There’s a news this morning reported that our Seon Ho refused to have any activities other than the shooting of <슬픈 열대> this year and declined to accept any new advertising offers or contract renewal with the existing brand endorsements…
In view of the personality of our Seon Ho, I think none of us is surprised to his reaction and decision… Believing you merely don’t want to affect the shooting plan of <슬픈 열대> which involves many crew, staff and actors, that you decided to film as scheduled, while at the same time, you are still blaming yourself & think that you are responsible for all those stuff happened… 😢
Even though all these things happened & basically Seon Ho is on hiatus currently, there are still many new advertising offers granted, contract renewal of the current endorsements, as well as the Fan Meeting proposals.. Seon Ho ahhh… many people all over the world indeed trust, love and support you so much… though I’m sad to read this news, I do respect and understand your decision.. as this is really the Seon Ho we know and love as always… a kind, responsible, talented person.. Please stay safe and healthy, take your time and simply follow your own pace, we would be waiting patiently for your come back and trust we can see your smiling faces again at that time~!😘💙⭐️
오늘 아침 우리 선호가<슬픈 열대> 의 영화 촬영 외에는 다른 활동을 거부했다는 소식이 전해졌습니다. 그는 또한 기존의 브랜드에 대한 새로운 광고 제안이나 재계약을 거절했습니다…
우리 선호의 성격상 그의 반응과 결정에 놀라지 않는 사람이 없는 것 같습니다…. 제작진, 스태프, 배우들이 많이 참여하는 촬영 계획에 영향을 끼치고 싶지 않아 예정대로 촬영을 결정하셨다고 믿습니다… 동시에 당신은 여전히 자신을 비난하고 있고, 일어난 모든 일들에 대해 당신이 책임이 있다고 생각합니다….😢
비록 이 모든 일들이 일어났고 기본적으로 선호는 현재 휴간 중이지만, 팬 미팅 제안뿐만 아니라, 여전히 많은 새로운 광고 제안이 있습니다. 선호야… 전 세계의 많은 사람들이 정말로 당신을 많이 신뢰하고 사랑하고 지지합니다…. 비록 나는 이 뉴스를 읽는 것이 슬프지만, 나는 당신의 결정을 존중하고 이해합니다… 왜냐하면 이게 정말 우리가 알고 사랑하는 선호이기 때문입니다. 친절하고 책임감 있고 재능 있는 사람이에요.. 안전하고 건강하게 지내세요. 천천히 하세요.. 그냥 당신만의 속도를 따라가세요. 우리는 인내심을 가지고 당신이 돌아오기를 기다릴 것이고 우리는 그때 당신의 웃는 얼굴을 다시 볼 수 있다고 믿습니다~! 😘💙⭐️

Finally there are news officially announced this morning regarding the replacements chosen for another 2 movies – <Dog Days> & <2 O’clock>. When I read the news from Naver this morning, actually I didn’t feel sad as I already expected previously that there would be replacements for these 2 movies, merely waiting for the official announcements issued from their production teams.
To be frank, when there were news regarding the 3 movie offers granted to our Seon Ho few months ago, the one that I have the greatest expectation is <슬픈 열대> by Director Park Hoon Jung. Since this movie must be the most challenging one & Seon Ho could have a chance to show a totally different acting & images through the big screen, besides, we all know that Seon Ho admires Director Park very much and he’s even a big fan of Director Park’s film <New World>, believe that it must be a great honour to him to work with this Director. Another 2 movie offers are good too, especially for <Dog Days>, I was quite excited to know at that time as there’s an opportunity for Seon Ho to work at the same film with Youn Yuh Jung, the latest Academy Awardee for Best Supporting Actress. However, comparatively, the genres of these 2 movies are quite similar to those Seon Ho already participated in, and the public already recognized that he has the capability and skills in portraying these kinds of roles, which are relatively safe choices.
From my perspective, the biggest loss for losing these 2 movies would be the chance to work with an experienced and fabulous Actress, Youn Yuh Jung. While at the same time, I believe God has a perfect plan for us. Thanks again for the final decision made by the movie investors and Director Park to keep our Seon Ho in the movie. Seon Ho ahh.. <슬픈 열대> is meant to you and it is great that you can devote all your energy and time to prepare and film this movie, your big screen debut project, without distractions.
The most important thing is, we didn’t lose you. As long as you don’t give up on yourself, nothing is over and there will always be new opportunities. I have confidence in your talent and professionalism, & trust that in view of what you have demonstrated in the previous plays and dramas, the related parties in the entertainment industry of South Korea do have such confidence in you too. Your works speak. You don’t have to bother facing the public at this moment. Let’s bring a marvelous work to the world and prove that you are really well deserved the recognition and show that your participation is definitely a valuable asset to the projects.

오늘 아침 드디어 <도그데이즈>과 <2시의 데이트>라는 또 다른 두 편의 영화의 배우 교체 선택을 확정 짓는 공식 뉴스가 발표되었습니다. 오늘 아침에 네이버에서 뉴스를 봤을 때 사실 저는 이 두 영화에 배우 교체자가 있을 거라고 미리 예상했기 때문에 슬프지 않았어요. 저희는 단지 그들의 제작팀으로부터 공식 발표가 있기만을 기다리고 있었습니다.
솔직히 몇 달 전 우리 선호님에게 3편의 영화 제의를 했다는 소식이 전해졌을 때 제가 가장 기대하는 것은 박훈정 감독님의 <슬픈 열대>입니다. 왜냐하면 이 영화가 가장 도전적인 영화일 것이고 우리 선호는 큰 스크린을 통해 완전히 다른 연기와 이미지를 보여줄 수 있는 기회를 가질 수 있을 것입니다. 또한 선호이 박감독님의 영화 <신세계>의 열렬한 팬이라는 것을 우리 모두 알고 있고 박감독님과 함께 일하게 된 것을 매우 영광스럽게 생각할 것입니다. 또 다른 2편의 영화 제안도 좋은데 특히 <도그데이즈>의 경우 이번에 아카데미 여우조연상 수상자인 윤여정 배우님 여우주연상과 같은 작품에 출연할 수 있는 선호의 기회가 있다는 것을 알고는 무척 흥분했습니다. 다만 이 두 영화의 장르는 앞서 우리 선호이 참여했던 프로젝트들과 상당히 비슷합니다. 대중들은 이미 그가 이러한 역할을 연기할 수 있는 능력과 기술을 가지고 있다는 것을 알고 있습니다. 이러한 영화에 참여하는 것을 선택하는 것은 사실 비교적 안전한 선택입니다.
제가 볼 때 이 두 영화를 잃는 가장 큰 손실은 경험 많고 멋진 윤여정 배우님와 함께 일할 기회일 것입니다. 동시에 하나님께서 우리를 위한 완벽한 계획이 있으리라 믿습니다. 우리 선호를 영화에 계속 출연시키기로 영화 투자자님들과 박감독님이 최종 결정한 것에 다시 한 번 감사드립니다. 선호야… <슬픈 열대>는 여러분에게 의미가 있으며, 스크린 데뷔작인 이 영화를 차질 없이 준비하고 촬영하기 위해 모든 정력과 시간을 쏟을 수 있어서 좋습니다.
게다가 가장 중요한 건 우리가 당신을 잃지 않았다는 거예요. 당신이 자신을 포기하지 않는 한 아무것도 끝나지 않고 항상 새로운 기회가 있을 것입니다. 저는 당신의 재능과 전문성을 신뢰하며 이전 연극과 드라마에서 보여준 것을 볼 때 대한민국의 연예계 관계자들도 당신을 그렇게 신뢰한다고 믿습니다. 당신의 작품이 말하게 하세요. 지금 이 순간 대중을 마주해야 할지 고민할 필요가 없습니다. 멋진 작품을 세상에 선보이고 여러분이 인정받을 자격이 있다는 것을 증명하고 여러분의 참여가 분명히 프로젝트에 귀중한 자산이라는 것을 보여줍시다.
Finally, here comes the 10th of December~ The 1st shooting day of <Sad Tropics>, the 1st ever movie that our Seonho participates in~ 🎬⭐️⭐️
Seonho ahh.. believe you must already put so much effort & prepared loads for this movie~ Simply just stay calm to focus on the shooting~ Have faith that you must be able to demonstrate an exceptional performance, and the shooting must be conducted smoothly~!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Believe in yourself, be confident and self-assured~ 💙 I trust that your existence would be one of the precious and essential treasures of this movie. Please remember… seonhohada all over the globe are supporting you~!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💙
We are always here, please take your time~ Stay healthy & concentrate on the shooting will be fine~ Keep it up~ would be waiting to see you around⭐️
The production team of “Sad Tropics" finally rescheduled the script reading session to today – 4 December.
Seonho ahh.. understand today will be your 1st day of return, apart from putting effort in preparing for this movie filming, you might have worries about today that you would have to face loads of crew and other actors.. (of course, this might only be my over apprehensive thoughts.. as I keep on thinking these days that if I were you, probably I would have all these concerns and anxiety…) While at the same time, I have faith in you that you must be capable to devote yourself in the script reading session professionally, do your best, and let the Director, the crew and all other actors involved have confidence in you, and are assured that your existence would be one of the precious and essential treasure of this piece.💖
I’m so glad to know our Seonho will attend the script reading session of the movie “Sad Tropics" on 3 Dec while reading the naver news yesterday morning.. (actually I’m thrilled.. there were so many thoughts in my head.. hahaa~) & there’s further update announced this morning that the film shooting will be commenced on 10 Dec~! 👍🏻🎬
When I read the news yesterday morning about the script reading, I was having a lot of thoughts… Above all, my concern is.. whether Seonho’s mental status is truly ready for this already…? But at the same time, I thought Seonho will attend for sure as he’s very professional… besides, I do think that probably Seonho doesn’t want to bother the Director, fellow actors and the production crew.. (as he’s always that selfless & putting others before himself..) that’s what made me feel very worried about him…
However, ultimately, I think we all should have faith in Seonho & reassure him that he can make it for sure. Moreover, though our Seonho hasn’t announced anything further in the past month anymore (while actually he doesn’t have to!), he must know there are many people in the world still supporting him continuously. & when he resumes working, paying attention & effort in the movie preparation, leaves some of his annoyance behind, it can help Seonho to heal himself to some extent… might be able to soothe the pain & hurt.. & rise again.
This movie is the one that I hope Seonho can continue to participate in the most.. (another one is “Dog Days".. but well.. that’s the way it is now..) since the role is hugely different from all the previous roles our Seonho acted in those dramas, it’s definitely a good challenge & a chance to demonstrate different and diversified acting skills to the audiences. In addition, Seonho does admire this movie Director, Park Hoon Jung, & loves his pieces very much~ he even mentioned it in <2 Days & 1 Night> for several times previously… I’m very pleased for Seonho that there’s finally an opportunity for him to work with his admired Director~
Seonho ahhh.. as long as you also trust yourself can make it, then it’s all good~! We will be there for you~ & must watch this movie when it comes to theaters~! (Indeed, this is the 1st time I’m longing for a movie to be released even before the commencement of the shooting~ hahaa~) Eagerly looking forward to it~ Keep going Seonho 화이팅~! 💪🏻💙
