Seo Ye-ji’s Dating Rumor
Seo Ye-ji came into the spotlight after Dispatch claimed she was the mastermind behind Kim Jung-hyun‘s abusive behavior on the set of the K-drama titled Time in 2018. Due to the controversy, last year’s blind item or anonymous rumor came under the public spotlight. In 2020, there was a blind item published by media outlet Newsen about rumors relating to female celebrities and their celebrity boyfriends. According to the article, actress G is notorious for completely dominating and controlling her celebrity boyfriends both physically and mentally. The article reported, “She only dated popular male celebrities even when she was a rookie.” One of the most famous stories is that top idol H threw himself into the street after breaking up with G. It is known that celebrity H continued to cling to G after the breakup, visited G’s agency, and even went on a diet when he heard G was on a diet. The blind item also revealed that handsome male celebrity K also attempted suicide after breaking up with G. It was also revealed that a close friend of top celebrity J is currently dating G. According to reports, G continues to physically and mentally dominate her boyfriend. This information was released on May 18, 2020, and resurfaced because netizens speculated that G is Seo Ye-ji, H is Yunho or U-Know Yunho from TVXQ, K is Kim Jung-hyun, and J is actor Kim Soo-hyun. The close friend in question is his cousin, founder of the Gold Medalist agency. Seo Ye-ji was involved in a dating scandal with Yunho in 2014 when the two celebrities appeared together in the drama The Night Watchman. Although both agencies denied the rumors, many netizens believed that the two were dating at the time. Rumors now say that Yunho and Kim Soo-hyun’s cousin were Seo Ye-ji’s “victims” in the past. However, the agencies of the names mentioned above have not released any statements regarding the rumors circulating. In light of the controversy, more and more netizens are starting to research Seo Ye-ji’s past behavior to try to get an idea of how she can captivate these men so deeply. Seo Ye-ji appeared in various dramas such as Save Me and Hwarang, but her popularity skyrocketed after appearing in the drama It’s Okay to Not Be Okay. During the drama, Seo Ye-ji was praised for her outstanding beauty and diction that matched her deep voice.
Since the controversy, netizens reviewed the behind-the-scenes video of the popular drama and showed Seo Ye-ji’s various actions that captivate men. In the behind-the-scenes video of It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, Seo Ye-ji is seen playing around and doing unexpected things. While rehearsing the scene where Kim Soo-hyun is about to touch her hair, Seo Ye-ji suddenly turned to kiss the hand of the 1988-born handsome actor. In another video, Seo Ye-ji casually touches Kim Soo-hyun’s hair while practicing a scene. She would also say things to make his heart flutter.
During the interview where the two main characters had to introduce the drama, Seo Ye-ji was asked, “What does Kang Tae [played by Kim Soo-hyun] mean to Moon Young [played by Seo Ye-ji]?” to which she replied, “My heart?” Kim Soo-hyun was silent for a while and smiling broadly. Seo Ye-ji is definitely not the shy type of woman. Perhaps her outspoken personality made many people become fascinated by her. The YouTube channel Garo Sero Research Institute held a YouTube live stream discussing various rumors about Seo Ye-ji. One of the rumors involved the actress with PD Jang Tae-yoo, the director of the popular drama My Love From the Star. During the live broadcast on April 13, 2020, reporter Kim Yong-ho introduced some of the blind items published in the past. The first rumor talked about actress A deliberately approaching producer C in order to get a role in his drama.
It is said that A was stalking C so she could meet him by chance. Soon, A and C started dating, and A was sure she would play a role in the drama C was producing at that time. But, A couldn’t get the role in the drama she wanted because C wasn’t the only one making the decisions. After A lost the role, she began to show her obsessive tendencies. When C was working on the drama, A would call C and tell him that she had been hospitalized. A would then threaten producer C that she would kill herself if he doesn’t come to her soon. Of course, C couldn’t concentrate on his work and started to become mentally unstable. A’s obsession got worse. A would tell a close friend to stalk C. A would only be satisfied after knowing the whereabouts of C, with whom he met, and what he did. If C lied, A would get angry. A continued to show her psychotic obsession with C. A would have severe attacks but suddenly be fine. As A continued her obsession and stalking of C, he decided to quit the drama and had to change the entire production team. According to Garo Sero Research Institute, A in this blind item is Seo Ye-ji and C is Jang Tae-yoo. There was even an article that revealed that PD Jang Tae-yoo suddenly left the production of the drama Four Men starring Park Hae-jin. However, on April 14, 2020, PD Jang Tae-yoo denied the accusations and stated that he would file a lawsuit against those who spread the baseless rumors.
