Famous Actor Returns to Public Appearance Following Tax Evasion Scandal
Kim Seon Ho faces tax evasion allegations but stays tight-lipped.
The controversy started after claims accused him of running a family corporation to dodge taxes. His agency denied everything right away.
On May 6, Kim Seon Ho made his first public move since the issue broke. He showed up at the press conference for Coupang Play’s new variety show Bonjour Bakery in Seoul.
The show is about opening a dessert cafe for the elderly in a rural village — aiming to bring comfort and support.
Reporters asked Kim Seon Ho about the tax evasion claims during the event. He didn’t address the allegations directly. Instead, he focused on the show.
“This is a program intended to give and receive healing. It is a meaningful position, so I worked really hard. As this was a show to provide healing to the elderly, we had to approach it with the mindset that they were the main characters. I did my best every moment.”

He only said he worked faithfully on the project and avoided all other questions about the controversy.
Cast and crew backed him publicly.
Kim Ranju said,
“The space must’ve been difficult for the grandmothers, and so when they hesitated to enter, Kim Seon Ho approached them first. Thanks to him, the barrier for the elderly to enter was lowered.”
Kim Hee Ae added,
“His image is that of a gentleman, but when he works, he reveals a powerful and masculine leadership.”
The situation is still developing as fans wait to see if Kim Seon Ho will comment further or if more info drops.
