It started with an anonymous user in an online community accusing a rising star "K" of forcing her to abort their baby. People quickly connected it with actor Kim Seon-ho but it remained just rumors for a few days, until now that the star of tvN's romantic comedy "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" has admitted to coercing his ex-girlfriend into getting an abortion.
Kim Seon-ho made a public apology to his ex-girlfriend and fans for his own "carelessness". "I had dated her with affection, but I hurt her due to my carelessness and inconsiderate conduct," the actor said.
The actor also said that he wished he could apologize to his ex-girlfriend in person but as of now she is unreachable.
"I should have apologized to her in person. Nevertheless, I want to give an apology sincerely through this written statement. I'm sorry that I disappointed fans who have supported me constantly. And I want to apologize to my colleagues who have worked with me." (Yonhap)
This is the first statement the actor released after the rumor of the forced abortion went viral online.
