Email: online@newsofbahrain.com 

Kim Seon-ho is eager for his new Netflix series, ‘Can This Love Be Translated?’, which premieres today, January 16, 2026, to spark a new viral trend like the ‘Smile Challenge’ from his previous hit, ‘When Life Gives You Tangerines’. This challenge, which featured his iconic wink and smile, gained immense popularity, attracting attention from celebrities like Ariana Grande.

In this upcoming project, Seon-ho plays Joo Ho-jin, a linguistic genius fluent in six languages yet struggling with love. He dedicated four months to mastering his multilingual lines and is particularly excited about two scenes he thinks are "viral-ready."

Co-starring Go Youn-jung, the series is created by the renowned Hong Sisters and aims to deliver Seon-ho’s signature romantic-comedy charm across its 12 episodes. As it begins streaming globally, fans and industry watchers alike are eager to see if his influence will capture social media once more.
