It’s been almost a year since Kim Seon-ho stole our hearts as Start-Up’s “Good Boy.” Since then, countless fans have clamoured for the 35-year-old actor to land more major projects, and it seems that 2021 is finally his year. His current drama, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, hasn’t stopped receiving rave reviews since its premiere — plus, word on the street is that he may star in his first movie soon!
According to Salt Entertainment (the actor’s agency), Kim Seon-ho is “positively reviewing” the offer for one of the lead roles in the upcoming film Sad Tropics. The film will focus on the son of a Filipino mother and a Korean father; the boy, who dreams of becoming a professional boxer, travels to Korea to search for his estranged father. Meanwhile, sources say that the actor for the other lead role has yet to be chosen.
