When Kim Seon Ho's controversy became an issue, one side of the story came out and I did not think it was something to be judged hastily. We were waiting until we heard the company's position.

From Jisoo to Seo Ye Ji and the latest and one of the most controversial, Kim Seon Ho.  I won't even talk about the cancel culture that we know is very strong in Korea. We already know that.

No matter what was thrown at him, they never pulled out their support. Before his ex-girlfriend posted on Nate, Kim was on a roll; a high rated drama which just finished, a successful variety show, multiple endorsement deals. And then it happened.
