    Actor Kim Seon-ho is currently running first in the popular vote of '2021 Asia Artist Awards' despite the controversy over his personal life.

    As of 7:10pm on the October 24, Kim Seon-ho is currently ranked first in the male actor category in the U+Idol Live Popularity Award voting held at the '2021 Asia Artist Awards'.

    Kim Seon-ho, who currently receives 77,289 votes, maintains the lead with a difference of 36,069 votes from second-placed Cha Eun-woo.

    The '2021 Asia Artist Awards', which will be held on December 2nd, selects winners based on big data targeting global fans and proceeds with a fairer and more transparent award. In particular, the ranking of the artists who have been active this year is decided by the popularity vote of the fans, and the popularity award is awarded to the artist who finished first in each category.

    Voting is divided into 1st and 2nd rounds, and you can vote on the website.

    The first round of voting begins on the October 22nd and runs until 11:59 pm on the 5th of November. Candidates for the second round of voting for each category are selected according to the number of votes collected, and the star with the most votes will be awarded Popularity Award at the AAA Awards according to the second round of voting held from early November to November 15.

    Despite the controversy over his personal life, Kim Seon-ho is maintaining the first place in the Popularity Award in the Male Actor category.

    On the other hand, last October 17, on an online community, an article titled 'I will expose the dual and shameless reality of popular actor K' was posted. Person A, who posted the post, claimed that she had been in a relationship with Actor K, and that Actor K encouraged an abortion and unilaterally announced the breakup.

    Netizens who saw this speculated that Actor K was Kim Seon-ho based on the contents of the post.

    As the controversy grew out of control, Kim Seon-ho made a statement through his agency. He did not specifically mention the allegations of abortion, but he said, "I met her with good feelings. In the process, I hurt her with my negligence and thoughtless actions."

    After that, it was reported that Kim Seon Ho and Ms. A had an apology conversation, and the case was closed.

  • BLACKPINK’s Jisoo Secretly Helped Her Friend Get a Role? Choi Hee Jin Reveals How Their Friendship Led to a Cameo in ‘Newtopia’

    Actress Choi Hee Jin, who impressed viewers with her performance in Motel California, opened up about her close friendship with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo — and how it led to her special cameo in Newtopia.

    Choi Hee Jin recently wrapped up her role as veterinarian Yoon Nan Woo in MBC’s Motel California, which ended on February 15th.

    The actress met with reporters on February 14 at her agency, Saram Entertainment, to talk about her busy schedule and her unexpected role in Newtopia.

    The actress revealed that her cameo in Newtopia happened because of her bond with Jisoo, who stars as the female lead in the drama.

    “Before I signed with my current agency, when I wasn’t with any company, I was offered the role of Jisoo unnie’s best friend in *Snowdrop. Even before the director contacted me, Jisoo unnie had already told me about it”, Choi Hee Jin shared.

    She added, “The director knew about the chemistry Jisoo unnie and I had in *Snowdrop*. Even though the role was very small, they asked if I would be willing to make a cameo in *Newtopia. It really is a tiny part”, she said, smiling shyly.

    The actress emphasized that the opportunity felt special because it reflected her real-life friendship with Jisoo. “There was really no one else but me who fit the role as her close friend, so they asked if I could do it. It’s a very small part, but I was happy to do it”, she said.

    Choi Hee Jin also shared how touched she was by the love she still receives for her past work with Jisoo.

    “Jisoo unnie personally reached out to me too, and we’re still very close. But more than anything, I was grateful that people still remember me from *Snowdrop. Since I made a special appearance this time, I’d love to ask Jisoo unnie to return the favor with a cameo in one of my future projects”, she said with a laugh.

    Fans are loving the sweet friendship between the two actresses — and many are already hoping to see them share the screen again in a bigger project!
