Every Korean artist aspires for a long and successful career. However, some artists' careers, unfortunately, were short-lived due to controversies or personal matters.
Here's the compilation of some Korean stars who probably won't be seen anymore in films and dramas. (via Koreaboo)
Lee Seo Won
In 2018, it was revealed to the public that Lee Seo Won inappropriately touched a female actress. He also allegedly intimidated and threatened a colleague using a knife while under the influence of alcohol.
Soon afterward, Lee Seo Won admitted guilty to all these misdemeanors, leading to his reputation degenerating. Now the general public in Korea sees him negatively.
Kang Ji Hwan
Kang Ji Hwan was indicted for sexual assaults against two women in 2019.
Kang Ji Hwan had been reportedly charged for sexual assault and attempted rape when he drank with two of his female staff. According to the police report, he proceeded with raping and harassing the ladies after they both fell asleep.
Although he initially debunked the accusations, he eventually pleaded guilty to all the allegations. Because of the nature of the fiasco, the reputation of Kang Ji Hwan was ruined, and it also resulted in the termination of Ji Hwan's contract with his agency then.
Seo Min Jung
All through her tenure as an actress, Seo Min Jung was very successful, with her most notable role in 'Unstoppable High Kick!'
In 2007, Seo Min Jung made surprising headlines after she decided to step down as an actress. Later, it was confirmed that she was hitched with a dentist from Korea and moved to New York to begin her life as a non-celebrity.
Throughout the years, Seo Min Jung has indeed been exhibiting appearances for a short period whenever she comes to visit South Korea. Still, after her departure in 2007, she was never active in any acting and hosting projects.
