Kim Seon Ho’s loyal fandom has stuck beside him despite all odds and the ex-girlfriend scandal.

Even though he earned the awards, a source from his agency SALT Entertainment has stated that the actor will sit out the event.

“Kim Seon Ho had been contemplating attending the awards ceremony until recently but he decided it was too early to attend, so he [has] decided not to attend.”

The actor seems to be taking all his time and treading carefully after his personal life blew up in the public eye in October last month. Kim Seon Ho withdrew as the fixed cast member on 2 Days & 1 Night. Multiple brands dropped him from their current and future endorsements, while two movies removed him from their cast too.

With all eyes on Kim Seon Ho and the ex-girlfriend, the misunderstandings were clarified as both apologized publicly. Soon after his apology, Dispatch released text conversations between the former couple, further cementing the fans’ stance about the actor being innocent.
