According to an official from the agency's sub-lime on the 8th, Seo Ye-ji has received a proposal for casting the lead role in the new drama 'Human Forest' and is considering positively.
Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, 'Human Forest' is a work about violence and death caused by the paralysis of a camp that collects psychopathic killers for experiments.
Seo Ye-ji, who was embroiled in controversy over his former lover's gaslighting and alleged power abuse, had a hiatus after tvN's drama 'Eve' aired in 2022.
Attention was drawn to Seo Ye-ji's move, which started her return to acting for the first time in about three years.
Earlier in April 2021, Seo Ye-ji was embroiled in a controversy over Kim Jung-hyun's gas lighting. Kim Jung-hyun was cast as the male lead of the MBC drama 'Time', but he was criticized for being rude to his counterpart Seo-hyun at the production presentation and dropping out of the work. However, suspicions were raised that Kim Jung-hyun's words and actions were caused by the owner of Seo Ye-ji, who was in a relationship at the time.
According to the Kakao Talk message conversation released at the same time, Seo Ye-ji instructed Kim Jung-hyun to revise the script without any love spirit or touch with the actress, and asked the staff to be as hard as possible without even greeting them.
In response, Seo Ye-ji said "The controversy over Kim Jeong-hyun was not caused by Seo Ye-ji. At that time, Kim Jung-hyun also asked Seo Ye-ji, who was filming another drama, not to film the kiss scene, but the jealous conversation between the lovers was exchanged, such as Seo Ye-ji 'Then don't do it either'. This is a common love fight," he explained.
