'You Know What?' Reporter Lee So-jung from TenAsia captures intriguing issues in the broadcasting world to stimulate the public's dopamine.
Seo In-young faced backlash in 2017 during the filming of JTBC's 'With You Season 2' for allegedly swearing at staff, which led to a negative public image. The controversy over her filming attitude and negative rumors continued, resulting in her disappearance from broadcasting activities.
During her hiatus, personal issues also surfaced. She married a non-celebrity businessman in February 2023, but news of their divorce broke in November 2024. Although her updates, such as a 10kg weight gain, became topics of interest during video interactions with fans, they did not lead to formal broadcasting activities.
Regarding her divorce, Seo In-young refrained from mentioning her ex-husband, emphasizing her personal realizations. She stated, "A quiet life doing nothing doesn't suit me. I realized that I need to communicate with people through my activities." She added, "I learned not to assume that initial emotions will last forever."
Seo In-young expressed her apologies to her family, saying, "My father and stepmother are very good people. My father is an elder, and both are devoted churchgoers, but they struggled a lot because of me." She candidly shared sensitive stories, focusing on her own faults rather than blaming others, which garnered positive reactions from netizens. The public sent messages of support, saying, "Even celebrities who committed crimes make comebacks, so there's no reason Seo In-young can't," and "It's great to see Seo In-young, once an icon of the times, return."
Despite the video's length of over 40 minutes, viewers found it highly engaging, with many watching until the end despite initially clicking out of curiosity. The absence of special performances and reliance solely on her unique charisma made the time fly by, earning praise for her first YouTube content in a long time, reaffirming her 'devilish star quality.'
Seo In-young has been loved for her exceptional singing ability and stage presence as a singer, as well as her unique character in entertainment shows. She showcased her distinct presence in various programs such as MBC's 'We Got Married' and Mnet's 'Seo In-young's Kaist,' leading fashion and beauty trends like the new shoe craze and choco mushroom hairstyle.
Born in 1984 and now in her 40s, there is growing interest in what path Seo In-young will take following the launch of her YouTube channel. As she stands before the public again after a long hiatus, attention is focused on whether she can continue her activities with a changed image and possibly experience another peak in her career.
