In the midst of the revelation that reality show participant Seo Min-jae (who changed her name to Seo Eun-woo) from Channel A's dating reality program 'Heart Signal 3' is alleging her boyfriend is evading responsibility related to pregnancy, her boyfriend's side has stated their position.
On the 5th, the legal representative of boyfriend Mr. A, Roel Law Firm, noted in an official statement, "Seo Eun-woo posted several photos directly exposing Mr. A's face and his personal information on her own account on the 2nd," and pointed out, "Since the 3rd, they have been posting texts that could mislead people into thinking that Mr. A unilaterally cut off contact as soon as he learned about Seo Eun-woo's pregnancy, along with Mr. A's workplace and address.
Furthermore, they stated, "Mr. A clearly affirms that he has never acted to evade responsibility, as he continued to communicate with Seo Eun-woo after hearing the news of her pregnancy and discussed the future, informing his parents of the facts.
Meanwhile, Mr. A's side claimed that he was a victim of confinement and assault by Seo Min-jae. They stated, "Seo Eun-woo suddenly confronted Mr. A about things he did not actually say since April 29, making dozens of phone calls, and on April 30, she went to his address and honked for about five minutes until Mr. A came down," adding, "Moreover, Seo Eun-woo made Mr. A come to her address and, while preventing him from going outside, did not hesitate to assault him."
Ultimately, they judged that legal action against Seo Eun-woo is unavoidable and plan to hold her accountable as appropriate. Numerous speculative and defamatory statements regarding Mr. A have been confirmed in the comments on Seo Eun-woo's Instagram posts as well as various online platforms. They also indicated that they are considering taking separate action regarding this and requested that Seo Eun-woo cease her unlawful activities against Mr. A.
Earlier, Seo Min-jae disclosed captured messages exchanged with Mr. A on the 3rd. In the conversation, Seo Min-jae said, "What if I irresponsibly got pregnant and was abandoned?" and Mr. A replied, "Sister, I couldn't reply quickly because it was such a sudden situation. I have a terrible headache, so I'll contact you tomorrow. Let's talk together." However, when she could not get in touch with Mr. A, Seo Min-jae went to his house and sent a desperate message saying, "I'm at the apartment entrance. I'll wait."
Meanwhile, Seo Min-jae gained recognition by appearing in the 'Heart Signal 3' broadcast in 2020. At that time, she announced that she was the first female mechanic to work in a major corporation after graduating. In August 2022, Seo Min-jae self-disclosed drug use with Nam Tae-hyun on her Instagram. The police collected Seo Min-jae and Nam Tae-hyun's urine and hair in September last year and commissioned the National Forensic Service for analysis. Reports stated that the results showed a positive reaction for methamphetamine. Seo Min-jae was sentenced to 10 months in prison and 2 years of probation during the trial.
