The Korean entertainment industry is buzzing.

On January 20, tvN, a major TV station, distributed a document to the people concerned introducing the dramas scheduled to be broadcast this year. One noteworthy drama was missing from the list.

It is “Eve,” starring actress Seo Ye-ji (31), who is also popular in Japan. The film is a drama based on a divorce case involving a Korean conglomerate worth about 200 billion yen. The drama is about a divorce case involving a South Korean conglomerate worth about 200 billion yen. “Eve” was talked about as Yeaji’s return to TV after an eight-month absence since her role as the heroine in “Psycho but OK,” which ended last August.

But this time, the broadcast schedule was leaked ……. It seems that the name of the drama was intentionally left out for marketing reasons, but the Korean entertainment industry was in an uproar for a while, wondering if the drama would be cancelled because of the “commotion.

The “fiasco” refers to the scandal between Yeji and a popular actor that still lingers. It all started in April last year. In April last year, the Korean media outlet “Dispatch” published a message that Yeaji had sent to her former boyfriend, Kim Jong-hyun. Jong-hyun is a top actor who has appeared in hit dramas such as “Love’s Emergency Landing.

In the message, he wrote The message read, ‘No romance,’ ‘No skinship,’ and so on. The Dispatch reported that Yeaji had ‘brainwashed’ Jonghyun not to be intimate with the women he co-stars with.

He refused to fold his arms with the other actress.

There was a situation that seemed to be a sign.

It was during the production announcement of “Time,” a drama to be aired in 2006 in which Jonghyun will appear. When Seohyun (a member of Girls’ Generation), who played the lead role, tried to cross her arms to pose in front of the camera, Jonghyun shook her off and refused. He remained silent and expressionless for the whole time, and his bad attitude became a topic of conversation.

The Dispatch obtained the script for the 12th episode of the series. In the script, there were 13 scenes where Seo-hyun and Jong-hyun had skin-to-skin contact. However, in the actual footage, they were all gone. For example, in the scene where they put a bandage on Jong-hyun’s forehead and blow on him, they just handed him the ointment, and in the scene of their wedding, they didn’t even cross their arms or hold hands.

The Dispatch also reported that Jonghyun responded to a message from Yeji: “I don’t even greet the female staff. In addition to this, it’s also important to note that there’s a lot more to the story than just the story.

Jung-hyun followed Yeji’s instructions and often asked for changes to the script to eliminate contact with his female co-stars. The scene was in chaos. The staff protested vehemently, and Jong-hyun had to drop out of the drama due to emotional damage. In the drama, Jong-hyun’s role was that of a man who drowned in the ocean.

This is not the only scandal that has surfaced with Yeaji. When the “brainwashing scandal” broke out, there were many posts on the Internet accusing her of power harassment and moral harassment.

The content is intense. The content of the posts was intense: “For a small mistake, they blew cigarette smoke in my face and got angry,” “They didn’t treat me like a human being. When Yeaji was in a bad mood and skipped a meal, the staff made her not eat either. During an all-night shoot, when a crew member was licking candy to wake up, he suddenly became furious. “You’re eating candy while I’m working! He scolded her.

Yeaji’s agency apologized and denied any power harassment, saying, “We are deeply sorry for causing concern to many people due to our immature personal feelings in love. However, Yeaji was absent from the preview of the movie “Memories of Tomorrow” last April, in which she starred. The controversy cast a shadow over her career, as the cosmetics ad she appeared in was removed from YouTube.

Will her first drama in eight months be aired without incident? Interest in Yeaji’s performance is growing.
