My Take
Ji Soo is honestly one of the more bittersweet stories to come out of the Korean drama boom of the late 2010s. He was building real momentum — a likeable screen presence, solid supporting turns, and then a lead role in River Where the Moon Rises that had people paying attention — before the school bullying allegations in early 2021 hit and he stepped away from the industry mid-broadcast. What makes it genuinely hard to assess is that he issued a public apology and the drama recast him, which is about as definitive a career implosion as Korean entertainment offers. I don't think anyone roots for that outcome, but the industry moved on fast. Whether he stages a comeback from the Philippines or not, his story is a reminder of how quickly the ground can shift under a rising actor.
