Kim Hee-ae Supports Kim Seon-ho Amidst Tax Evasion Allegations with Theater Visit

Actress Kim Hee-ae showed her support for Kim Seon-ho, who is currently embroiled in tax evasion allegations, by attending his theater performance.

On the 31st, Kim Hee-ae shared her experience on social media after watching the play 'Secret Passage: INTERVAL' at the NOL Theater in Daehangno. She described it as an "impressive performance that offered a deep insight into the inner workings of various human characters," and praised Kim Seon-ho's "passion and depth." She encouraged others to experience the actors' performances live.

In the shared photo, Kim Hee-ae is seen in a trench coat and hat, exuding a relaxed vibe in front of the theater's poster. Her comfortable yet neat style caught attention.

The two actors reportedly became acquainted through the upcoming Coupang Play variety show 'Bonjour Bakery,' set to premiere in May. Their friendship, developed during filming, seems to have led to Kim Hee-ae's attendance at the play.

Meanwhile, Kim Hee-ae is preparing for her return to television with the JTBC drama 'Gold Digger.' Kim Seon-ho is currently performing as Dong-jae in 'Secret Passage,' which runs until May 3.

Previously, Kim Seon-ho faced allegations of tax evasion related to the establishment of a one-person corporation and its accounting structure. Accusations included registering the corporation at his Yongsan residence, appointing family members as executives to receive salaries, and using the corporate card for personal expenses.

Kim Seon-ho's representatives stated, "While he did receive settlements from his former agency, he has since ceased operating the corporation, and the administrative closure process is nearing completion."
