Kim Seon Ho Declines to Star in Historical Drama 'Haesi's Shinru' – Here’s Why
Kim Seon Ho will not be headlining the upcoming historical K-drama "Haesi's Shinru."
It's a sad news for Kim Seon Ho's fans - Seonhohadas - as the actor officially declined the offer to star in a webtoon-based series.
To recall, in October 2022, the South Korean heartthrob received an offer to have his K-drama comeback with a historical drama series. At the time, his agency shared that he was positively considering the offer to play the role of Crown Prince.
Why Did Kim Seon Ho Decline the Offer to Star in 'Haesi's Shinru'?
According to a media outlet, the actor's label, Salt Entertainment, that after discussion with the production company, they "ultimately reached an agreement" that Kim Seon Ho will not be participating in the series and decided to decline the offer.
If the actor accepted the offer, this would have been his K-drama comeback, two years after headlining the hit series "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" with Shin Min Ah.
As for his supposed-to-be series, the historical K-drama is set under King Sejeong's reign and follows the story of Crown Prince Lee Hyang. Besides his royal status, he is also known as a genius scientist who loves stargazing.
However, his world turned upside down after meeting Hae Ru, a mysterious woman who can predict the future.
"Haesi's Shinru" is based on the webtoon of the same name and penned by the creator of "Love in the Moonlight."
