Kim Ji Soo clears up past allegations, grateful for Filipino fans’ support

Kim Ji Soo has addressed the past allegations made against him as he moves on with his career in the Philippines.

In June 2021, South Korean actor faced accusations regarding incidents from his school years, which included claims of bullying.

In an article by South Korean site Sports Chosun, Ji Soo explained that the allegations have been resolved.

"I've been able to clear up misunderstandings with the friends involved. We talked and reconciled, and I am now focused on moving forward with my life and career," he said.

Kim Ji Soo also denied the sexual assault allegations surrounding his name.

"Many rumors have become public knowledge and established facts because of things I didn't do. All sexual assault allegations were false, and even an apology was received," he said.

"I am truly grateful for the opportunities I've had here. The support from my Filipino fans has been overwhelming, and there is so much more I want to accomplish," he said.

The actor also said he wants to further level up his acting career. 

"I want to challenge myself with a play or musical. I also want to make a short film and I find filming on YouTube fun. I studied English a lot during my break, so I want to do an English performance. I want to try acting in English in a global production," he said.
