Actress Seo Yea-ji has directly addressed rumors related to herself. She clarified that there is no connection to actor Kim Soo-hyun and his cousin, director Lee Robe.
Seo Yea-ji said on the 13th through her official fan cafe, "As a human being, I also feel overwhelmed, exhausted, fed up, sad, and suffocated." She added, "I kept holding it in over and over again... Without realizing it, I replied to this comment and then deleted it."
Along with this, she uploaded a screenshot of a comment on her personal media social account. One netizen commented, "Sister, did you cheat when Kim Soo-hyun was managing his relationship status? Please don't disappoint us a second time. I just read the news on TikTok."
Seo Yea-ji expressed her frustration, stating, "I wish this would stop now. I have no relationship with him and his brother. I don't even know why I have to clarify this, but today I'm feeling very frustrated."
In April 2021, Seo Yea-ji was embroiled in suspicion of being in a romantic relationship with Kim Soo-hyun and director Lee Robe, who is known to be his cousin. In June 2020, the late Kim Yong-ho claimed a love triangle among Seo Yea-ji, Kim Soo-hyun, and director Lee Robe, asserting that Seo Yea-ji dated director Lee Robe after breaking up with Kim Soo-hyun.
At that time, Seo Yea-ji and Kim Soo-hyun were working together in the drama 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay.' The dating rumors did not spread widely, and Seo Yea-ji and Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, did not specifically comment on the related rumors.
As suspicions arose that Kim Soo-hyun had previously been dating the late Kim Sae-ron, the suspicion of a love triangle involving Seo Yea-ji, Kim Soo-hyun, and director Lee Robe gained renewed attention. The netizen who wrote the comment demanded clarification from Seo Yea-ji, believing the past rumors.
Seo Yea-ji did not express her position when rumors about Kim Soo-hyun and director Lee Robe surfaced, but she directly denied the allegations, expressing frustration at the netizen's demand for clarification.
Gold Medalist is the agency to which Seo Yea-ji, Kim Soo-hyun, and the late Kim Sae-ron belonged. Seo Yea-ji broke ties with the agency after being embroiled in gaslighting controversy with actor Kim Jung-hyun in 2021. The late Kim Sae-ron was with the agency from Jan. 1, 2020, to Dec. 1, 2022.
Meanwhile, on the 16th of last month, one day after the late Kim Sae-ron passed away on the 17th, Seo Yea-ji posted a picture of a chrysanthemum without any additional words on her account and attended the funeral to pay her respects.
Recently, the YouTube channel 'Garoseyro Research Institute' claimed in a live broadcast that Kim Soo-hyun dated the underage Kim Sae-ron, causing a stir. In response, Kim Soo-hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, stated, "The claims made by Garoseyro on their YouTube broadcast regarding actor Kim Soo-hyun are clearly false," adding, "We will consider the strongest legal response possible."
