However, mixed reactions poured out over the show’s choice. Some agreed with the crew’s choice to erase traces of the actor who got swept up in a scandal over his personal life. On the other hand, some questioned whether it was really necessary to edit him out completely.

After the broadcast, some viewers expressed their disappointment on the viewer’s bulletin board. They write posts with titles like “Please take back your decision to remove Kim Seon Ho” or “It’s not like he’s a criminal. You guys went too far.”

Meanwhile, Kim Seon Ho has been embroiled in controversy over his personal life. It caused a stir when the actor’s ex revealed that he tricked her into thinking that he would marry her and even encouraged her to get an abortion.
