As known, Seo Ye Ji came under scrutiny after Dispatch revealed her chat contents with Kim Jung Hyun, where she prohibited the actor from engaging in skinship in the drama TIME with Seohyun Girls Generation. Kim Jung Hyun made many requests to remove romantic scenes and physical contact from the production team, which were said to be Seo Ye Ji's desires.

Due to these requests, many changes had to be made by the TIME production team, both in terms of the script and the scenes. Furthermore, Kim Jung Hyun also treated women on the filming set, from his co-stars to the staff, very coldly. Because of this strangeness, the TIME drama staff finally spoke up, leading to the report by Dispatch.

6. Called Hypocrite

The chat content between Seo Ye Ji and Kim Jung Hyun has received strong reactions from netizens who consider their relationship unhealthy. In addition to being called possessive, Seo Ye Ji is also considered a hypocrite.

This is because Seo Ye Ji herself is free to engage in skinship while starring in LAWLESS LAWYER which aired in the same year as TIME. There are many scenes where Seo Ye Ji is intimate with Lee Jun Ki, such as kissing and hugging on the bed.
