Hometown Cha Cha Cha star Kim Seon Ho found himself in hot waters after being accused by his ex-girlfriend of forcing abortion on her under the pretence of marriage. Following Kim Seon Ho's apology and public outrage over the actor's misdeeds, several popular ongoing and upcoming projects dropped him including KBS' 2 Days & 1 Night show. Several brand endorsements and advertisements also followed the suit.
However, according to a report from the South Korean media outlet Dispatch, the actor's friends came in support of him and provided Seon Ho's evidence. The outlet also released the conversations between the actor and his ex-girlfriend proving his innocence to some extent. This led his ardent fans to demand his return to the shows, in particular, 2 Days & 1 Night. The demand was followed by a petition signed by a large number of people to have the actor back on the show.
