There has been news about actress Seo Ye Ji's comeback project.

The first broadcast date of tvN's 'Eve', a comeback drama of actress Seo Ye Ji, who was caught up in various suspicions such as gaslighting, school violence, and academic controversy, was delayed. In addition, it was decided not to hold a production presentation as an exceptional case.

On May 20th, tvN's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Eve' announced, "We would like to inform you that 'Eve' has been delayed for a week. We inevitably have to postpone the formation in order to improve the completeness of the play. We ask for your understanding."

There is no production presentation. According to the known contents, it was decided not to proceed due to the filming schedule such as post-production for the drama.

The press conference for 'Eve' drew attention as it was predicted that Seo Ye Ji would stand in public for the first time after various controversies. However, her production presentation was canceled and Seo Ye Ji's work was delayed in public.

Seo Ye Ji was embroiled in controversy over 'gaslighting' when she was involved in her acting activities when she was dating actress Kim Jung Hyun in the past, and manipulated her so that she could not interact with female actors.

At the time, Seo Ye Ji's side was correct that she was dating Kim Jung Hyun, but she denied the allegation that Kim Jung Hyun had to drop out of her drama at Seo Ye Ji's request.

Since then, Seo Ye Ji has been accused of forgery of academic backgrounds and perpetrators of school violence. Regarding the allegations of forgery of her academic record, Seo Ye Ji explained, "She received a notification of acceptance to the Complutense University of Madrid in Spain and prepared for admission, but as she started her activities in Korea, she could not attend college normally." She denied allegations of school violence.

Seo Ye Ji stopped activities in April last year when the allegations were raised. Around the same time, she didn't even appear in public, including at movie premieres and conferences where she was released.

tvN's 'Eve', which has already received a lot of attention even before it aired as Seo Ye Ji's comeback work, is a romantic melodrama that deals with the story of a 2 trillion won divorce lawsuit by a conglomerate who has overturned Korea. In the drama, Seo Ye Ji takes on the role of Irael, a woman who designed a plan for revenge for 13 years to destroy the 0.1% of Korea.

'Eve' was originally scheduled to air on May 25, but will be aired for the first time at 10:30 pm on June 1, which has been delayed by a week.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
