Actress Seo Yea-ji directly mentioned gaslighting.
In the newly released Coupang Play 'SNL Korea 7' on the 12th, Seo Yea-ji appeared as the host, challenging herself with various comedy skits.
That day, Seo Yea-ji appeared with a bright demeanor and her signature eye smile. Shin Dong-yup introduced her as 'a breathtakingly elegant and sophisticated voice owner, a premium actress.'
Seo Yea-ji said, 'Performing on a comedy stage in front of many people is a bit nerve-wracking, but I am excited and thrilled. It’s somewhat burdensome, but I will do my best to meet your expectations. I will do my utmost, leaving nothing out and immersing myself fully.'
Shin Dong-yup asked Seo Yea-ji how she would work hard specifically. Seo Yea-ji replied, 'I will gaslight the 'SNL' crew to make it fun,' which drew attention. Shin Dong-yup remarked, 'That's right. Seo Yea-ji's hobby is gaslighting,' and the 'SNL' crew raised their hands, saying they wanted to be gaslit, bringing laughter.
Seo Yea-ji's gaslighting controversy erupted in 2021. On April 12, 2021, it was reported that Kim Jung-hyun was dating actress Seo Yea-ji during the filming of 'Time' and had not filmed any romantic scenes, such as physical contact, at Seo Yea-ji's request.
According to reports at the time, Seo Yea-ji continually demanded Kim Jung-hyun to say 'no physical contact,' 'Mr. Kim, please remove all physical contact,' and 'change it into a romantic scene without physical contact.' Kim Jung-hyun faithfully followed Seo Yea-ji's demands, stating, 'You can only touch me, my hands' and 'I didn't even greet her.'
After the report, Seo Yea-ji withdrew from a project that was under discussion, and Kim Jung-hyun expressed his apologies in a written statement and took a period of reflection.
