" now :joy:

    Bring on the 2 hours! I wouldn’t mind if it’s 9 hours either!

    Glad we finally got to hear DS’ story and his past and as expected, KSH killed the scenes. 

    The scene of DS and his Hyung really got to me. 

     

    The rest of the cast were amazing too. Ijun’s confusion, fear, and tears really got to me. The actor did such an amazing job! 

     

    I know ratings are usually lower on Saturdays, but I really hope the ratings will break a new high for this episode because it was such a beautiful episode. 

     

    Also, for the last episode, we’ll be getting both a funeral and wedding Such a poignant way to end the show with both an end and new beginnings.

    @cuteyabby Seon Ah isnt Ji Seong Hyun’s sister I’m pretty sure. He calls her “Noona” because she’s older than her. The two do have different last name too, Kang Seon Ah and Ji Seong Hyun. I think Ji Seong Hyun just knows her from the past 

     

    Thanks for clarifying that! Yeah wouldn’t make sense they are siblings since they have different last names.

    - Du Sik changing the last item on his bucket list from “Making Hye Jin happy” to “Be happy with you for a long time”. I’m not crying :criesariver:

    I teared too. It was such a small but poignant moment. It reflects DS prioritising himself instead of just doing what he has been the past 5 years, to give and make others happy. This time round he is allowing himself to be happy with someone else.
