Seo Ye Ji is set to make her acting comeback after stumbling into a gaslighting scandal. The actress has been out of the public eye for the past four years. Her last work, the Korean drama The Eve aired in 2022 amidst continued criticism from Korean netizens.
On Thursday May 8, 2025, SpoTV News exclusively reported on Seo Ye Ji's latest Korean drama offer. She is being eyed to be the main player in a webtoon adaptation, the Korean drama Forest of Humans which carries the horror-thriller genre. The news was confirmed by SUBLIME as the agency that houses Seo Ye Ji.
The actress is still considering the offer of the Korean drama Forest of Humans after recently guesting on the television shows Heo Young Man's Food Travel and SNL Korea. "Seo Ye Ji received an offer to star in the new drama Forest of Humans and is reviewing the offer," SUBLIME said in a statement, as reported by Soompi.
This is not the first time Seo Ye Ji has starred in a horror-thriller. Her acting skills were recognized by the public after appearing in the Korean drama Save Me (2017) and two suspense films Warning: Do Not Play (2019) and Recalled (2021).
Adapted from a popular webtoon, the Korean drama Forest of Humans highlights a case of violence and death that unfolds when a facility housing psychopathic killers gathers to conduct experiments and become paralyzed.
Seo Ye Ji's character in the Korean drama Forest of Humans has not been revealed. The production team is still discussing which streaming platform will air Forest of Humans. What is certain is that this horror-thriller drama is intended for adult audiences because of the gripping content shown.
The scandal involving Seo Ye Ji and Kim Jung Hyun was revealed in 2021. According to Dispatch's report, Seo Ye Ji was the reason behind her ex-lover, Kim Jung Hyun's rude attitude towards SNSD's Seohyun during the press conference for the Korean drama Time in 2018.
At that time, Seo Ye Ji forbade Kim Jung Hyun from having physical contact with Seohyun SNSD or the female production team on the set of the drama Kora Time. As a result of the scandal, Seo Ye Ji lost her contract with several brands that she worked with. She also canceled her role in the horror-thriller drama Island.
This year, Seo Ye Ji started her comeback in the entertainment industry as a guest star on the television show Heo Young Man's Food Travel, on Sunday March 30, 2025. Where she shared her difficulties in returning to acting due to a 'misunderstanding'.
Seo Ye Ji then appeared on the television show SNL Korea, on Saturday April 12, 2025, presenting a parody of her scandal with Kim Jung Hyun. Not a few Korean netizens criticized Seo Ye Ji for allegedly belittling the gaslighting scandal and making it a joke.
