Recently, controversial actor Ji Soo appeared on the popular Philippine talk show KALURKS! and shared his honest thoughts on dating Filipina women.
When asked if he found Filipino women beautiful, he replied, “Of course.” He added that he was open to dating a Filipina woman and stated, “I don’t look at nationality, love can happen anywhere.”
Even when he was asked if he would be willing to date the female host next to him, he replied, “Of course! Why not? She is beautiful.”
Meanwhile, back in 2021, he became embroiled in school bullying allegations, admitting to some of the accusations before stepping down from his current project.
Since then, he has been promoting actively in the Philippines. Most recently, he held a fan-meeting-style event at a shopping mall in collaboration with a clothing brand.
The hosts asked, “You’ve been active in the Philippines for some time now; do you consider yourself Filipino?”
Part of my heart has become Filipino. I’ve actually been active here for two years now, and it feels like my second home.
— Ji Soo
However, netizens called him out, saying he only said that in order to keep his career.
