Global K-drama sensation Kim Seon-ho has issued a special message of gratitude to his massive Indian fanbase, crediting their unwavering support as a primary motivator for his craft. The actor, widely beloved for his roles in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha and Start-Up, expressed his excitement as his highly anticipated Netflix series, ‘Can This Love Be Translated?’, officially premieres today.

In an interview with PTI, Kim Seon-ho shared that the love from India has been a humbling force. “I just feel so grateful for all the Indian fans showing us so much love and support,” he said. “As an actor, it is the most rewarding and exciting thing to know that people are waiting for your next work. It makes me feel very proud, excited, and happy.”

The actor hinted that the new series, penned by the legendary Hong Sisters (Alchemy of Souls, Hotel del Luna), is designed to resonate deeply across cultures. He hopes the show will spark organic engagement similar to the viral “smile challenge” from his earlier 2025 hit, When Life Gives You Tangerines.

Kim Seon-ho plays Joo Ho-jin, a multilingual interpreter fluent in six languages—including English, Italian, and Japanese—who ironically struggles to “translate” the language of love. He stars alongside Go Youn-jung, who portrays global top star Cha Mu-hee. The actor revealed that he spent four months studying grammar and nuances to bring authenticity to the role of a polyglot.

Reflecting the expanding global footprint of K-content, the 12-episode series was filmed across diverse international locations, including South Korea, Japan, Italy, and Canada. Kim Seon-ho assured fans that the entire production team poured their hearts into the project to ensure audiences are not let down.

“We did our very best in creating this series in order to respond to that love,” Seon-ho added. “I think I can dare say you will not be disappointed.” With all episodes now available for streaming, the series is expected to dominate Netflix’s global Top 10 charts throughout the weekend.
