Kim Seon-Ho regains projects following scandal

2 Nov – He was on the rise, he was cancelled, and he is now on the rise again, as it was revealed that Kim Seon-Ho has now regained all of the projects he lost due to his previous abortion scandal.

As reported on Chosun, the actor, whose fate with new movie, "Sad Tropics" (working title) was hanging in the balance, was recently revealed to have not been fired from the project.

The production company expressed in a statement that they have made the decision to continue the film with Kim after much deliberation instead of finding his replacement.

The "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" star previously found himself dragged into a scandal after his ex-girlfriend alleged on the internet that Kim had forced her to have an abortion under false pretenses.

However, following Kim's apology, Korean news outlet Dispatch released two articles that chronicled the series of events that took place between Kim and his ex-girlfriend, with the other party being portrayed as the one who has been using Kim all along.
