Voice actor and broadcaster Seo Yu-ri has announced that she is currently in a romantic relationship. Recently, Seo Yu-ri, who faced controversy over her appearance on an Excel grants, revealed that her romantic partner is a legal professional she met through a marriage information company.
On the 25th, Seo Yu-ri and Nancy Lang appeared as guests on the YouTube channel "Is this the real final?" on the "Sister Party," where they shared various stories.
In the video, Seo Yu-ri, in response to the question, "How long has it been since you became a divorcee?" said, "It has been exactly one year," adding, "Just like when I held my diploma and shouted 'Yay,' it has been a year." She continued, "In my case, I practiced marital chastity. I led a very sacred and holy life. I lived like Sister Teresa for five years."
Seo Yu-ri, who has been in a relationship since her divorce, shared her perspective on men, saying, "The ideal type is a kind and sexy man for a partner. But after becoming a divorcee, an economic sense (is paramount)," adding, "Honestly, (dating after divorce) has been constant. I am looking for connection through dating apps or marriage information companies that have a barrier to entry."
Seo Yu-ri confirmed that she is still in a relationship. She explained that the pajamas she wore on that day were a gift from her romantic partner, saying, "He was born in 1992 and works in the legal profession. We met through a marriage information company." Notably, Seo Yu-ri remarked, "Through a marriage information company or an app, I realized that I had been a frog in a well, meeting people from job fields I didn't know about."
Seo Yu-ri also revealed that she has mostly paid off her significant debt after the divorce. She stated, "The debt accrued after the divorce amounts to about 2 billion won. I have currently paid off about 1.3 billion won, and while friends around me suggested filing for bankruptcy, since I had borrowed my name to my ex-husband, I will take responsibility and pay it off in full."
Seo Yu-ri, who has revealed her romantic relationship, also left a significant message through her social media account. She said, "Making a variety show interesting is the fate of the guest, and leaving an impact worth the appearance fee is the mission of the actor. So there are many moments when it becomes a sensational keyword, what you call 'media fodder.' Moreover, the broadcasting has editing, so not everything I said is included, and misunderstandings often arise."
She added, "Honestly, I think I have done my mission. It is enough if the broadcast was enjoyable. But the problem comes next. After the broadcast airs, unintended misunderstandings occur, and those around me, not me, get hurt. Then I question whether this is really right. Am I doing well? Sometimes I ask myself those questions," and added, "It has become familiar for my words to be misrepresented, for statements I did not make to be highlighted in articles, but it is still very unpleasant when those around me get hurt because of that. It is enough for me to adapt. In fact, that is the most painful part. Is it time for me to really put a period on this?"
Seo Yu-ri married producer Choi Byeong-gil in 2019 but faced a divorce in March of last year. Continuing her activities after the divorce, Seo Yu-ri recently became embroiled in controversy after appearing on so-called "Excel broadcasts," where guest BJ promote viewer sponsorship by engaging in suggestive behavior like dancing or stripping, and showing sponsorship rankings arranged like an Excel document.
In response, Seo Yu-ri stated, "I ultimately decided to leave the Excel grants, which had been controversial, of my own accord. I will end here as further mention may cause unnecessary harm to others. I will continue my activities in a different way. Thank you," along with her apology as she exited the Excel grants.
