Actress Heo Yi Jae, who had previously retired from the entertainment industry, revealed the reasons behind her departure from the industry. This 35-year-old actress gained popularity through PRINCE HOURS, in which she starred alongside Se7en and Park Shin Hye. Unexpectedly, the artist who was once nicknamed 'Little Kim Tae Hee' due to her resemblance to the top actress, received harassment from one of her co-stars who asked her to sleep together. Here's the chronology.
Heo Yi Jae, Star of 'PRINCE HOURS', Reveals Sudden Retirement Reason, Once Asked to Sleep with Co-Star
Korean Drama
Heo Yi Jae last starred in a drama in 2009 and did not renew her contract with YG Entertainment in 2011. At that time, the actress coincidentally got married to a businessman and announced that she would temporarily stop her entertainment career to focus on her household.
10 years later, Heo Yi Jae, who became a guest star on Youtube Way Crayon Pop, revealed what she had actually experienced all this time. She admitted that this incident was the peak of her decision to leave the entertainment world.
The actress revealed that one of her co-stars, a married actor, initially treated her very well and warmly. But then he changed when his desires were not responded well by Heo Yi Jae.
According to Heo Yi Jae's story, the actor confronted her about why she didn't call during their shooting break. Of course, Heo Yi Jae felt that she didn't have to call her co-star, especially since they met almost every day with shooting hours exceeding 20 hours per day.
After being rejected, the actor started behaving badly towards Heo Yi Jae. He even called her vulgar names like 'You b*tch' every day. One day, the director approached her after the actor verbally abused her. This director revealed that her co-star was sexually interested in her and wanted to get closer to her.
Heo Yi Jae then approached her co-star to resolve the issue. However, the actor, who already had a wife, asked her to sleep with him, which she naturally refused. Upon hearing the rejection, the actor became extremely angry and even threw objects at her.
Because of the treatment from her co-actor, Heo Yi Jae, who felt that there would be no one to help her, could only hope that filming would end soon. From the actress's story, her co-actor is still active and successful in the entertainment industry until now.
On the other hand, Heo Yi Jae divorced her husband in 2015. Because of that, she returned to the entertainment industry in 2016 through the dramas YOU ARE A GIFT and WOO JOO'S CHRISTMAS.
