With the current prevalence of “cancel culture” in the entertainment industry, do these celebrities still have a second chance? Let’s take a look at 7 Korean actors who made victorious comebacks after getting embroiled in huge scandals.

1. Lee Byung Hun

The most powerful actor in Korea, Lee Byung Hun, has appeared.

Great talents often come with many flaws. Lee Byung Hun was the center of not only one but two scandals in the past. In 2009, the actor was accused of cheating by his ex-girlfriend, Kwon Mi Yeon. She revealed that Lee Byung Hun promised to get married to her, so she decided to give up her career abroad to return to Korea to be with him, but his attitude towards her was no longer the same. Kwon Mi Yeon went on to expose that Lee Byung Hun even committed some illegal acts in the US and asked the actor for compensation for mental damage she suffered because of him.

In response to the press, Lee Byung Hun admitted to be dating Kwon Mi Yeon but denied cheating accusations. Not long after, Kwon Mi Yeon canceled her lawsuit, so Lee Byung Hun was acquitted. However, the actor faced severe backlash from the public at that time.

In 2014, after he settled down with his gorgeous wife Lee Min Jung, the actor continued to be caught up in another controversy over personal relationships. He was allegedly having an affair with model Lee Ji Yeon and female idol Da Hee of Glam. Specifically, Da Hee even had videos as proof and put pressure on the famous actor.

This controversy was more shocking because at the time it broke out, Lee Byung Hun’s wife was pregnant. Lee Min Jung angrily returned to her mother’s house, while Lee Byung Hun was strongly condemned and criticized by the public. Lee Byung Hun then publicly apologized to his wife in front of the media and took a break from the screen for a while.

In 2018, he had a spectacular comeback with a well-invested drama with the script written by “golden screenwriter” Kim Eun Sook, Mr.Sunshine. Since then, Lee Byung Hun gradually resumed his acting activities and was forgiven by the public. Recently, by having a cameo appearance as The Front Man in Squid Game, it seems like Lee Byung Hun has erased all the stains of his career.

2. Joo Ji Hoon
In 2006, Joo Ji Hoon shot to fame throughout Asia when he took on the role of Crown Prince Lee Shin in the hit drama Princess Hours (Goong), adapted from the comic of the same name.

Actor Joo Ji Hoon Revealed That He Wanted To Portray The Role Of Lee Shin in Princess Hours season 2.
But at the peak of his career, the actor was involved in a shocking scandal of possession and use of illegal drugs. He was sentenced to 6 months in prison, 1 year of house arrest, 120 hours of community service and a fine of 360,000 won. This scandal was thought to have put an end to Joo Ji Hoon’s career.

After he got out of jail, Joo Ji Hoon decided to enlist in the army but the public was still extremely angry with him. In 2015, his role in “Mask” alongside Soo Ae helped to partially improve the image of Joo Ji Hoon in the public eye.

Currently, Joo Ji Hoon is starring in Jirisan with Jun Ji Hyun. Joo Ji Hoon is definitely the strongest proof that talents can overcome controversy.

Recently, the actress returned to the small screen with her new project “Now, We Are Breaking Up,” starring alongside Jang Ki Yong.
