'Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha' Star Kim Seon Ho Admits to Allegations and Apologizes
On October 17 through an online community, an article was posted by an anonymous person "A" exposing the reality and subhuman behavior of a rising actor under the name "Actor K."
During the time of their relationship, the said actor reportedly coerced his ex-girlfriend to abort their unborn baby, which was illegal at the time, under the pretense of marriage.
"A" said in their post that the two of them had dated from the beginning of 2020 and became pregnant in July of the same year. After they aborted their baby, said "Actor K" changed and became distant, eventually breaking up with her.
Many speculations were made and hints were clearly pointing at the "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" star and "Good Boy" Kim Seon Ho.
However, Kim Seon Ho's side remained silent until the morning of October 19 when his label, SALT Entertainment, released a statement addressing the matter.
