Actress Choi Yeo-jin (41), who is about to get married, directly addressed various rumors surrounding her fiancé. She stated, “These stories have grown too big to laugh off,” dismissing the absurd rumors while expressing gratitude and apologies to her husband’s ex-wife.
Choi Yeo-jin will appear on MBC’s variety show ‘Radio Star’ airing on the 28th, where she will directly clarify rumors that arose after her wedding announcement, such as chaebol rumors, infidelity rumors, and cult leader rumors.
She firmly drew the line by saying, “It’s not true at all,” explaining that “exaggerated interpretations arose due to her husband’s appearance and past career history.”
Choi Yeo-jin is set to marry businessman Kim Jae-wook, who is 7 years older, on June 1st. After revealing her love story with her fiancé through SBS’s variety show ‘Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 – You Are My Destiny’ last March, infidelity allegations arose among some viewers as it was revealed they had appeared on a reality program together in the past.
At that time, she appeared in scenes living with Mr. Kim’s ex-wife, Ms. Shim, while learning water leisure activities. Scenes of them wearing couple T-shirts and sunglasses caused misunderstandings. Choi Yeo-jin explained, “It was just a reality shoot during a class, and the items were sponsored, not for couples.”
Moreover, when Mr. Kim’s GAPYONG-based 2,200-pyeong water leisure business was revealed, ‘chaebol rumors’ were raised, and further cult leader rumors arose simply because the business used the name ‘Eden.’ Choi Yeo-jin strongly denied these, calling them “groundless speculations.”
Particularly, Choi Yeo-jin said, “My ex-husband’s ex-wife actively resolved the misunderstandings. She isn’t someone who even takes selfies, but she’s been too exposed,” expressing, “I am very thankful and also feel very sorry.”
