Welcome to another edition of SB Week in Review. Here’s all the news you might have missed over the past week:

Headlines

  • Early this week, there was an anonymous post uploaded on Nate Pann claiming that an actor coerced her to abort her baby and later covered a small portion of the entire procedure. Actor Kim Seonho was suspected, and he later stepped forward acknowledging it was him and issued a vague apology for his actions. The victim later edited her post to add that she had received a personal apology and did not intend for the issue to blow up as much as it did. Meanwhile, the actor has left 2 Days & 1 Night and two of his upcoming movies, and the photobook release of Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha has been cancelled.
