Seo Yea-ji, previously embroiled in controversies over “gaslighting ex-boyfriend Kim Jung-hyun” and “fake Spanish university degree,” is now grabbing attention for her bold, meme-filled fan interactions.

Actress Seo Yea-ji, once at the center of controversy over alleged gaslighting of ex-boyfriend Kim Jung-hyun and suspicions surrounding her claimed education at a prestigious Spanish university, is now going viral for her unexpectedly candid communication with fans.

On April 11, Seo opened an account on the global fan communication platform Dear U Bubble.

Since then, screenshots of her messages have circulated online, showing how quickly she’s adapted to internet culture—throwing around popular memes and slang with ease.

According to a chat capture shared in an online community on April 15, when a fan told her, “Ignore the mean comments,” Seo responded playfully with “Aljjyeong~” (a cute, meme-ish way of saying “Got it!” in Korean internet lingo).

She followed it up with a humorous meme spelling out “Ah-oh-ssi-bal” (a phrase that sounds like a Korean curse word), explaining it as meaning, “It’s time to peacefully handle even the feelings of hate”—breaking it down character by character with poetic flair. She added, “If someone says mean things, I’ll just send them this.”

Seo even revealed, “I have lots of those memes. When I’m angry, I read them alone.”

She also shared another meme-like phrase interpreted as “Bury yourself in comfort and reach cheerfulness,” breaking down the characters into meme-speak once again.

When fans reacted to some of the words sounding like curse words, Seo joked, “That’s not a swear word!”

Context: Kim Jung-hyun & Fabricated Credentials

Seo Yea-ji has faced heavy backlash in the past, particularly for alleged emotional manipulation of actor Kim Jung-hyun during their relationship and accusations of fabricating academic credentials related to Complutense University of Madrid. Her sudden, unfiltered reappearance in the public eye—especially through such cheeky and internet-savvy messaging—has sparked a wave of reactions from fans and the general public alike.

SNL Korea Comeback

Seo Yea-ji made a surprise return to the spotlight through a guest appearance on SNL Korea Season 7, adding fuel to her ongoing viral resurgence. In the highlight reel released by Coupang Play, Seo took on a variety of comedic roles that showcased both self-awareness and unexpected charm.

One standout sketch, “Eve’s Beauty Salon”, reimagined a typical salon visit with a dark twist, featuring Seo as a dangerously obsessive stylist who brings her signature intense gaze and dramatic delivery to the comedy setting. Another segment, “SeoYeGPT,” parodied AI chatbots, with Seo playing an eerily realistic, emotionally unstable version of ChatGPT—answering questions with cryptic, poetic, and sometimes explosive reactions that had the audience in stitches.

In “Too Shy Yeji-chan,” she leaned into her soft-spoken image, portraying a character that stammers through even the simplest interactions. Other sketches included bizarre workplace antics in a McDonald's Trump Show, a chaotic package return center, and a satirical take on office culture in “The Branch Manager Is Coming.”

Fans and viewers praised Seo for not taking herself too seriously and for leaning into the memes and public perception that have long surrounded her. The appearance marked her first major comedy gig since controversies derailed her career—and the online response suggests many are ready to welcome her back.

With this SNL Korea episode and her bold fan communication via Bubble, Seo Yea-ji seems to be rewriting her own narrative—one unpredictable message at a time.
