Alice Sohee, who has retired from the entertainment industry, and 100 billion won CEO Ji Yoon-mi said there is "absolutely no forgiveness" regarding outrageous rumors.
On the 31st, Ji Yoon-mi, a businessperson worth 100 billion won who gained fame from Comedy TV's 'Ulzzang Generation 7,' held a Q&A session with fans over the weekend and received an unpleasant question. An internet user asked, "I heard that Alice Sohee met her husband through work, is that true? And the ulzzang Ji Yoon-mi as well," to which Ji Yoon-mi strongly refuted.
He wrote, "What is this, a new type of nonsense? Wow, it's really easy to turn someone into a barwoman in an instant. In the future, if anyone claims I was a barwoman, I would appreciate it if they could provide photos showing where I worked. If anyone has seen me out having fun, please let me know a real person who hung out with me. Otherwise, if there are any older sisters who worked with me, please come forward."
Ji Yoon-mi, who has even hinted at legal action, noted, "Our lawyer must be really tired," and asserted, "I firmly believe there is absolutely no forgiveness for such statements."
Sohee, who is from Alice, also denied the absurd rumors.
On the same day, Sohee said, "Huh..? What is work? I met my husband at a birthday party of an older sister I shot with, right?" and stated, "I need to know the personal details to file a lawsuit, so if anyone knows, please let me know," clarifying that she met her husband at a friend's birthday party.
She continued, "It seems like there are really many people spreading nonsensical rumors," and added, "But I won't let it bother me. I'm living happily. I'll try my best to post on Instagram often," leaving behind a photo.
The released photo shows Sohee enjoying golf in an outdoor field. Although she left the entertainment industry, Sohee has shared happy moments such as recent golf selfies, visits to ski resorts, and travels abroad.
Following the malicious rumors, Alice Sohee and Ji Yoon-mi firmly denied the claims, saying, "I need to know the personal details to file a lawsuit," and "Our lawyer must be really tired. There is absolutely no forgiveness for such remarks," hinting at strong countermeasures.
Meanwhile, Sohee became the runner-up on SBS's audition program 'K-pop Star Season 6 - The Last Chance' in 2017, and debuted in the music industry that year as a member of Alice. She actively worked as the main vocalist and main dancer, and later appeared on TVING's 'After School War Activities' while also pursuing acting. However, in April of last year, she announced her retirement from the entertainment industry after announcing her marriage to a businessman 15 years her senior.
At that time, the agency stated to OSEN, "It is correct that Alice's Sohee is getting married to her boyfriend, and although her exclusive contract will expire soon, she has decided not to renew it," and added, "With the marriage, Sohee decided to retire from the entertainment industry because she has wanted to start a happy family quickly with the person she loves since she was young."
Ji Yoon-mi began her career through the Comedy TV's 'Ulzzang Generation' series in the past. She gained great popularity for her tall stature, small face, and attractive visuals, and appeared in the KBS2 drama 'Who Are You - School 2015,' which ended in June 2015. She also attracted attention by appearing in the MBC variety show 'Love of a Fool' which aired in 2019. Currently, after marriage, she has given birth to a child and is working.
