Exactly. This has nothing to do with his professional life and now he is almost blacklisted.

Extremely sad to hear that he will be dropping out of 2D1N.
I didn't want to marry him, I am just a fan of his acting, entertainment value and hardwork. This has nothing to do with his professional life. The character crucifixion is insane. Like we ever got his account of the story, he's not in the position to make it because people will shame him for saying anything against the girl.
People here are judging morality of other people that don't agree with them when all we have in this case is a vivid account of a failed relationship from the point of view of a jilted lover.

You can choose not to see his face and that's your own choice. All those are your assumptions of what is happening.
We will never have his account of the story and he can never give his account as vividly as hers because he will be shamed to blame the victim.

I still maintain my stance. He has apologized but her account was still a one sided rant of a failed relationship.
I understand her agony but accountability of the failing relationship is missing on her part.
I am sure they both made mistakes. If he was not ready for the baby and she wanted she could've gone ahead and had it. He convinced her and she got convinced. They shouldn't have had unprotected sex and that is both of their fault. I didn't think I would get pregnant is not a reasonable excuse.
And his badmouthing is taken out of context. And that I don't agree with it at all. We all come home and rant about our day and opinions. If they are taken out of context it can be misinterpreted.
I am watching him in 2D1N for a long time and no one can fake their personality 90% of the times.
I am still his fan and want to see him in other projects and 2D1N.

Probably he does because I have seen him using it on 2D1N. But what he posts still has to be in agreement with his current agency. They have to be together in it.

I see. My bad. no issues.

as if things bad enough, then spiraling down a lot. someone said that Seon Ho is still in an advantageous position since his contract expiry came into picture. But then I just want some company to see the opportunity, sign him up and sue both Salt Ent. and the perpetrator if the claims are false.

yeah, this is another thing that doesn't really match with KSH's background. He's an only child and born in Seoul and he himself never claimed he had a difficult upbringing. He has rather claimed many times on 2D1N that he rather had a very caring, abundant and loving upbringing. Given SK's toxic competitive culture and the student suicide rates, he was allowed to pursue theatre to his liking.

Even if south korea is conservative, it is still a first world country. And it is also less likely that this woman is poor or uninformed(SK being a highly educated country). I can imagine her agony but it's also not a viable claim that she agreed because he promised to marry her. She doesn't even claim they broke up immediately. There is a failing from both sides when a relationship doesn't work out.
I am not even from a first world country but I wouldn't let my partner / husband have unprotected sex if both of us are not okay to face the consequences of it.
I didn't say forced pregnancy is okay if you pay for it. I agree that would be a misogynist claim.
Given all that she wrote in the account and how much of a jerk he is portrayed to be, it doesn't fit that he would act responsibly in this one thing. And if it was all gaslighting for the start, then why would he even pay her or have her accompanied by someone. It seems like the feelings were genuine at that point and it failed in the end which can also happen.
Even though I am feminist per say ( Keeping its negative connotation aside)I really have difficulties in empathizing with the whole account. The agony and mental toll is understandable but there is still an accountability on her side as well. I don't see why I am not accountable for my ignorance if I am perfectly educated person.

Yup, like keep KSH aside, just an some other actor, like is this really something that should be held against him in his professional career? Isn't it just his private life?
Abortion can't be forced. She could've very well decided to kept the baby and then how can you blame the other person for not keeping their promises. It was a failed relationship precisely for that right. To keep the baby or not is the decision of both the people involved. And why would you go for unprotected sex? There is choice there. It's not a rape. Just because you didn't think you would get pregnant and then blame the other person for making you pregnant. How does that work? And even if we know just one sided story, and no matter how much of a jerk this person is painted to be, he still paid for the abortion and had the girl accompanied by someone if he couldn't go himself. That is still what a responsible person would do.
Workplace gossip: Like that is so out of context. When there are workplace issues you do come home and rant about them. Doesn't mean that they are always correct but we share our personal opinions to our closed ones. And it's so horrific that those out of context things should be held against you as a testimony for character judgement.
He has the right to want out of the relationship and the reasons are just private to them. This is more like one side's account of a failed relationship and accusation that they shouldn't have moved on so fast and shouldn't be successful because your relationship with them didn't work out.
There is no rape, homicide, drug trafficking and abuse etc. etc and still it is influential enough to destroy his career in that country.

Ahhh..... really wish this would resolve quickly....as if things were going too perfectly for him....I would feel terribly sorry for him if all this is not related to him...I want to keep seeing him in 2D1N. Really worried about coming Sunday's broadcast.

He has been popular over a year now though...hw received the popularity award even before HCCC.... just saying.

I agree with the points you stated whether this is him or anyone else for that matter.
About the gossip or character part in general, you will always have people who will interpret things very differently and with not much evidence at all, they 'just felt it' and you are supposed to take responsibility for their feelings. In the end if your opinions don't align with them they will badmouth you.
I was once shocked when at workplace my superior asked me to tone down because a junior complained that he felt belittled when his objectification of women was called out by me at the lunch table. I was stumped.

I really love seeing him in 2D1N every week!!!! I don't want anything being cancelled unless there's evidence.

Ahh yes, I agree on the muted crying part. That feels more realistic and actually that was needed perhaps in that scene ( like KMS's soundless tears when he was talking with his Hyung's kid Ha rang or when he was imagining his conversion with his hyung at the beach) instead of those fake sounds ( not to be disrespectful but her emotional scenes were a bit off putting for me).

Just my opinion, but exactly this scene was so off. Her crying felt so fake. As a character I feel for Hye Jin but in that scene I just felt, what is with SMA!!. And in the same episode we have some exceptional emotional scenes from Kang I-Jun small boy and Kim Seon Ho.

I have concluded that SMA 's acting in this drama is at best average or below par at times. I know she's a good actress but I can also see that when put up with better and seasoned theatre actors she actually comes across as lackluster. First I thought may be it was Hye Jin's character but sorry, it was actually SMA's portrayal. I actually came in being SMA's fan but quite disappointed at the end of it. She hasn't acted bad, but she is just easily overshadowed by how stellar the other actors are. Given how natural Kim Seon Ho is, the contrast is highlighted even more.

Totally agreed. i am very satisfied with the full picture of his trauma and even what it was like for the other characters is suffered from loss. People are just making too much of the apology part. Yes, apology is needed but most often than not people don't apologise at the right place at the right time or never ever. Off topic, but even great Britain never apologised to countries it colonized.😅😅

Phew, I am not the only one! I went into the drama being both of their fan but came out only being Kim Seon Ho's fan and even bigger than before. To me SMA was a bit lackluster especially in the later episodes. And it's especially noticeable because KSH is totally natural and absolutely brilliant. She isn't bad per say but is easily overshadowed. After all most theatre actors are really good actors but drama actors have limited range and less spontaneity.

Although technically there's still one more episode to go, I want to say that I came out of this drama as an even bigger Seon Ho fan than when I started. He was absolutely remarkable from start to end. Award worthy performance. On the other hand, SMA was a bit lackluster and couldn't pull off some of the situations even though she has a vast acting experience. She wasn't bad but just average.
I guess theatre actors actually have an edge over drama/movie actors. Hence, Seon Ho's acting was just amply realistic and engaging.
Kim Seon Ho is having this trend of actually overshadowing the people alongside him. It happened in Start Up like a whitewash and then even in Homecha.
