Actor Kim Seon-ho is set to embark on a new variety show adventure in the countryside alongside fellow stars Cha Seung-won and Kim Hee-ae, drawing attention from both fans and the industry.

According to a report by Sports Chosun on March 4, Kim Seon-ho has confirmed his participation in Coupang Play’s upcoming variety show, ‘Bonjour Bakery’. This marks his return to the variety scene nearly two years after his last appearance on ‘The Bros Who Eat and Watch 2’ in 2024.

Kim Seon-ho, well-known for his innocent charm and unique sense of humor displayed in KBS2’s ‘2 Days & 1 Night’, is highly anticipated to showcase new sides of himself in this latest project.

‘Bonjour Bakery’ is a healing variety program set in a tranquil rural village, centered around a ‘senior dessert café’ that opens its doors to the community. With previous announcements confirming the involvement of renowned actors Kim Hee-ae and Cha Seung-won, news of Kim Seon-ho joining the cast has further heightened expectations for the show.

Filming is scheduled for the first half of the year, with the program slated for release in May.

Kim Seon-ho’s reunion with Cha Seung-won is also drawing interest, as the pair previously worked together in the Disney+ series ‘Tyrant’. Fans are eager to see what new chemistry they will bring to the reality format of ‘Bonjour Bakery’.

Previously, Kim Seon-ho faced controversy surrounding allegations of tax evasion related to his management of a one-person corporation. His agency, Fantagio, stated last month that “all additional payments for personal income tax, separate from previously paid corporate tax, have now been completed,” signaling that tax-related issues have been effectively resolved. The corporation is reportedly in the final administrative steps toward closure.

Having addressed the controversy, Kim Seon-ho has resumed his activities, and his return to television variety is being closely watched to see how he will reconnect with fans in this new context.
