Actress Choi Yeo-jin is facing difficulties due to malicious rumors ahead of her marriage. Choi Yeo-jin and her fiancé's ex-wife had lived together in the past, which led to the emergence of infidelity rumors.

In the teaser video released at the end of the broadcast of SBS's "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You're My Destiny" (hereinafter referred to as "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2") on the 24th, Choi Yeo-jin, who confessed to her relationship with a non-celebrity man seven years older than her last year, appeared.

Choi Yeo-jin introduced her fiancé, saying, "It feels strange because I am officially introducing you for the first time. I am going to marry this man now."

In the teaser video released that day, Choi Yeo-jin, while camping with her boyfriend, boldly expressed her affection saying, "When spring comes, what? We have to get married." However, her boyfriend expressed his distress, stating, "I am so grateful. But I am really sorry. If it weren't for me, there wouldn't have been misunderstandings. I hate being misunderstood so much."

Earlier, Choi Yeo-jin had confessed to her relationship through the SBS variety show "Shoe Off and Divorce Man" last August. At that time, Choi Yeo-jin stated, "I think it's time for me to talk. I have a partner now. He is truly my life's partner," revealing that she is in a relationship. Choi Yeo-jin explained, "(My boyfriend) is a non-celebrity seven years older than me and is in the sports business. He works in seasonal sports like summer water sports. We met while exercising and developed our relationship after being friends for a long time."

Choi Yeo-jin explained why she went public about her boyfriend, saying, "He is the opposite of my ideal type. He is shorter than me. There are pros and cons, but I have the desire to continue with him," and regarding why she disclosed it through 'Divorce Man,' she mentioned, "He has one experience. He is a divorcee."

Regarding her parents' reaction to dating a divorcee who is seven years older, she candidly stated, "How regrettable would it be for them? From my parents' perspective, even if they brought a perfect person, that part is something my mother has to handle. My choice is more important than my mother's choice. He is my person."

Despite that, Choi Yeo-jin referred to her boyfriend as "the man from nowhere," saying, "If he is handsome, I call him uncle; if he is not handsome, I call him the man from nowhere." She expressed her affection, saying, "At first, I drew a line. As we hung out as friends, he turned out to be a really good person. Looking back, he is my 'the man from nowhere.'"

However, as the past relationship between Choi Yeo-jin and her boyfriend was re-examined, infidelity allegations arose. Choi Yeo-jin's fiancé appeared as Choi Yeo-jin's 'family from Gapyeong' on tvN's 'On and Off' aired in 2020. At that time, her boyfriend was still married, and his ex-wife had also appeared on the show.

On the show, Choi Yeo-jin referred to her fiancé and his ex-wife as "people like my dad and mom," revealing their unique relationship. Notably, she stayed at their home while learning water skiing and helped with work, and the ex-wife also showcased a special bond by providing meals for Choi Yeo-jin.

A few years later, after the couple divorced, some netizens speculated that there might be an inappropriate relationship since it became known that Choi Yeo-jin was dating the man. In the broadcast preview, Choi Yeo-jin's fiancé directly mentioned it as a "uncomfortable misunderstanding." Later, a scene was released showing Choi Yeo-jin on a phone call with a woman, who said, "Yesterday, my younger sibling sent something, mentioning that something strange is floating around on YouTube."

Choi Yeo-jin said, "I also saw it," and the woman comforted her by saying, "That must have been really upsetting." Choi Yeo-jin expressed her feelings, saying, "It's quite upsetting," and the other person commented, "There are many rumors. I am a witness. They say I'm not involved, but there are many things being said." The identity of the person on the other end of the call has not been revealed, but there have been speculations that it might be the fiancé's ex-wife.

After finishing her call with the woman, Choi Yeo-jin shed tears, stating, "I felt that there are a lot of hateful comments and bad stories about the start of my relationship with him, so I think it has been quite difficult for me consistently." While opinions remain divided, interest is growing as to whether Choi Yeo-jin and her fiancé will clarify the "uncomfortable misunderstandings" during the live broadcast.
