Actor Kim Seon Ho, who was engulfed in privacy controversy, will not attend the awards ceremony.

According to AtStyle on November 30th, Kim Seon Ho will not attend the '2021 Asia Artist Awards' (2021 AAA) to be held on December 2nd.

An official from Kim Seon Ho's side told the media, "Kim Seon Ho had been contemplating attending the awards ceremony until recently, but decided it was too early to attend."

At the '2021 AAA', Kim Seon Ho won the 'RET Popularity Award' in the male actor category and the 'U+Idol Live Popularity Award' twice.

In the award category determined by online fan voting, Kim Seon Ho took first place early, so the award was certain, and interest in whether to attend or not was gathered.

However, it seems that Kim Seon Ho has decided that it is still burdensome to appear in front of the public, as he has recently stopped working due to controversy over his privacy.

In October, Kim Seon Ho was embroiled in a privacy controversy, such as asking his ex-girlfriend to have an abortion.

The revealer complained that she had been dating Kim Seon Ho since last year and even got pregnant, but had no choice but to have an abortion due to Kim Seon Ho's insistence.

However, as the content of the message she had with her ex-girlfriend was reported, public opinion toward Kim Seon Ho was reversed, and advertisements that had been suspended were resumed.

Kim Seon Ho also got off before filming in some works, but he decided to continue his appearance in the movie 'Sad Tropical', his first screen debut, and is about to start filming on December 10th. 

Singer Steve Yoo (Yoo Seung Jun), who has been banned from entering South Korea for over two decades, continues to express his love for the country and his desire to return.

On March 21, Yoo Seung Jun posted a video on his personal account along with a cryptic caption, saying, “When one door closes, another opens. When one door opens, another closes.”

He continued, “Just because a door has opened doesn’t mean I should leave, and just because one is closed doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try to open it. I am simply walking the path my father told me to take. Whether people acknowledge it or not no longer matters to me.”

His hashtags also caught attention, as he included “I love you,” “Bless you,” “South Korea,” “Loved ones,” “Everything will be okay,” and “Korea.” Fans couldn’t help but wonder if he was once again hinting at his hope to return.

Just a few days earlier, on March 18, Yoo Seung Jun had also posted a nostalgic message about his time in South Korea.

He wrote, “December 7, 1989—13 years old (1st year of middle school). The school I attended until the day before I immigrated to the U.S. in Songpa-gu, Oju Middle School, is still the same.”

Along with his message, he shared a video of the school's walls and playground, revealing, “One of my fans filmed my middle school, which I attended until I left for the U.S., and sent me the video.”

The clip also showed scenes of his elementary school, making fans reminisce about his past in Korea.

Yoo Seung Jun was one of the most popular artists in South Korea during the 1990s, but his career took a sharp turn in 2002 when he unexpectedly left for the U.S., renounced his Korean citizenship, and became a U.S. citizen.

This led to widespread backlash, as many saw it as an attempt to evade mandatory military service. As a result, the South Korean government banned him from entering the country.

Since then, he has repeatedly taken legal action in hopes of lifting the ban. Now, with his continued efforts and heartfelt messages about Korea, many are wondering—will he finally be allowed back after 23 years?
