Kim Seon Ho has officially joined Fantagio, but his unexpected decision has the industry buzzing!

On March 1, Fantagio announced, “We have signed an exclusive contract with Kim Seon Ho.” They continued, “He is a beloved actor with solid acting skills and a unique charm."

They added, "We will fully support him so he can shine in various projects. Please continue to show your love and support for Kim Seon Ho as he joins the Fantagio family.”

But many were shocked by this news! Just recently, rumors were strong that Kim Seon Ho was going to sign with HighZium Studio, the agency of Song Joong Ki.

Some media outlets even reported it as a done deal. So why did he suddenly switch to Fantagio, the agency of Cha Eun Woo?

This sudden change has sparked speculation that Fantagio made an irresistible offer. According to industry insiders, Kim Seon Ho received a massive signing bonus—over 2 billion KRW (around $1.5 million)!

Reports suggest that Fantagio needed a new leading star, especially with Cha Eun Woo preparing for military enlistment, and they were willing to go all out to secure Kim Seon Ho.

Normally, exclusive contracts don’t come with such huge bonuses these days, which shows just how valuable Kim Seon Ho is to Fantagio.

But did he really change his mind because of the money? Fans are now debating whether this was a smart career move or just a big business deal.

What do you think—was this a power move by Fantagio or a betrayal of HighZium?

Kim Soo Hyun’s recent controversy is now affecting his appearance on MBC’s Good Day, with some viewers demanding that he leave the show.

On March 12, a post titled "ㄱㅅㅎ should step down" appeared on the viewer feedback section of Good Day, sparking discussion online.

The post’s author wrote, "G-Dragon’s show is supposed to be for fun, so what’s this controversy with ㄱㅅㅎ? He should voluntarily step down," directly calling for Kim Soo Hyun’s removal from the program.

Good Day is a music project variety show led by G-Dragon, where he collaborates with well-known figures from different fields to create a song representing the year. Kim Soo Hyun, who shares the same birth year as G-Dragon, was added to the show as part of the ’88 line, winning fans over with his friendly and lighthearted image.

However, things took a turn when Kim Soo Hyun became embroiled in controversy regarding allegations of a past romantic relationship with the late Kim Sae Ron when she was still a minor. While his agency strongly denied the claims, calling them "false information," additional photos showing affectionate moments between the two—such as a cheek kiss—along with text messages sent by Kim Sae Ron, have only fueled the public’s doubts.

Although the viewer feedback post did not mention his full name, Kim Soo Hyun is the only cast member whose initials match "ㄱㅅㅎ," making it clear that the post was referring to him.

Meanwhile, Kim Soo Hyun is also set to star in Disney+’s upcoming drama Knock-Off, with the first season scheduled to be released soon. However, with his controversy continuing to spread, even Knock-Off is facing growing concerns.
