Media personality Han Seo Hee recently stirred up trouble by sharing what she claimed to be a KakaoTalk conversation with actor Ahn Hyo Seop.

In the alleged conversation:

Ahn Hyo Seop: What for?

Han Seo Hee: Let's order a lot of room service and have dinner at my hotel.
I won't be paying for anything.
Or we could have intimate relations.
Reply quickly.
Are you ignoring me?
Do you want trouble?

Ahn Hyo Seop: Why are you talking so threateningly?

Han shared these screenshots in a random open chat room on KakaoTalk. The conversation suggested a close relationship between them, with Han inviting Ahn to her hotel.

After the issue gained attention, Han posted on Instagram, denying everything and stating that she had fabricated the whole thing.

On February 8, 2024, it was reported that Ahn had filed a lawsuit against Han for defamation and slander, among other charges.

Ahn's lawyer argued that Han's messages harmed Ahn's reputation by sharing the conversation in an open chat room, where an unspecified number of people could see it, causing it to spread. The messages also hinted at a romantic involvement between Ahn and Han.

Despite Han's claim that she made up the messages, she also posted a photo of her stay at a hotel on the same day, leading to more speculation from fans. Han has a history of using her connections to celebrities to create controversies.

Netizens' comments:

"Good for him! You have my support."

"I like this approach. No media drama, just a lawsuit."

"It's time to put an end to her story."

"Finally, someone took action."

"Not her again… She ruins others' careers because she lacks talent."

"I still don’t get why she has ‘fans’."

"She'll play the victim soon."

"She should be in jail. She traps people and then blackmails them."

"He can choose anyone; why pick someone who could ruin his career?"

Choi Si Hoon, known from Single’s Inferno and newlywed husband of singer Ailee, is facing backlash after being linked to a controversy from Wavve’s queer reality show ToGetHer.

Fans discovered that Choi is allegedly the CEO of the influencer agency representing Ri Won, a cast member now at the center of a growing scandal.

The situation started when castmate Han Gyeol spoke up, claiming Ri Won once suggested an overseas trip that felt more like a shady meeting than a casual hangout.

“I thought it was a fun vacation invite at first,” Han Gyeol said, “but when they started talking about meals and date-like things, I realized something was wrong. It felt like an inappropriate setup.”
Han Gyeol added, “Using someone’s sexuality as a shield for suspicious actions is not okay in this industry.”

Ri Won responded by saying it was all a misunderstanding and that the trip was mentioned casually during a conversation about food. “We joked about going to that country after talking about food,” Ri Won said.

However, things got more intense when Ri Won admitted to having a past as a 'beotbang' (adult streaming) BJ. “I know I’m not trustworthy right now, and I appeared on TV while hiding my past. That’s why I shared some proof—I was desperate,” Ri Won explained.

Ri Won also shared a blurred message from another cast member that accused them of fake dating and lying about knowing someone from Billboard. “You said you’d introduce me to a Billboard contact. Then give me their name and title,” the message read. “You just keep switching your targets.”

Ri Won replied, “He’s the team leader at Billboard Korea and also my influencer agency CEO.”
This comment led online users to dig deeper—and some claimed the CEO Ri Won mentioned is none other than Choi Si Hoon, Ailee’s husband.

Currently on his honeymoon with Ailee, Choi is now getting unwanted attention. Some netizens brought up his alleged past as an adult BJ and now, his possible involvement in this controversy.

On Ailee’s Instagram post from April 30, one fan wrote, “Unnie, sorry to bother you during your honeymoon, but please search Choi Si Hoon’s name. A female BJ said she’s signed to his company, and he supposedly arranged a meeting for her with a just-turned 19-year-old girl.”

As the issue grew, Ri Won spoke out again on May 1 to calm things down. “The person I mentioned in the messages was just someone who gave me advice,” Ri Won clarified. “He’s not my agency CEO, like some people assumed. I thought he could help with music, but he never made any business offer.”

Ri Won ended by saying, “I’m sorry for causing any confusion and discomfort to others with my personal remarks.”

So far, Choi Si Hoon and Ailee have not made public statements about the situation.
