My dearest yeyes,
I’m only human… So this has been overwhelming, stressful… and I’m so sick and tired of it all. It saddens me and suffocates me… I’ve been holding back and back… but I ended up responding to this comment. I deleted it, though.
I wish people would… please… stop. I am in no way affiliated with him and his cousin. I don’t even know why I have to explain myself… but I’m just extra frustrated tonight… Good night, yeyes.
Seo Ye Ji stated clearly that she is “in no way affiliated with him and his cousin.” She expressed confusion about why she needed to explain herself, but her frustration drove her to address the rumors.
Background of Allegations
Seo Ye Ji’s statement comes after allegations surfaced that she was used as a scapegoat to cover up issues at GOLD MEDALIST. These accusations followed a broader scandal involving Kim Soo Hyun and his cousin, Lee Sa Rang. A former employee alleged that Seo Ye Ji was framed as a staff/school bully to divert attention from the agency’s problems.
