Actor Kim Jung-hyun is drawing renewed attention with a meaningful reaction that recalls the 'gaslighting controversy' with his former lover, actress Seo Yea-ji.
On the 23rd, Kim Jung-hyun created a subtle atmosphere during a conversation with colleagues regarding romance questions on the KBS 2TV entertainment program 'Heart on Wheels' (hereinafter 'H.O.W'). The broadcast featured scenes of the 'Jung siblings' men Boom, Ahn Jae-hyun, Kim Jung-hyun, and Kim Jae-won wrapping up their day with sincere conversations.
When older brother Boom asked, 'Do you have a girlfriend?', Kim Jung-hyun hesitated for a moment and then continued with a meaningful expression.
Kim Jung-hyun was plunged into controversy in 2021 during his relationship with Seo Yea-ji, which he received a huge shock from. During the drama press conference at the time, there was controversy over his apathetic attitude and excessive emotional fluctuations, and subsequent text messages revealed circumstances where he acted according to Seo Yea-ji's controlling demands, provoking public outrage.
Afterward, Kim Jung-hyun bowed his head in a lengthy handwritten apology regarding his relationship with Seo Yea-ji and the situation at the time, and he temporarily suspended his activities due to health issues before returning with a drama in 2022.
Through this 'H.O.W', Kim Jung-hyun, who has appeared in an entertainment program for a long time, is stepping into a new chapter while shaking off the past. However, his cautious attitude towards romance-related questions makes it difficult to erase the impression that he is still carrying the aftereffects of the controversy.
Meanwhile, 'H.O.W' is an observational entertainment program with the concept of a mobile convenience store that brings daily necessities to villages, featuring Kim Jung-hyun, Lee Min-jung, Boom, Ahn Jae-hyun, and Kim Jae-won. It has received a good response, entering the top 10 on domestic Netflix just a week after its broadcast.
