Seo Ye Ji continues to receive negative publicity after being involved with the controversy surrounding Kim Jung Hyun and SNSD's Seohyun.
In a new report, cited by a South Korean publication, the "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" star faces a critical situation after advertisers have begun to cut their ties with the 31-year-old actress.
Companies have reportedly removed the "Lawless Lawyer" star from their PR lists and even from their brand campaigns.
This includes the health and lifestyle brand, New Origin, where Seo Ye Ji is the face of their "Inner Flora" line. Unfortunately, the outlet mentioned that her campaign photos were all removed from their Instagram account.
The same goes with the AER face mask, which introduced the actress as their female muse back in 2020. Based on their official website, there are no campaigns and photos of the actress endorsing their product.
Did Seo Ye Ji Manipulate Kim Jung Hyun?
Earlier this week, the "Save Me" actress has been caught up in a major scandal after Dispatch named her as the mastermind behind Kim Jung Hyun's harsh treatment towards his "The Time" co-star, Seohyun.
At the time, the 31-year-old actor portrays the role of the restaurant CEO Cheon Soo Ho alongside his love interest, Seol Ji Hyun, played by the Girl's Generation member.
Based on a series of texts released by the entertainment portal, Seo Ye Ji was accused of manipulating his then-boyfriend and instructing him to refrain from having physical contact with his onscreen partner.
Moreover, the actress demanded Kim Jung Hyun to request the scriptwriters to trim down "skinship" scenes which refers to intimate and non-sexual scenes.
Unfortunately, this caused Seohyun to break down during filming as the change of script would hinder the singer-actress from getting into her character.
