The adorable side of Seon-ho can be witnessed in the hit variety show 2 Days & 1 Night where six cheerful guys travel over different spots in South Korea to enjoy the country’s treasured attractions while playing fun games. In the episode posted above, the beloved actor opened up about his fears and self-doubts; for many of his fans, it was an indication of his humbleness. 

In the show, he is joined by actor Youn Jung-hoon, singer Kim Jong-min, comedian Moon Se-yoon, and rappers DinDin and Ravi (VIXX). Together, the six members get into random shenanigans as they all compete for meals throughout the day and the precious award of sleeping indoors. 

While Seon-ho only became a television actor in 2017, he already made his debut on stage as a theatre actor in 2009. He received accolades for his roles in plays like the New Boeing Boeing, Rooftop Cat, Sherlock, and Kiss of the Spider Woman.

“My stage acting experience is, no doubt, the most precious time to me, and it was a much-needed process for me,” the actor said in an interview.

In his 2019 interview with Harper’s Bazaar Korea, Seon-ho disclosed a traumatic experience he had when he was younger. According to the actor, his family was robbed in their own home. His mother was stabbed with a knife whilst he hid under the bed.

Because of this, Seon-ho feels uncomfortable whenever someone stood behind him. He also has trouble breathing and blending in with a lot of people. “It is quite a heavy subject, but there was a huge thing I went through when I was younger... because of the trauma I had from that incident, I would feel uneasy whenever someone stood behind me, and I would have trouble breathing whenever I go to a crowded place with many people,” he said.

Despite being an experienced theatre actor, Seon-ho’s TV debut came a bit late. In 2017, at the age of 32, the actor passed his first audition for the K-drama Good Manager (also known as Chief Kim), making it his first TV show. 

Seon-ho conquered his fear of riding planes when he was 32. He boarded a flight for a three-day vacation in Cebu to celebrate the success of Good Manager.
