More rumors about Seo Ye Ji have surfaced. When Kim Jung Hyun denied the dating rumor with Seo Ji Hye, his past texts with Seo Ye Ji were made public. With that, Seo Ye Ji turned out to be the one who manipulated Kim Jung Hyun when the two were still dating. Since then, she was alleged as a school bully, and her educational background in Spain turned out to be lies. In response, her agency explained that she “had been admitted to the Complutense University of Madrid in Spain. But she failed to attend college as she began her career in Korea.” However, there were more suspicions against her, including mistreating her staff and gaslighting TVXQ’s Yunho, whom she dated. With the continued rumors, Seo Ye Ji’s appearance on OCN’s Island became unclear. To make matters worse, she is now in danger of needing to cough up millions of dollars for breach of advertisement contracts.
