While international fans tend to know Kim Seon-ho best for his acting work, with his having a breakout role as the second lead in "Start Up" followed by a leading role in "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" last year, the respondents to the poll were most likely thinking of his work in variety shows. Kim Seon-ho has been on hiatus the last nine months. The cause has been a scandal where an ex-girlfriend accused Kim Seon-ho of bullying her into having an abortion.

Kim Seon-ho acknowledged the substance of the complaints and apologized to the ex-girlfriend. Purportedly, she accepted his apology. Kim Seon-ho is making his return via stage with Touching the Void, a play about mountaineering that's based on the book of the same title. The play started this past July 8th, with Kim Seon-ho first appearing in the July 9th performance at the Art One Theater in Seoul. It is not known if or when Kim Seon-ho will return to screen acting.
