Actress Choi Yeo-jin cried over rumors surrounding herself and her fiancé.
On the 24th, SBS aired an episode of 'Same Bed, Different Dreams Season 2 - You Are My Destiny,' featuring Choi Yeo-jin and her fiancé Kim Jae-wook. It was a preview for the segment scheduled to air on the 31st.
Choi Yeo-jin made an appearance with her fiancé, expressing, "I’ve been broadcasting for 20 years, and it feels strange," and added, "I am formally introducing this man to you all for the first time. I am going to marry him now."
In the following video, Choi Yeo-jin stated during a camping trip, "We have to get married when spring comes," to which her fiancé replied, "Thank you so much. But I feel really sorry. I hate being misunderstood because of me."
Later, Choi Yeo-jin had a phone call with an acquaintance. The acquaintance said, "I watched it on YouTube. You must be very upset," expressing frustration with, "I'm a witness. Why are there so many rumors saying otherwise?" Choi Yeo-jin hung up while shedding tears.
Choi Yeo-jin revealed her feelings, stating, "There have been a lot of malicious comments and negative stories on the internet regarding the start of my relationship with this person," and noted, "It has been really tough for me. "
The subsequent video showed Choi Yeo-jin delightedly receiving a proposal.
Previously, Choi Yeo-jin appeared on SBS's 'Happily Ever After' in August last year, revealing that she was dating a sports entrepreneur seven years older than her, stating, "(My boyfriend) has been married once. He runs a business focused on seasonal sports. We met while working out and acted like friends for a long time. At first, he wasn't my type. As time went on, I found him to be a really good person. He is my tall uncle."
In particular, Choi Yeo-jin appeared on tvN's 'On and Off' in 2020 before her fiancé's divorce, alongside Mr. Kim and his wife. At that time, Choi Yeo-jin mentioned that she spent five days a week in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province, learning water sports, and lived with Mr. Kim’s family, helping out with chores. She even said she felt like his ex-wife was like a father and mother to her, stating, "We eat three meals together as a family."
As news broke that Choi Yeo-jin was to marry Kim, who had appeared on the show at that time, netizens spread rumors online, questioning, "Did you live with the ex-wife?" and "Isn't Choi Yeo-jin involved in their divorce?" through YouTube and various community platforms.
The production team stated, "All content, including the husband controversy, will be revealed," and urged viewers to confirm through the broadcast.
