"The Childe" is Kim Seon Ho's official comeback to show business, following his year long hiatus due to the controversial incident back in 2021. The actor experienced a slump in his career after brands dropped him from various endorsements.

"I don't know how director Park Hoon Jung felt, but I personally feel sorry and am thankful at the same time," he said, adding that he also felt "a lot of complicated emotions" at the time due to the controversy.
Moreover, apart from "The Childe" director, he is also thankful to Studio And New company and their CEO, Jang Kyung Ik, who told him that they planned to cast him "until the end" as long as Kim Seon Ho was okay with it.
Besides the South Korean heartthrob, "The Childe" cast includes Kang Tae Joo as a Filipino-Korean amateur boxer, Marco, Kim Kang Woo, and Go Ah Ra as lead stars.
Kim Seon Ho's new movie will be released on June 21 with a runtime of 1 hour and 58 minutes.
