Actress Choi Yeo-jin has addressed various rumors surrounding herself point by point and has taken a direct approach.
Choi Yeo-jin confessed her romantic relationship in August last year and announced her marriage for June. After this, the past relationship between Choi Yeo-jin and her boyfriend was reexamined, leading to various suspicions including infidelity.
Choi Yeo-jin's fiancé appeared as Choi Yeo-jin's 'Gapyeong family' on the tvN program "On and Off," which aired in 2020. At that time, the boyfriend was still married, and the ex-wife of the fiancé also appeared on the show.
At that time, Choi Yeo-jin referred to her fiancé and his ex-wife as "Mom and Dad," conveying a friendly atmosphere while eating together. However, a few years later, when it became known that Choi Yeo-jin was dating this man, speculation arose about infidelity, and the two appeared on SBS's "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny" to clarify.
Although the ex-wife herself stepped in to clear up misunderstandings, rumors have persisted, and Choi Yeo-jin has once again addressed the issue through her YouTube channel.
Choi Yeo-jin said, "I don't want to respond to every single detail, but I couldn't just stand by seeing so many people react to and believe ridiculous stories," she noted, explaining her decision to share the truth for the sake of those around her, stating, "I crossed the line, and my friends are being hurt by it."
First addressing the suspicions about her fiancé and his ex-wife, Choi Yeo-jin firmly denied, "It is absolutely not true that it's related to a specific group just because two letters out of the business name match. I have seen many in our country called Eden. It's completely unrelated, and I am agnostic."
She continued, "They say people seize phones when they enter here. I was not detained, and I still have my phone. I was not gaslighted," adding, "I saw something very funny. They mentioned a crown that the director wrote as decisive evidence, but I bought it myself. I even got a message from that specific religion. They told me not to say anything publicly, but please, don't say it's not true."
Regarding the 'living together' allegations involving her fiancé and his ex-wife, he stated, "I have never stayed under the same roof, not even once," and added, "The activity system itself cannot allow us to live under the same roof, and his ex-wife ran a restaurant. That's why I had no choice but to eat there, and while it appeared on the show as if I received all meals and lodging, that is not true. I spent a lot of money. It's an expensive sport."
Additionally, regarding the claims that she referred to them as "Mom and Dad," she said, "I have never called them Mom or Dad even once. The implication was that they care for me like Mom and Dad," and she denied the speculation about wearing couple outfits with her fiancé during past filming, stating, "All three of us wore the same brand. Regular members who come often all wear this brand. It's not a couple look."
about rumors of discord with his ex-wife, he emphasized, "We never fought," and when asked about the controversy regarding the ex-wife's 'thank you' remark, he noted, "Isn't that what she meant? Some people interpreted it as, 'You should live once. Thank you,' but I am not good at expressing myself. I know more than anyone how much she suffered, so I comforted her. It is totally not like that."
Finally, Choi Yeo-jin said, "There are too many strange novels being produced about the fake, sensational, conjectured controversies surrounding my announcement of my relationship and marriage. I wonder why I have to respond to these nonsensical stories," adding, "Since they crossed the line too much, I thought I needed to address them. It's going to Andromeda. No more conjecture, rumors, or novels. Please, let this stop today and let's avoid seeing each other's faces. I hope you will take down the videos and comments."
In addition, Choi Yeo-jin's side announced legal action against malicious comments, stating, "The legal team is currently collecting and reviewing cases of malicious online postings, malicious comments, and the spread of false facts. We will respond to prevent indiscriminate content from spreading to protect the artist's rights, so please be cautious not to become involved in unfortunate matters."
