[OSEN=Jang Woo-young reporter] Guk Dong-ho, a cast member of ‘Solo Hell 4,’ has been engulfed in bullying allegations following earlier gay rumors. While he clarified the gay rumors, his rebuttal of the bullying allegations has not fully resolved the issue, drawing attention to the outcome.
‘Solo Hell 4,’ featuring Guk Dong-ho, aired on Netflix from January 14 to February 11 of last year, spanning approximately one month. The finale saw four couples formed: Guk Dong-ho and Kim A-rin, Ahn Jong-hoon and Kim Hye-jin, Kim Tae-hwan and Bae Ji-yeon, and Yook Joon-seo and Lee Si-an. However, no ‘real-life couples’ (hyunkers) emerged from the show.
Amid criticism that the show was merely a promotional platform for influencers, interest in the cast members persisted. While figures like Yook Joon-seo gained spotlight through appearances on MBC’s “Reveal My Star’s Life: The Manager,” Guk Dong-ho found himself at the center of negative controversies.
First, the gay rumors. After the show’s finale, Guk appeared on Park Hae-rin’s YouTube channel, “What Are You Doing, Hae-rin?”, discussing behind-the-scenes details. When asked, “I heard there were gay rumors, so they didn’t pick you,” Guk responded, “I need to clarify this. I’ll speak freely here,” and shared his stance.
Guk stated, “To be clear, I’m a genuine heterosexual. I’m serious. That’s why I didn’t choose Hae-rin,” adding, “I wasn’t angry, and I wanted to make it clear who I am.”
