Girl group Jewelry alum singer Seo In Young met close senior singer Lee Ji Hye and recently candidly confessed her feelings after her divorce, including about dating.
On the 21st, a video titled "Why did Lee Ji Hye vs. Seo In Young cry their eyes out while talking about stories from 20 years ago that they are revealing for the first time?" was posted on the YouTube channel "Not an annoying attention seeker sister." The video depicted mixed-group S# member Lee Ji Hye meeting and reuniting with her close junior in the music industry, Seo In Young.
Seo In Young, who divorced her husband whom she married in 2023, has recently been generating buzz by running her personal YouTube channel "A reformed Seo In Young." Lee Ji Hye came to meet Seo In Young, who rapidly surpassed about 700,000 subscribers and is on the rise, to share some energy. Seo In Young and Lee Ji Hye have been close since Seo In Young's Jewelry debut in 2002, making their more than 20-year relationship feel familiar.
Having succeeded in a comeback after her divorce, Seo In Young said, "After hitting rock bottom, people separate, and those who won't contact you simply don't. Now I think, if someone contacts me again, I won't resent them. Of course, some hurt remains, so I try to remember it."
Especially when Lee Ji Hye asked about dating, Seo In Young confessed, "I have someone I'm seeing. Why shouldn't I date?" She said, "I married the first time because I thought the other person would be devoted to me," and added, "It's not that I don't want to remarry, but it's not something I'll do right away," expressing a more cautious stance on remarriage than during her first marriage.
She also revealed, "My mother passed away before my first marriage. So I rushed into marriage. But after marrying, it was so different from what I thought that I fell into depression."
About the recent praise on YouTube, Seo In Young said, "I'm anxious because it's going well. The positive comments are coming in so much. I was always the one who got only criticism, so I'm very anxious. Why is this happening?" drawing attention with a more cautious demeanor.
Because of that, Seo In Young was reluctant about divorce-themed variety shows like "Love after Divorce" and "Single's Inferno." Seo In Young said jokingly and cautiously, "I don't want to appear as a participant on 'Love after Divorce,' but I would like to go on as a host. 'Single's Inferno' is the same. But I couldn't do 'Divorce Reflection Camp.' I'd be too angry. I might hit a male participant. I haven't caused public trouble yet, but committing a crime is out of the question."
That said, Seo In Young was not taking a break from dating. She said, "There have been three men I met after the divorce who I then broke up with," and emphasized the existence of her current "someone I'm seeing." She also said, "I recorded about two songs," suggesting her unchanged vocal ability and the possibility of a comeback as a singer, raising fans' expectations.
