On April 13, Tuesday, Gold Medalist, the agency of South Korean actress Seo Ye-ji, said that the allegations of alleged “manipulative and controlling behavior” towards former boyfriend and actor Kim Jung-hyun were false.
“This can be seen as a common lovers’ quarrel between actors who are dating. However, all actors carry out filming normally, putting their quarrels with their partners aside. We believe Kim Jung Hyun must have had an unavoidable personal matter as well,” the agency said, apologizing for the late release of the statement and for the trouble the controversy has caused.
The controversy started way back in 2018 when Kim Jung-hyun was criticized for what the press described as “dull behavior” in press conference for MBC’s Time, a drama he starred in with Girls’ Generation’s Seohyun.
Years later, on April 12, 2021 South Korean online tabloid newspaper Dispatch published what it claimed to be text messages between former partners Ye-ji and Jung-hyun. Ye-ji alleged ordered Jung-hyun not to speak to his co-actors, and even forbade him to make “skinship” or physical contact with anyone.
The It’s Okay to Not Be Okay actress supposedly asked Jung-hyun to demand modifications in the script and to remove scenes involving romance.
Dispatch claimed that 13 scenes, including romantic scenes between the main characters, were changed or removed in the 2018 series.
Following Dispatch’s report, the actress skipped a press conference for her upcoming mystery thriller film Recalled. – with reports from Jewel Camacho/Rappler.com
