Actress Choi Yeo-jin has confronted various allegations surrounding her.
On the 22nd, a video titled ‘Choi Yeo-jin, the actress, bravely made a request’ was posted on her YouTube channel ‘Choi Yeo-jin Channel’.
On that day, Choi Yeo-jin responded to the production team's suggestion to read comments by saying, “Our channel has a lot of supportive comments. There was even a comment saying that my channel is the only one with so many warm comments.”
Choi Yeo-jin said, “If you search for what fans are worried about, it will come up. Moreover, I received a call from Bae Jung-nam last night. He is a friend of over 20 years. He said, ‘I almost believed it too,’ which means even an old friend was almost deceived. He gave me genuine advice saying, ‘If you stay quiet, you will suffer too much, so take all necessary measures.’”
She continued, “I don’t want to respond to every single detail, but many people are reacting and believing in these absurd stories. Once I experienced it, I thought, ‘I need to do something about this.’ Because it has crossed the line, and my acquaintances are getting hurt. If I think positively, I can endure it, but many people are suffering.”
Choi Yeo-jin searched her name on YouTube. As a result, a video titled ‘The Reason Why Choi Yeo-jin's Husband and Ex-Wife Cult Allegations Are Coming Up’ appeared. Choi Yeo-jin clarified, “Just because two letters are the same in the four-character name, it has become an issue related to a specific group, but that is absolutely not the case. I have no relation to it at all, and I am non-religious.”
Additionally, regarding the rumor that she lived with her fiancé's ex-wife, she stated, “I have never lived in the same house even once. There are ten houses here, and I was living alone in one of them. The system itself does not allow us to live under the same roof, and the ex-wife ran a restaurant. So, I had no choice but to eat there. It was portrayed as if I was provided with accommodation and meals, but that is not true. I spent a lot of money.”
She added, “They say I called them mom and dad, but I have never called them that even once. It was just a nuance that they took care of me like a mom and dad. If you pick at every little thing like this, it’s just a matter of arguing over words.”
She continued, “Looking at the relationships mentioned online, it seems strange to me. Eating together, sleeping over, and calling them mom and dad. But they are just close friends. If you think about it that way, it doesn’t make sense. My fiancé and his ex-wife’s marital bond has ended, but they support each other.”
Finally, Choi Yeo-jin said, “This has crossed the line beyond Andromeda. The reason I am talking about this, even though I don’t want to, is that there should be no more speculation, rumors, or fiction. From today, it should stop, and we should not have to see each other’s faces. Please take down the videos and comments. Do not torment me.”
