‘Heart Signal 3’ participant Seo Min-jae (now known as Seo Eun-woo) has been missing for two weeks after posting a note on social media, raising concerns among fans. Meanwhile, her attorney, who is handling the case, revealed her recent condition.

On the 5th, attorney A, who represents Seo Min-jae, told OSEN, ‘We occasionally keep in touch regarding the case. (There are) no particular health issues.’

Previously, Seo Min-jae had revealed on her social media on the 2nd of last month that she was pregnant. However, this raised some suspicions as she disclosed everything from her boyfriend’s face to her name, school, and workplace during the process.

Later, Seo Min-jae posted additional messages shared with her boyfriend, revealing that she had not been able to contact him. She stated, ‘Please help me. The person who got me pregnant contacted me saying they would sue me for stalking. They said there would be criminal charges. I have no money and no ability to hire a lawyer. What I want is just to discuss how to help with raising the baby.’

In this regard, Seo Min-jae’s boyfriend, Mr. Jung, hired a lawyer and began preparations to make an official statement. The law firm representing Jung issued a statement, revealing, ‘Seo Eun-woo posted several photos in which Mr. Jung’s face is directly exposed along with his personal details on her social media on the 2nd. Starting from the 3rd, it appears Mr. Jung unilaterally stopped contacting Seo Eun-woo as soon as he learned of the pregnancy, alongside posting message content that could be interpreted that way, including his workplace and address.’

‘Mr. Jung had been in regular contact with Seo Eun-woo to discuss the future after learning of the pregnancy and had informed his parents of the situation. He has never shirked his responsibilities,’ he argued. Furthermore, the Jung side claimed that Seo Min-jae contacted Jung dozens of times regarding things Jung had not said since the 29th of last month, and on the 30th, she went in front of Jung’s house and honked for about five minutes until Jung came down.

Additionally, ‘She brought Mr. Jung to her residence and restrained him from going outside, and even resorted to violence,’ and ‘In this situation, Mr. Jung deemed that legal action was unavoidable and plans to hold Seo Eun-woo accountable for her legal responsibilities,’ adding, ‘Comments on Seo Eun-woo’s social media posts, as well as various online platforms, are confirming speculations and defamatory statements about Mr. Jung. We are considering separate responses to this, and we request that Seo Eun-woo also halt her unlawful acts against Mr. Jung.’

Ultimately, Seo Min-jae also hired a lawyer and stated in a statement, ‘Mr. Jung started dating Seo Eun-woo around October 2024 with the intention of marriage. However, when Seo Eun-woo became pregnant, Mr. Jung changed his attitude. Seo Eun-woo is quite perplexed by Mr. Jung’s change in attitude and his current silence in responding to contact.’

‘Nevertheless, Seo Eun-woo is enduring each day thinking only of the child she is expecting. What Seo Eun-woo currently wants from Mr. Jung is to show responsible behavior towards the ‘child’ and to have ‘conversation’ for that. Seo Eun-woo is now in her 9th week of pregnancy and must achieve absolute peace psychologically and emotionally. However, Mr. Jung is not hesitating to exert psychological pressure by stating that he will sue Seo Eun-woo for defamation, restraint, and stalking.’

Seo Min-jae’s side stated, ‘Mr. Jung’s behavior is something that should never be done to a pregnant woman who needs absolute stability in the early stages of pregnancy. If Mr. Jung had the minimum moral responsibility as the father of the child, he would never engage in such behavior.’ They also pointed out, ‘Mr. Jung claims he was restrained by Seo Eun-woo on the 30th of last month, but the notion that Seo Eun-woo could restrain Mr. Jung, who is physically larger and stronger, is an absurd claim.’

In particular, ‘Seo Eun-woo had been with Mr. Jung that day but had to rush to the obstetrics-gynecology department due to abdominal pain, so she left home alone to head to the hospital. The fact of restraint simply did not occur.’

In addition, Seo Min-jae’s side reiterated, ‘We sincerely request once again. What Seo Eun-woo desires is a ‘father for the child’ and ‘conversation’ for that. Mr. Jung only left vague statements about taking ‘legal responsibility after birth’ without specifying what responsibilities he intends to take. He has been completely unresponsive to Seo Eun-woo’s requests for dialogue, blocking all communication channels, which only increases Seo Eun-woo’s anxiety.’

However, even after Seo Min-jae’s statement, there has still been no communication with her boyfriend, Mr. Jung. On the 15th of last month, Seo Min-jae publicly explained to OSEN, ‘There was no way. If I do nothing, and if I simply block it, I have no means to act.’ She also detailed that on April 30, discussions took place between both sets of parents, but Mr. Jung’s parents stated, ‘Even if she gives birth, we won’t put the child in the family register,’ and afterward, Mr. Jung told Seo Min-jae on the 2nd of May, ‘I won’t talk to you anymore, and I will take legal responsibility if you give birth,’ at which point the conversations ceased.

She stated, ‘There is a basic economic responsibility, but I also believe emotional responsibility is necessary. I only requested to establish a communication channel for accompanying visits to the hospital or checking the baby’s condition, and have never demanded money or proposed marriage.’ She added, ‘Saying he cannot put the child in the family register while stating he will take legal responsibility does not make sense. I want to hear his position on that. I have experienced harm and will be investigated accordingly through a police inquiry. We will talk about charges afterward. However, this matter is separate. I want to resolve this amicably for the child’s sake.’

However, on the 19th of the same month, Seo Min-jae posted on social media with the title ‘Note,’ stating, ‘Who could be experiencing mental and physical strain? Is it someone who is pregnant and struggling alone? Or is it someone who is secretly spending millions of won and hiring a large law firm to sue the baby’s mother for stalking? It seems my mother, just like me, given her text requesting to resolve things through conversation for the baby’s sake, is also going to sue for stalking,’ before ceasing her social media activities.

As concerns grew among fans over her whereabouts not being reported for more than two weeks, comments continue to flood social media from those curious about her recent condition. However, according to the attorney in charge, it has been reported that Seo Min-jae’s health is not in serious jeopardy.
