On December 4, according to South Korean media reports, 35-year-old South Korean actor Kim Seon-hu became popular for playing the role of "Hong Banchang" in the hit drama "Coast Village Cha cha cha", and then his career was in the sky. But in October of this year, he was exposed by his ex-girlfriend to some private life controversy. Afterwards, the South Korean media released the chat records of the two, exposing the bad motives of the ex-girlfriend, and the storm turned to Kim Seon-hu.
It is understood that Kim Seon-ho originally took over three films and prepared to enter the big screen, but now only director Park Hoon-jeong's new work "Sad Tropics" is determined to start shooting, and he participated in the script meeting of the film today, which is also the first time he has entered the working state after a gap of 1 and a half months. South Korean media reported: "The reason why the film has not changed the male lead, in addition to the trust and single-mindedness of director Park Hoon-jeong, Kim Seon-hu also hopes to use the film to fight a turnaround battle, insisting on encountering storms and not escaping the attitude of being brave to face." ”
In the case of the continuous fermentation of private life controversy, the investors of the two films that had to participate in the performance, "2 O'Clock Dating" and "Dog Days", temporarily changed his role, and the investors of "Sad Tropics" are still hesitating and have not yet made a decision on whether Jin Xuanhu will participate in the performance or not. According to media reports, there have been rumors in the South Korean entertainment industry that "if it is director Park Hoon-jeong, it may be replaced according to the original selection of Kim Seon-ho."
In the end, the facts confirmed that this rumor was true. At that time, the investor had found an actor who was similar to Jin Xuanhu's age to take over, but after all-round measurement, it finally decided to use Jin Xuanhu. According to JTBC News, "Kim Seon-hu, who did not leave his home after issuing an apology statement, met directly with director Park Hoon-jeong and communicated openly and honestly."
Jin Xuanhu also mentioned that he was very distressed about the consequences of his own affairs and hoped to clean up the mess, so he finally decided to perform and did not escape. It's just that Jin Xuanhu has never been on the big screen in the past, "Sad Tropics" is his first film work, and the role he plays is also a villain who is very different from the past image, whether he can win the audience's love remains to be tested.
It is understood that "Sad Tropics" will start filming on the 10th of this month and be released next year. Plagued by the pandemic, it is still unknown whether the film can be released in theaters after it is made. A senior critic in the Korean film industry analyzed: "Although the film is the best script released in theaters, it may also be listed on the online platform. The "Voice Clues" previously released by the distribution company and Park Hoon-jeong's previous work "Night Heaven" were all published on Netflix", and "Sad Tropics" does not rule out seeking multiple broadcast channels to reduce losses.
"Sad Tropics" tells the story of a teenager with a Korean father and a Filipino mother who dreams of becoming a boxer and returns to South Korea to find his father. The role is played by Kang Tae-joo, an idol trainee in the Korean drama "Missing: They Existed", who also stood out from the sea selection of nearly 2,000 people and won the favor of director Park Hoon-jeong. Jin Xuanhu interprets the male brother who is also good and evil, and is a character full of mysteries.
