Actor Ji Soo, one of the renowned actors in South Korea, came to an abrupt halt after getting caught up in controversy. Read to know more about the trajectory from the South Korean showbiz industry to being part of the Philippines television.

Actor Ji Soo was once known as the beloved "second lead" of several popular K-dramas. He first gained widespread recognition through the 2015 drama Angry Mom, and his popularity continued to soar thanks to his intense performances, distinctive deep voice, and memorable roles in hit series such as Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo and Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. With a growing international fanbase and a promising career ahead, Ji Soo seemed destined for greater success. However, his journey took an unexpected turn. What led to his disappearance from South Korean television? And how did the actor find a new beginning in the Philippines? Here's a closer look at Ji Soo's rise, fall, and attempt at rebuilding his career. Ji Soo's debut and rise in South Korean showbiz industry Before entering showbiz industry, Ji Soo was a judo athlete and competed at national level before giving up due to injuries, as per the reports. He trained as an actor at the agency JYP Entertainment in 2012. He made his debut in acting on stage in 2009 and has starred in several short films, including a leading role in the Korean-Filipino independent film Seoul Mates.

He has also been part of several other popular shows, in which he played the second lead, who had to give up on the female lead. They are Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2017), Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016), Doctors (2016) and Cheer Up/Sassy Go Go (2015). In addition, he next starred in crime drama Bad Guys 2. Followed by Ji Soo being cast in JTBC's drama special Ping Pong Ball in 2018 and Netflix's youth romance drama My First First Love as well. In 2020, Ji Soo signed a contract with KeyEast. What was the controversy of Ji Soo all about? The whole controversy blew up when a girl anonymously uploaded a post on an online community titled ‘Actor Ji Soo is a school violence perpetrator’ on March 2, 2021. The former classmate opened up about the actor’s violent and bullying behaviour in school, which made him and many others suffer through traumatic experiences. While he admitted to some of the bullying and stepped down from his lead role in the k-drama River Where the Moon Rises, he denied the more severe sexual assault claims.

Because my client has spent time silently repenting, [the public] seems to regard everything as true,” he explained. His mid-series departure from River Where the Moon Rises forced the production company, Victory Contents, to reshoot episodes with a replacement actor. Following a lawsuit, a Seoul court ruled that his former agency, KeyEast, had to pay approximately $1 million in damages for the production losses. For the unversed, in the River Where the Moon Rises, Ji Soo was supposed to play the lead role of On Dal. Due to controversy, he was completely replaced by actor Na In Woo from episode 9. Rebuilding a career in Philippines After the controversy, Ji Soo has been residing and working in the Philippines since late 2023. After stepping away from the South Korean entertainment industry, he signed with GMA Network's talent agency Sparkle, and since then has been actively acting in Philippine television and film. He guest starred in the action-drama Black Rider, which premiered on November 6, 2023, on the network's Telebabad lineup. The series concluded on July 26, 2024, with a total of 188 episodes. The series is currently streaming online on YouTube. He also played a recurring role in the medical drama Abot-Kamay na Pangarap.

It premiered on February 2, 2026, and concluded on May 22, 2026, with 78 episodes. The show is streaming on YouTube. Apart from series, Ji Soo has also been part of reality shows including Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition, which is the third celebrity season and the eighteenth overall season of the Philippine reality show Pinoy Big Brother. Also Read: Why are Naver Webtoons becoming South Korea's hottest source for k-drama content? Will Ji Soo be able to return to the South Korean showbiz industry? For many k-drama viewers, who have watched him in the shows, many have rooted for him one time to be a lead and get his happily ever after in the shows. Be it for his emotional moments with the female lead, screen presence or charm, he is still one of the most recognisable young stars. Whether Ji Soo eventually returns to mainstream South Korean dramas remains uncertain. What is clear, however, is that the actor who once seemed destined for stardom is still searching for a place in an industry that rarely offers easy second chances.
