As the controversy rolled on, the crew and cast of the Korean drama Hometown ChaChaCha uploaded a photo with Kim Seon Ho. This is suspected as a form of their support for the main character.

Several crew members uploaded photos of Kim Seon Ho and wrote, “Don't worry Hong Bang Jang (Hong Du Sik's nickname)”, “Chief Hong cheers!!” “Chief Hong, you are strong!” “We had a good time, Seon Ho. Your acting, your character is the best”

Actors Jo Han Chul and Ko Do Yeon also uploaded photos with Kim Seon Ho from filming Hometown ChaChaCha.

Kim Seon Ho was nominated for the 2021 Asia Artist Awards in the Popularity Actor category. Until now, his name leads the number one position and is predicted to win the category.

In second place, there was ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo, followed by NCT's Doyoung, GOT7's Jinyoung, Song Joong Ki, NUEST's Hwang Min Hyun, Song Kang, Lee Do Hyun, Lee Seung Gi, and Lee Joon Ki.

Netizens were split into two. On the one hand they support Kim Seon Ho but not a few who refuse so that the actor can return to his career.

“Miima mask is better than the agency. I'm glad they made a bold decision. Their business will thrive," said a netizen citing Everyday Economy via Naver.

“Nothing should stop Kim Seon Ho from coming back here. The fact that the industry is so quick to withdraw its advertisements calls into question the industry~ Consumers should boycott the company demanding a penalty from Kim Seon Ho.”

“We have to wait for the final result rather than take sides, and so far Kim Seon Ho has suffered more.”

“Wishing a flowery path to her acting career. Truth will always win.”
