Kim Seonho's Role in 'Poksak': Husband or Just a Cameo?
The upcoming Netflix series ‘Poksak’ (literal translation: 'You Were Fooled') featuring IU and Kim Seonho has sparked heated debates. The speculation revolves around whether Kim Seonho is playing IU's husband or if his role is just a brief cameo.
The controversy erupted following the release of the drama's Act 3 poster and teaser, which provided cryptic hints about who would play the husband of IU’s character, Geum-myeong.

The Case for Kim Seonho as Geum-myeong’s Husband
Supporters of this theory argue that Kim Seonho’s image and acting style would perfectly complement IU’s character, contributing emotional depth to the story. His past performances have established him as a reliable lead with a knack for portraying layered, sentimental characters.
Many fans believe his warm and emotionally resonant performances make him an ideal choice to portray a loving husband, helping to strengthen the drama’s romantic arc.
The Case Against Kim Seonho Playing Geum-myeong’s Husband
Others, however, caution against reading too much into the speculation. There has been no official confirmation from Netflix or the production team about Kim Seonho’s exact role. If he's not playing Geum-myeong's husband, overhyping this theory may lead to disappointment.
Additionally, some critics argue that the marketing team may have deliberately encouraged this guesswork to build anticipation, which could backfire if audiences feel misled.
Managing Expectations: What Fans Should Keep in Mind
Ultimately, the identity of Geum-myeong’s husband remains a mystery, and jumping to conclusions may affect how people perceive the unfolding narrative. Fans should savor the journey without being too fixated on casting theories.
That said, clearer communication from the production team could help manage expectations and prevent unnecessary disappointment. The success of 'Poksak' will ultimately depend on its storytelling and character development rather than on casting speculations.
