A number of Korean actresses have been involved in scandals that could have cost them their careers. Still, they were determined and strong, and they were able to get back on their feet and continue doing well in the business. Here are a few examples that stand out:
Seo Ye Ji
Many people disliked Seo Ye Ji after she was accused of controlling her boyfriend at the time, actor Kim Jung-hyun. She is best known for her part in It's Okay to Not Be Okay. In addition, she was involved in other scandals that put her job at risk. But Seo made a big comeback and still works in the field, which shows how strong she is.
Song Ji A
Song Ji-a, a contestant on the reality show Singles' Inferno, got a lot of bad press when she was caught wearing fake high-end items. She said sorry in public and stopped using social media. She eventually came back, reconnecting with her friends and fixing her public image.
Kim Tae Hee
In the beginning of her career, Kim Tae-hee, who is now one of Korea's most famous actresses, was accused of not being good at acting, especially in dramas like Stairway to Heaven and My Princess. Even though people didn't like her work at first, she worked hard to get better and is now a recognized and loved figure in the industry.
Han Ye Seul
In 2011, Han Ye Seul suddenly quit the set of the drama Spy Myung-wol, saying she was tired and being mistreated, which caused a huge stir. There was a lot of backlash, but she later went back to acting and rebuilt her career. She is still a famous and well-known actress.
Park Shin Hye
It was rumors and scandals about Park Shin-hye's personal life and relationships that put her in the spotlight. She is known for her parts in You're Beautiful and The Heirs. Park has stayed famous and is still one of the best actresses in Korean dramas, even though the public is watching her closely.
Goo Hye Sun
Goo Hye Sun who was popular for her part in Boys Over Flowers, was closely watched by many people during her public divorce from actor Ahn Jae Hyun. In spite of the problems it caused in her personal life, she kept working in the entertainment business and even started directing movies.
Lee Da Hae
People didn't like Lee Da Hae's acting, and reports that she had plastic surgery kept going around. She kept working despite the bad press, and now she's famous for her parts in hit shows like "My Girl" and "Hotel King."
Han So Hee
A dating scandal involving star Ryu Jun Yeol caused a lot of negative reactions toward Han So Hee. The situation got worse when the news site Dispatch denied that her relationship with Ryu started while he was still seeing actress Hyeri.
Even though people were angry at first, Han So Hee got back on track and is now getting big roles. She will be in Gyeongseong Creature Season 2 and the new heist drama Project Y, which will make her even more famous in the business.
