South Korean actress, Seo Ye Ji, is reportedly preparing to return to the small screen after a three-year hiatus. Reporting from Soompi on Thursday May 8, 2025, Seo is considering an offer to star in the latest thriller drama titled ' Forest of Humans .' The drama is adapted from a popular horror webtoon with deep psychological nuances and a suspenseful storyline.
According to an official statement from his agency, SUBLIME, Seo has received an offer for the lead role in the drama and is currently reviewing it. If he accepts the offer, 'Forest of Humans' will be his first acting project since starring in the drama 'Eve' in 2022. 'Forest of Humans' tells the terrifying story of a secret facility that houses psychopathic killers as part of a scientific experiment.
When the facility's systems malfunction and all controls fail, the dangerous inmates are unleashed. The situation descends into terrifying chaos, with a life-and-death struggle at the heart of the story. The drama is planned to air on an OTT platform and is aimed at adult audiences (19+), as reported by Allkpop on Thursday May 8, 2025.
The webtoon that the drama is based on has previously received a warm welcome from readers despite its adult rating. Its intense storyline and gripping atmosphere have earned it high ratings during its run and even garnered a loyal fan base. The actress, who was born in 1990, is known for her strong acting skills in psychological roles and mysterious characters.
Therefore, many people think that she is very suitable to star in 'Forest of Humans.' His return to the thriller-horror genre was enthusiastically welcomed by fans who missed seeing his performance on the small screen. Previously, Seo had a difficult time due to the controversy that emerged in 2021.
She was accused of negatively influencing actor Kim Jung Hyun's behavior during the filming of the drama 'Time' in 2018. Leaked private text messages showed that Seo allegedly asked Kim to avoid physical scenes with his co-star, Seohyun, leading to Kim acting cold on set and leaving the drama before it finished.
Although the agency denied the allegations at the time, Seo's reputation plummeted and he withdrew from several projects. After a period of silence from the entertainment world, Seo began to make public appearances again after signing an exclusive contract with SUBLIME in June 2023. One of his most eye-catching comeback moments was when he was a guest host on 'SNL Korea' season 7 in April 2024.
On the show, Seo showed his humorous side and was able to laugh at his image which was previously known as cold and elegant. His appearance on 'SNL Korea' was considered a bold first step in rebuilding his image in the public eye. With his potential involvement in 'Forest of Humans,' Seo seems to be planning his comeback very carefully yet confidently.
The public and the entertainment industry are now waiting for official confirmation from the production team and whether this talented actress will really return to play the main character in this suspenseful drama. One thing is for sure, 'Forest of Humans' is not just a comeback project for Seo Ye Ji, but also a defining moment in re-establishing her position as a top Korean actress in a genre that has long been her strength.
