Kim Seon-ho replaced in 2 films by actors Ahn Bo-hyun and Lee Hyun-woo after scandal
It looks like despite Kim Seon-ho being cleared of the gaslighting rumors, he is still not ready to return to the industry. In back-to-back reports, it was revealed on December 14 that he has been replaced by actors Ahn Bo-hyun and Lee Hyun-woo in two different films. Earlier in October, Kim Seon-ho was under fire for allegedly manipulating his ex-girlfriend and forcing her to get an abortion. The general public and the industry turned their backs on him, dropping him from projects. Fortunately, the rumors turned out to be false and the actor’s name was cleared.
It was also reported that Kim Seon-ho had returned to acting with the script reading of his first film ‘Sad Tropics’. The promising actor had been the lead in the popular K-drama ‘Hometown Cha Cha Cha’ and during that time had landed his first three movie projects. Unfortunately, on the day of the finale, the abortion rumors cropped up. A lot of fans banded together when loopholes were found and also helped him win two popularity awards at the 2021 Asia Artist Awards.

A media outlet stated that he had been offered Seon-ho’s role in 'Dog Days' and he had accepted.
