“I don’t even know why I have to explain myself…”

Soon after her name was brought up amid the massive scandal surrounding actor Kim Soo Hyun, his cousin Lee Sa Rang, and their management GOLD MEDALIST, actress Seo Ye Ji (Seo Yea Ji) took to her official fan café and expressed absolute frustration at being associated with them again.

On March 13, 2025 (KST), a little over midnight, Seo Ye Ji addressed “Dearest Yeyes” and admitted to having replied to a hateful comment and then deleted it.

“Unnie, [incoherent sentence about dating Kim Soo Hyun]. Please don’t let us down again. I just read about it on TikTok.” — Instagram Comment

She wrote in apparent frustration, “I wish people would… please… stop.” Although she noted she had no reason to clarify anything, she still did—presumably for her worried fans.

“My dearest yeyes,

I’m only human… So this has been overwhelming, stressful… and I’m so sick and tired of it all. It saddens me and suffocates me… I’ve been holding back and back… but I ended up responding to this comment. I deleted it, though.

I wish people would… please… stop. I am in no way affiliated with him and his cousin. I don’t even know why I have to explain myself… but I’m just extra frustrated tonight… Good night, yeyes.” — Seo Ye Ji

Earlier, Seo Ye Ji was alleged to have been framed as a staff/school bully and used to cover up GOLD MEDALIST’s problems. Read more about the alleged former employee’s viral comment here:
