Kim Seon Ho will not be starring in the drama “Hash’s Shinru” (working title), which he was previously in talks for.

“Hash’s Shinru” is a historical romance drama that follows the story of crown prince Lee Hyang, who is a scientist that loves the stars, and Hae Roo, a mysterious woman who sees the future.

Earlier in January, Kim Seon Ho was reported to be in talks for the role of the genius scientist Crown Prince Lee Hyang, but ultimately, he decided to turn down the casting offer. He is currently filming director Park Hoon Jung’s new film “Tyrant” (literal title).

@backstreetboysfan, thank you for the updates...
If I had to choose one of the Drama, I would choose the modern Drama over the historical Drama too. 

Below is another article about it.

Kim Seon Ho Declines "Haesi's Shinru", In Talks To Return With The K-Drama "Into the Dead"

Kim Seon Ho carefully chooses his next K-drama.

On March 16, Kim Seon Ho's agency SALT Entertainment announced that the actor has decided to not star in the upcoming K-drama Haesi's Shinru
 

Back in October 2022, Kim Seon Ho was positively considering returning to the drama scene with Haesi's Shinru. The agency revealed that after discussing it with the production company of the said K-drama, they have decided to decline the offer. 
 

Haesi's Shinru is a historical romance drama that takes place during King Sejong's reign in the Joseon era. It tells the story of Crown Prince Lee Hyang - a genius scientist who loved gazing at stars - and Hae Ru - a mysterious woman who sees the future. Kim Seon Ho was on the cast list for the role of the genius scientist Crown Prince Lee Hyang but ultimately decided not to appear.

However, Kim Seon Ho's fans will be able to see him in an upcoming action-thriller alongside Cha Seung Won and Kim Kang Woo. He is currently filming for the movie Tyrant, directed by Park Hoon Jung. . The actor is also on tour for Kim Seon Ho's 'One, Two, Three, Smile' 2023 Fan Meeting. 

Tyrant is a story about a group of people chasing the last sample of the Tyrant Program, which was lost in a delivery accident. On the trial of the sample are three men - a former agent Lim Sang (Cha Seung Won), tasked with the duty to execute people associated with the Tyrant Program; the bureau director of a government agency Choi Gook Jang (Kim Seon Ho), operating the Tyrant Program unofficially; and Paul (Kim Kang Woo), a foreign intelligence agency agent who aims to rid the last sample of the Tyrant Program.
 

The movie is expected to premiere sometime in 2023 or early 2024. 
 

The Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha actor also took up another K-drama titled Into the Dead (working title) as his next project. Into the Dead is expected to be an 8-episode series that follows the story of a sister digging into the death of her younger brother. Director Kim Jee Woon of the movie I Saw the Devil and director Park Bo Ram of Through the Darkness will direct the film. More news is yet to come about the K-drama's release. 
 

Stay tuned for further updates!

What to Expect from Kim Seon-ho’s Next: ‘The Childe’

Kim Seon-ho will play a mysterious nobleman in the movie, which marks his big-screen debut and his comeback after ‘Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha’

Originally titled Sad Tropics, Park Hoon-jung’s next, The Childe, will be released this June. The Korean action-noir thriller concerns a struggling boxer—with a Korean father and a Filipino mother—who is being watched and pursued by unknown, vile individuals while visiting Korea in search of his father.
 

Kim Seon-ho will star as the titular Gwigongja (Nobleman) in the movie, which marks his big-screen debut and his comeback to the scene after his last, the superhit romantic comedy slice-of-life cathartic K-drama Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (2021).
 

Kim’s significant stage experience contributes to his incredible authenticity; he is a rare actor who brings composure and polish to every situation. He seems natural and instinctual, even in a challenging role, and was rightfully named Gallup Korea’s Television Actor of the Year for 2021. With The Childe, he certainly returns to the spotlight, ramping up his game.

Based on reports, Kim’s character in the picture has qualities that are the antithesis of what we’ve come to expect from him from his previous efforts. The poster has already piqued my interest. What else have we got to look forward to? Read on.


An All-New Kim Seon-ho

Kim has an extraordinary capacity to hold your attention, given that he portrays characters who are fascinating to learn about. Keeping in line with this, as the nobleman in The Childe, his presence is cloaked in mystery. Nothing is known about what motivates him to pursue Marco (the boxer, played by Kang Tae-joo).


The movie poster adds to Kim’s enigma with his silhouette, sporting a dapper gentleman’s appearance. He carries a marked swag while whistling and fixating on something against a dark blue skyline. The actor appears to be a dubious guy on the surface, and from what little is known about him, he will undoubtedly catch us off guard, though, just when we least expect it. I am most interested in the equation involving Marco, him, and whatever lies beneath.

A Distinctive Action-Noir Film

Filmmaker and screenwriter Park Hoon-jung supposedly have a soft spot for crime dramas and noir films. His creative talent is evident in his eye for quality, and his penchant for originality is unmistakable. Park, a revered name in Chungmuro, gained notoriety for penning the screenplays for Kim Jee-woon’s I Saw the Devil (2010) and Ryoo Seung-wan’s The Unjust (2010). He achieved both critical and commercial success with his first two films, the historical saga The Showdown from 2011 and the gangster epic New World from 2013. The 77th Venice International Film Festival hosted the global premiere of his most recent criminal drama, Night in Paradise (2020), which received plaudits for its use of unconventional characters in an impressively intricate plot.

To all intents and purposes, with The Childe, Park will demonstrate a meticulously constructed plot with his signature high-caliber production standards and fluid storytelling. The film’s primary characters, some of whom are more morally questionable and flawed than normal, could correspond to the Korean noir film genre, but Park’s distinctive approach to portraying them might make them more intriguing. And even though The Childe seems bleak, you might still wish to explore the soiled roads of darkness that the director is expected to create with originality and style.

An Interesting Cast

In equal measure, the movie’s cast is noteworthy. It heralds the gorgeous Go Ara’s return from a protracted absence. Together with Kim Kang-woo, who is most known for his appearances in the erotic thriller film The Taste of Money (2012) and the police procedural thriller mystery action television series, The Missing (2015). Kang Tae-joo in the pivotal role of Marco will certainly be a revelation. Considering it’s an action-noir, can I anticipate a glimmer of romance between Kim Seon-ho and Go Ara? Let’s wait and see.

Kim Seon Ho Makes Birthday Donation To Support Children Leaving The Foster Care System

 

Kim Seon Ho Makes Birthday Donation To Support Children Leaving The Foster Care System

 

Kim Seon Ho has celebrated his birthday with a heartwarming donation!

 

On May 8, the Korean Red Cross announced that Kim Seon Ho donated 100 million won (approximately $75,700) from the proceeds of his fan meeting to help young people preparing to leave the foster care system.

 

Kim Seon Ho decided to sponsor youth preparing to leave the foster care system through a fan vote and chose to donate to the Korean Red Cross after learning about their initiatives for these adolescents.

 

At Kim Seon Ho’s request, the Korean Red Cross will use his donation for a program to help young people preparing to leave the foster care system develop self-reliance. The Korean Red Cross provides young people who have been aged out of the foster care system with psychological stabilization programs and customized supplies to give them a foundation for self-reliance.

 

Kim Seon Ho said, “This donation was made by fans. Thank you to the fans who are always with me. I hope this [donation] will be of some help to young people who have to stand alone.”

 

Korean Red Cross chairman Shin Hee Young stated, “Every year, about 2,500 young people are aged out of the foster care system and have to stand alone in the world, and in the past 3 years, around 20 of these young people committed suicide due to social apathy. We hope that young people who are experiencing psychological and economical difficulties will be able to stand on their own as members of the social community through our residential and emotional support programs.”

 

Last year, Kim Seon Ho also made generous donations to victims of the Pohang typhoon and to the Korea Childhood Leukemia Foundation.

Watch: Kim Seon Ho Is A Spooky Chaser Going After His Target Kang Tae Joo In Upcoming Film “The Childe”

Watch: Kim Seon Ho Is A Spooky Chaser Going After His Target Kang Tae Joo In Upcoming Film “The Childe”

 

Kim Seon Ho’s upcoming film “The Childe” has dropped a new poster and teaser!

Directed by Park Hoon Jung of hit films “New World,” “Night in Paradise,” and “The Witch” series, “The Childe” (originally titled “Sad Tropics”) follows the chaotic chase that ensues when the mysterious “Childe” (Kim Seon Ho), alongside several other forces, embarks on separate missions that all aim to pursue Marco (Kang Tae Joo), a boxer who travels from one illegal arena to another in the Philippines.

 

The newly released posters capture the urgent escape of boxer Marco, who suddenly becomes everyone’s target overnight, and “The Childe,” an unidentified chaser who makes everything around Marco turn into a mess. The posters of “The Childe” aiming a gun at his target with a leisurely expression as well as Marco desperately running away through a thick forest contrast with each other, foreshadowing a fierce chase after Marco.

The teaser, which was released along with the posters, kicks off with “The Childe” patiently waiting for someone to appear while listening to music. Viewers are kept glued to the screen as the teaser depicts the escape of Marco, who has become the target of mysterious figures without knowing why, as well as the chase led by “The Childe,” who hovers around Marco and ruins his surroundings, Executive Han (Kim Kang Woo), a second-generation chaebol client who persistently chases after Marco, and Yun Joo (Go Ara), a mysterious woman who keeps running into Marco by coincidence.

 

Toward the end of the clip, “The Childe” greets someone as he smiles, saying, “Hello, friend. I told you that I’ll see you soon, right?”

 

Watch the full teaser below!

 

 

“The Childe” will hit theaters on June 21.
