Actress Ji So-yeon Faces Backlash for Japan Trip Video, Quietly Deletes It
Actress Ji So-yeon recently faced criticism after sharing a video of her trip to Japan with Yang Mi-ra, leading her to quietly delete the video.

According to TenAsia's findings on the 2nd, the latest video on Ji So-yeon's YouTube channel 'Ji So-yeon Song Jae-hee's Bellarie' is titled 'How Parenting Hell Becomes Heaven😈 (feat. Nash),' uploaded two weeks ago. The Japan trip video, uploaded on February 28th, has been removed.

Previously, on February 28th, Ji So-yeon uploaded a video titled 'I'm a Free Woman from Today!! (Japan Trip with Yang Mi-ra Unnie)' on her YouTube channel.

The video showcased the two traveling to Takamatsu, Japan, in mid-February.

The video drew attention as it revealed Yang Mi-ra undergoing a rigorous security check during the entry process. However, the video's release timing, just a day before Korea's Independence Movement Day, sparked backlash from netizens.

March 1st marks the national holiday commemorating the 1919 declaration of independence against Japanese colonial rule. On this day, many stars, including G-Dragon, Girls' Generation's Seohyun, and WINNER's Kang Seung-yoon, shared photos of the Korean flag or messages honoring the nation's martyrs on their social media.

Ji So-yeon deleted the video without an apology and shared a video on her social media enjoying the holiday with her children, without mentioning the controversy.

Meanwhile, Ji So-yeon, born in 1986, is 39 years old. She majored in Acting Arts at Sungkyunkwan University and debuted in 2013 with the MBC daily drama 'Shining Romance.' In 2017, she married actor Song Jae-hee. The couple overcame infertility after five years of marriage, welcomed a daughter in January 2023, and had twins in September last year.
