[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] Cultural critic Wi Geun-woo criticized the report that actor Kim Seon-ho cooked seaweed soup after his ex-girlfriend A underwent an abortion, saying, "This is the first time I've heard of washing away wrongdoing with seaweed soup."

On the 26th, Wi Geun-woo shared the Dispatch article about Kim Seon-ho on his Instagram, saying, "I've heard of washing away wrongdoing with blood, but washing it away with seaweed soup is something new to me."

He added, "When I was in the military, there was a senior in another platoon who took leave because his girlfriend was having an abortion and then requested an extension for a consolation trip. He probably thought of himself as a warm boyfriend to his girlfriend."

Earlier that day, Dispatch published an article titled "Kim Seon-ho, 12 Distorted Truths," refuting the allegations made by A related to Kim Seon-ho. The media reported that after Kim Seon-ho became aware of A's pregnancy, they mutually agreed to have an abortion, and after the procedure, Kim Seon-ho cooked seaweed soup for A.

Regarding this, Kim Seon-ho's agency, Salt Entertainment, stated, "We have nothing to say."

Meanwhile, on the 21st, Wi Geun-woo also mentioned Kim Seon-ho's departure from KBS2's "1 Night 2 Days," calling it "a predictable controversy for a variety show composed of male cast members."

He cited the reasons why male-only variety shows have high risks of cast-related issues as △ a high possibility of serious incidents such as drinking and violence as natural persons △ the violent culture unique to male-dominated groups and lack of gender perspective △ an environment where male offenders can return quite easily and play amid everyone's oblivion.
