When the issue surrounding actor Kim SunHo's personal life broke out, the advertising industry steered away from releasing images and videos featuring the actor.
However, on the 28th, a mask brand that features the actor from 'Hometown ChaCha' as their primary model uploaded a video on its Youtube channel and uploaded an advertisement video on their main page.
According to the company spokesman, the video was taken down after the controversy erupted, but they chose to put it back up after seeing the actor's public apology.
"After accepting the exposer's apologies, we chose to restart the video's exposure because we believe forgiveness is an essential virtue, even if Kim Sun-ho has done something wrong."
A video of Kim Sun-ho's vlog which was broadcast a month ago on a camera brand's official YouTube channel is reposted by the company.
Kim Sun-ho now has advertising contracts with over ten businesses in a variety of areas, including pizza, shopping malls, and automobiles, etc.
Previously, early this month, Kim Sun-ho was at the heart of a scandal when his lover, revealed to the internet community that a certain K-actor pressured women to undergo abortions in their marriages.
Although the said lover did not reveal his true identity, the use of the term "K-actor" caused considerable controversy over Kim Sun-ho being referred to as K-actor.
When it was confirmed that it was indeed Kim Sun-ho, brands that the actor modeled removed all the photos and videos of the actor.
