“We chose the line in reference to Seon-ho’s name (which means ‘preference’ in Korean) because he really truly is our ‘preferred’ actor,” according to KSH Paperdolls, the fanbase that spearheaded the video. The project was a collaborative effort under Seonho United Philippines, comprised of five PH Seohohada groups.

In“Start-Up” Kim Seon-ho’s character Han Ji-pyeong unfortunately wasn’t Seo Dal-mi’s choice in the end. He was, however, still Team Good Boy’s preference.

Kim Seon-ho looked absolutely overwhelmed by the end of the fan meeting that he was holding back his tears as he expressed his gratitude to his Filipino fans. We stan a humble celebrity!

Globe Telecom earlier welcomed Kim Seon-ho as their newest brand ambassador, which coincided with the fan meeting. The Hallyu star joins a string of Korean celebrity ambassadors for various brands in the Philippines. Fans are now looking forward to seeing his commercials for Globe.

We hope to see the talented actor in the Philippines soon but for now we’d settle for a new project (hopefully another K-drama) for our ‘Good Boy.’

    just wanna say you might have gotten the wrong impression behind the i prefer you. It’s actually a wordplay with his name, seonho in korean means prefer.
