May it be on television, on social media platforms, or in person, fans never fail to swoon and gush over their very own Kim Seon-ho. Here’s why his Filipino fans find him consistently irresistible:
He undoubtedly aces all the characters he portrays
We already know how exceptional he was in breaking our hearts as Han Ji-pyeong in “Start-Up” and in making us fall head over heels in love with Hong Banjang in “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.” Still, he had always managed to portray his characters well even in his very first supporting role in “Good Manager“ in 2017.
He also effortlessly made us cry with his character development in his role as Oh Jin-kyu on “Strongest Deliveryman” and vehemently captured our emotions as the aspiring singer in “Welcome to Waikiki 2.”
Always, in all ways, our Seon-ho shined and flawlessly conquered every character he was assigned to.
His alluring charm
There’s never a time that his fans would not talk about how cute his dimples are or how attractive his smile is. No matter what he does, he always has this positive and charming aura that makes us smile and get kilig out of nowhere.
Even watching a two-minute TikTok edit of him or videos of how adorable he is during shootings would already relieve your stress from a long day. It is through these simple little things that we do not realize we have already fallen for his alluring charm.
He knows how to speak Tagalog
They say the only way to a fan’s heart is through knowing their own language, and Seon Ho perfectly aced this through the newest teaser of his film, “The Childe,” where he plays the role of Marco, a Filipino-Korean boxer who travels back to South Korea in search of his estranged father.
The one-minute trailer shows Seon-ho saying, “Ngumiti ka naman d’yan, ako’ng bahala sa’yo,” and ends it with a heart-fluttering wink. Aside from this trailer, Seon-ho also made the effort to learn some Filipino phrases he could say during his fan meeting in the Philippines. Nothing would ever top the feeling when we all heard him say, “Mahal kita.”
Once a Good Boy, always a Good Boy
Remember how we all called him “Good Boy” during his role as Han Ji-pyeong? Well, even Kim Seon Ho himself had always been a good boy.
On May 8, he donated 100 Million Won to the Korean Red Cross to celebrate his birthday. Seon-ho requested to use his donation for a program to help young people preparing to leave the foster care system to develop self-reliance. Seon-ho definitely aged well.
He adores his fans wholeheartedly
During his fan meet at Mall of Asia Arena, he appeared emotional during a fan project video. Seon-ho was very grateful for his fans who stayed despite the hard times.
“There’s one thing I want to tell you: thank you so much for always being with me during the hard times, even in the good times. You’re always there for me and that is big love,” Seon-ho said through his translator.
May it be on television, in social media, or in person, Kim Seon-ho has always radiated the warmth and positive energy we have all learned to love. And through his genuine talent, love, and charm that transcended every big screen, he has cast a spell on his Filipino fans: he will always have THAT effect on us.
