    Actor Kim Seon Ho is leaving the KBS 2TV entertainment program '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4 '.

    On October 20, an official from '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4 ' said, "We have decided on the withdrawal of Kim Seon Ho, who was recently involved in a controversy. We plan to minimize the inconvenience felt by the viewers by editing him out of the already filmed footage"

    Kim Seon Ho, who stayed silent on the scandal that broke out this past weekend, finally issued a statement of apology earlier today. As the actor publicly acknowledged and apologized for what he had done, his upcoming projects were put on alert.

    Originally, Kim planned to make his big-screen debut with director Park Hoon Jung’s Sad Tropics. Afterwards, he was confirmed to star in two other movies, the omnibus movie Dog Days and rom-com 2 O’Clock Date with YoonA.

    However, with the recent scandal, his appearance in all three movies has become unclear. According to Starnews, Kim has not yet signed contracts for all three films.

    First, Sad Tropic was supposed to start filming in November. Hence, the crew will hold a final meeting soon to decide whether to replace Kim or to continue filming with him. Dog Days and 2 O’Clock Date are scheduled to officially begin filming in December and March next year, respectively. These two movies have already decided to replace their leading actor.

  • Hwanhee’s Agency Hits Back Against Shocking Claims of Favoritism on ‘King of Singers Season 2’—Vows to Defend His Reputation

    Hwanhee's agency, BT Entertainment, is firing back after serious fairness allegations were raised regarding the popular show ‘King of Singers Season 2’. They’ve denied all accusations and promised strong legal action for defamation.

    On February 5th, the agency issued a statement through their official fan cafe, saying, “We want to correct the false claims.”

    They explained that Hwanhee was initially approached to join the show in August 2024 by the production team. However, after checking with the event planning company, Dion Communication, they confirmed Hwanhee had no connection to the show or any related performances.

    Despite this, the agency pointed out that certain media outlets published unverified articles, wrongly suggesting that Hwanhee’s involvement could compromise the fairness of the program.

    BT Entertainment was quick to defend their artist, stressing the damage done to both Hwanhee's reputation and the agency itself due to these false claims. They added, "This has caused great harm to Hwanhee, who joined the program after careful consideration."

    The statement didn’t stop there. BT Entertainment made it clear that they won’t stand for any further defamation. They said, “We are taking legal action against these baseless reports” and emphasized their commitment to protecting Hwanhee from any further harm.

    They also reassured their fans, stating, “We will take swift action against any future misinformation to avoid any further harm to Hwanhee and his supporters.”

    This controversy started after a media outlet raised concerns on January 23rd about Hwanhee’s participation in the show. The report claimed that BT Entertainment’s CEO, who is also a director at Dion Communication, had invested 1.1 billion KRW in the ‘King of Singers Season 2’ concert, leading to suspicions of favoritism towards certain contestants.

    In the meantime, ‘King of Singers Season 2’ continues its intense competition, with Hwanhee making it to the semifinals. Fans are watching closely as he currently holds 1st place in the first round of the semifinals, cementing his position as a strong contender to represent Korea in the Korea-Japan King of Kings battle.
