The cast member of 'Heart Signal 3,' Seo Min-jae (currently known as Seo Eun-woo), is at the center of controversy as she revealed her boyfriend's personal details alongside her pregnancy announcement. She has appointed a lawyer and has issued a statement.

According to a statement acquired exclusively by OSEN on July 7, the law firm OEN Law Office, representing Seo Min-jae, stated that Seo has conveyed her intentions regarding her boyfriend, Mr. Jeong, and rebutted Mr. Jeong's claims.

On this day, Seo's side said, "First, we apologize for causing concern regarding the relationship between Ms. Seo Eun-woo and her boyfriend, Mr. Jeong. What Ms. Seo Eun-woo desires from Mr. Jeong is to show a responsible attitude as the 'father of the child'" and emphasized, "And this requires 'sincere dialogue.'"

Seo's side claimed, "Mr. Jeong and Ms. Seo Eun-woo began dating around October 2024 with a serious relationship that was intended to lead to marriage. However, after Ms. Seo became pregnant, Mr. Jeong changed his attitude," expressing that, "Ms. Seo Eun-woo is very perplexed by Mr. Jeong's change in attitude and his current lack of response to her communications."

Continuing, they stated, "Nevertheless, Ms. Seo Eun-woo is enduring each day, focusing solely on the child she is expecting. What Ms. Seo desires from Mr. Jeong is to demonstrate a responsible attitude toward the child and to have a 'conversation' regarding this. Ms. Seo Eun-woo is now approaching the 9th week of her pregnancy and must maintain absolute psychological and emotional stability," explaining that "yet, Mr. Jeong has appointed a large law firm to threaten Ms. Seo Eun-woo with lawsuits for defamation, confinement, and stalking, thereby exerting psychological pressure."

Seo's side pointed out, "Such behavior by Mr. Jeong is something that should never be done to a pregnant woman who needs absolute stability in her early pregnancy. If Mr. Jeong has any minimal moral responsibility as the father of the child, he should never act in such a way," and added, "Mr. Jeong claims he was confined by Ms. Seo on the 30th of last month, but the very notion that Ms. Seo, who is smaller in stature and weaker than Mr. Jeong, could confine him is an absurd claim that is not logically acceptable."

In particular, they added, "On that day, Ms. Seo Eun-woo had to urgently visit the obstetrics and gynecology department due to abdominal pain while being with Mr. Jeong, so she left home alone to go to the hospital. The fact of confinement did not occur at all."

Additionally, Seo's side said, "We earnestly request once again. What Ms. Seo Eun-woo desires is the 'father of the child' and 'dialogue' for this. Mr. Jeong merely leaves an abstract statement saying he will take legal responsibility after birth without any mention of what responsibility he will actually take, and he does not respond at all to Ms. Seo's dialogues or leave any communication channels, thereby increasing Ms. Seo's anxiety."

Furthermore, they added, "Ms. Seo Eun-woo wishes to have sincere dialogue with Mr. Jeong regarding what kind of role he will take as the father of the child until she gives birth and what he will show after the child's birth. We sincerely request active cooperation so that Ms. Seo Eun-woo can safely give birth and bless the child's arrival."

Meanwhile, on the 2nd, Seo Min-jae revealed her pregnancy through a post on her social media, sharing an ultrasound photo, her boyfriend's social media account, a photo with his face shown, and the names of his company and school.

The post contained specific personal information about her boyfriend that made it difficult to view it as a simple pregnancy announcement, leading some netizens to react by asking, "Isn't this intentionally exposing (his) personal details?" which sparked controversy.

Following this, Seo Min-jae further disclosed text messages exchanged with her boyfriend, stating that she was unable to reach him. The messages included contexts in which Seo Min-jae had said, "I'm at the entrance of the APT., I'll wait for you," and the name of the APT. she resides in was also exposed, escalating the controversy.

In response, Mr. Jeong's legal representative, Roel Law Firm, stated in an official statement, "Ms. Seo Eun-woo posted multiple photos showing Mr. Jeong's face on her social media on the 2nd, along with his personal information. Starting from the 3rd, she has also posted content that may appear as if Mr. Jeong unilaterally cut off contact as soon as he learned about the pregnancy, including messages and his workplace and address."

Furthermore, they refuted, "Mr. Jeong has been consistently communicating with Ms. Seo Eun-woo after hearing the pregnancy news and has discussed the future, even informing his parents of the facts. He has not evaded responsibility," and instead claimed that Seo Min-jae has been making calls to Mr. Jeong over dozens of times regarding statements he did not actually say since the 29th of last month and even went to Mr. Jeong's house on the 30th, honking the horn for about five minutes until he came down.

Moreover, they claimed, "Not only did she prevent Mr. Jeong from leaving after bringing him to her residence, but she also did not hesitate to commit violence," and stated that "under these circumstances, Mr. Jeong felt that legal action was unavoidable and intends to hold Ms. Seo Eun-woo accountable for her actions.

Additionally, they raised their voice, saying, "There are also baseless speculations and defamatory comments regarding Mr. Jeong found in the comments of Ms. Seo Eun-woo's social media posts and various online platforms. We are considering separate responses to this, and Ms. Seo also requests that illegal activities against Mr. Jeong be stopped."

Full statement from OEN Law Office, representing Seo Eun-woo

Hello. We are the OEN Law Office, representing Ms. Seo Eun-woo.

First, we apologize for causing concern regarding the relationship between Ms. Seo Eun-woo and her boyfriend, Mr. Jeong. What Ms. Seo desires from Mr. Jeong is to show a responsible attitude as the 'father of the child,' and to have 'sincere dialogue' for this.

Mr. Jeong and Ms. Seo Eun-woo began dating around October 2024, developing a serious relationship intended to lead to marriage. However, after Ms. Seo became pregnant, Mr. Jeong changed his attitude. Ms. Seo is very perplexed by Mr. Jeong's change in attitude and his current lack of response to her communications.

Nevertheless, Ms. Seo Eun-woo is enduring each day, focusing solely on the child she is expecting. What Ms. Seo desires from Mr. Jeong is to demonstrate a responsible attitude toward the child and to have a 'conversation' regarding this.

Ms. Seo Eun-woo is now approaching the 9th week of her pregnancy and must maintain absolute psychological and emotional stability. Yet, Mr. Jeong has appointed a large law firm to threaten Ms. Seo Eun-woo with lawsuits for defamation, confinement, and stalking, thereby exerting psychological pressure.

Such behavior by Mr. Jeong is something that should never be done to a pregnant woman who needs absolute stability in her early pregnancy. If Mr. Jeong has any minimal moral responsibility as the father of the child, he should never act in such a way.

Additionally, Mr. Jeong claims he was confined by Ms. Seo Eun-woo on April 30, 2025, but to suggest that Ms. Seo, who is smaller and weaker than Mr. Jeong, could confine him is an absurd claim. Ms. Seo was with Mr. Jeong on April 30, 2025, but had to leave home alone for an urgent visit to the obstetrics and gynecology department due to abdominal pain, thus the incident of confinement did not occur.

We earnestly request once again. What Ms. Seo Eun-woo desires is the 'father of the child' and 'dialogue' for this. Mr. Jeong merely leaves an abstract statement saying he will take legal responsibility after birth without any mention of what responsibility he will actually take, and he does not respond at all to Ms. Seo's dialogues or leave any communication channels, thereby increasing Ms. Seo's anxiety.

Ms. Seo Eun-woo wishes to have sincere dialogue with Mr. Jeong regarding what kind of role he will take as the father of the child until she gives birth and what he will show after the child's birth. We sincerely request active cooperation so that Ms. Seo Eun-woo can safely give birth and bless the child's arrival.
