What Do Actresses REALLY Think of Kim Seon Ho in 2026?

He is one of the most intense actors in Korea, but also one of the most controversial in recent years.

In 2026, Kim Seon-ho still divides opinions.

In this video, you will discover what the actresses who worked with him really think, what was said behind the scenes, and why some opinions say much more through silence than through words.

When discussing the relationship between Suzy and Kim Seon-ho, it is impossible not to automatically return to Startup, one of the most debated dramas of the decade.

The series not only divided opinions due to its script, but also created an unexpected phenomenon, Kim Sien-ho's explosion in popularity, largely driven by the intense chemistry he built with Suzy on screen.

From the start of filming, Suzy made it clear in interviews that Kim Sien-ho was not an ordinary actor.

Suzy described Kim Sien-ho as someone reserved, almost shy, but who completely transformed when filming began.

For her, this change showed how seriously he took acting. It wasn't vanity, it wasn't a desire to show off, it was dedication.

In later interviews, Suzy went as far as to say that many of the most emotional scenes between Dalmi and Ji Pyeong worked precisely because Seon Ho knew how to hold the emotion without exaggerating, leaving space for the audience to feel the character's pain and frustration.

According to her, acting opposite him made it easier to access real feelings because everything seemed very honest.

After the success of Startup, when fans began pressing for a possible sequel or even an off-screen couple, Suzy always maintained a careful stance.

She never fueled rumors, but she also never diminished his importance in her career.

On the contrary, At events and in interviews, Suzy made it clear that Kim Sien-ho was one of the most memorable castmates of her career, precisely because of his emotional sensitivity and professional respect.

For many fans, the fact that Suzy never made criticisms, not even indirectly, even after all the controversy involving Sien-ho's name years later, says a lot.

She simply remained silent, which, for the Korean public, is often the clearest form of respect.

In the end, the impression remains that Suzy didn't just see a talented actor, but a scene partner deeply committed to emotional truth, something she clearly values.

If with Suzy the public met the sensitive and quiet Kim Seon-ho, it was alongside Shin Min-ah in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha

that many came to see who he really is as a professional. Working with a veteran actress, respected and extremely discerning like Min-ah is not simple, and the fact that Kim Seon-ho earned her admiration speaks volumes.

From the first interviews about the drama, Shin Min-ah made it clear that Seon-ho was a scene partner she trusted completely.

According to the actress, he had an almost obsessive attention to emotional details.

He didn't just memorize lines, but questioned the reason for every reaction, every pause, and every look.

For her, this elevated the level of the scenes and made everything more organic.

Min Ah commented that in romantic or emotionally delicate scenes, Kim Sion Ho always prioritized his partner's comfort.

He would ask if a certain touch made sense, if the proximity was appropriate, and if the transmitted emotion felt true.

This care, according to her, is rare in the industry and creates a safe and respectful work environment, especially for actresses.

Another point Shin Min-Ah highlighted was his demeanor off-camera. She described Sian-Ho as someone polite, discreet, and extremely consistent.

There was no difference between the famous actor in front of the cameras and the man behind the scenes.

For Min-Ah, this consistency of behavior is one of the clearest signs of character within the entertainment industry.

During the drama's broadcast, many fans began to speculate about the intense chemistry between the two.

the scenes seemed too natural, too intimate." Min Ah responded to this with maturity, saying that the chemistry existed because there was absolute trust between the actors.

According to her, when there is no fear or insecurity in a scene, emotion flows effortlessly.

Even after the controversies that arose years later involving Kim Sien-ho, Shin Min Ah never deleted photos, never removed comments, and never tried to distance herself publicly.

For many Korean fans, this detail was extremely significant.

In an industry where strategic silence usually indicates distancing, Min Ah's neutral and respectful stance was interpreted as silent support.

In the end, Shin Min Ah's opinion on Kim Sian Ho is clear.

Even when not spoken in direct words, she sees in him a mature, reliable, and emotionally intelligent actor.

Someone who understands that acting isn't about individual shine, but about connection.

And perhaps that is exactly why hometown Cha Cha Cha left such a mark on the audience, because the emotional truth between them didn't feel like acting, felt like lived experience.

Among all the actresses who spent time with Kim Sien-ho, Kang Han Na is perhaps one of those who best reveals the actor's less visible side.

Unlike the protagonists who share big romantic moments on screen, Han-na had daily contact with Sien-ho behind the scenes of Startup, interacting with him away from the most intense spotlights, and that was exactly where she began to see him differently.

In interviews after the drama ended, Kang Han-na commented that Kim Sien-ho was someone who carried a very large emotional responsibility on set.
