Actor Kim Seon-ho to make a public comeback with the live play 'Touching the Void'
Fans of Korean actor Kim Seon-ho have been deprived of seeing him on screen ever since he was embroiled in an abortion scandal back in 2021. Since the start of the controversy, his fans have stayed with the actor and ensured that he feels safe to make a reappearance online after it was revealed that his ex was gaslighting him by stirring up the controversy. After the scandal broke out, the actor made an exit from his long-running variety show '2 Days 1 Night' and took a hiatus from the entertainment industry.
Following the controversy, the actor was spotted by fans on numerous locations but due to the lack of new content from Kim Seon-ho, they were essentially left waiting for his big comeback. It seems like the time has finally arrived as it has been revealed he will be a part of the Korean dramatization of the international best-selling novel ‘Touching The Void’. Kim Seon-ho was seen in public after it was announced that he was preparing for the filming of his upcoming movie 'Sad Tropics' and also took over Twitter trends on his birthday. The actor also made his return to Instagram thanking fans for their support and love for him on his birthday back in May 2022.
