In regard to all the allegations, Kim Seon Ho's agency, Fantagio, issued a statement as per Korea JoongAng Daily, according to South China Morning Post. It stated, "Kim Seon Ho is currently carrying out his activities under an exclusive contract signed with Fantagio in his personal capacity, and he is complying with all legal and tax procedures with regard to the current contractual relationship activities. There are no issues whatsoever regarding the contract or activities between Kim Seon Ho and his agency, Fantagio."
Kim Seon Ho's past controversy
Prior to the allegations of tax evasion, Kim Seon Ho got dragged into a controversy in October 2021, in which an ex-girlfriend of his made allegations on a Korean internet forum that the actor had coerced her into getting an abortion while the two were dating. Following the reported accusation, Kim had to issue a public apology through his agency. Kim stepped down from the permanent cast of the KBS variety show 2 Days & 1 Night and subsequently withdrew from the film projects Dog Days and Pretty Crazy.
Reportedly, in the same year, Kim's ex-girlfriend issued a new statement revealing that Kim had apologised to her personally; she also stated that there had been misunderstandings between them and expressed remorse at causing unintentional damage. As per reports, on October 26, 2021, a South Korean media outlet published evidence challenging the accusations of Kim's ex-girlfriend, citing sources from close acquaintances of both parties; the report concluded that the decision to abort was mutual, that Kim had been supportive throughout the process, and that the pair had broken up the following year due to questionable circumstances involving the ex-girlfriend.
