Seo Ye Ji Leaves Agency Gold Medalist After Four Years and Earlier in the Month the Court Awarded Refund of Half of the Endorsement Fees From One Brand CF
It’s surreal to look back on 2020 not just as the year of COVID-19 spreading which sucks for most everyone but also a good year for some people. That year K-actress Seo Ye Ji hit the pinnacle of her career with It’s Not to Not Be Okay which airing on Netflix during the pandemic lockdown and having a fascinating female lead character with mental issues and a cool wardrobe plus a creepy secret made for an addicting watch. Male lead Kim Soo Hyun got the shot end of the stick delivering a phenomenal (as usual) performance but playing the “normal” character doesn’t make for a lot of pizzazz. So Seo Ye Ji broke out and was on her way to superstardom until the following year when she was raked over the media and netizens for being a crazy, controlling, gaslighting girlfriend to Kim Jung Hyun and a reason for his meltdown during the filming of Time. Back then it wasn’t clear if this so-called scandal would end her career but she did get dropped from projects and lost endorsements. In the last two years she did one cable drama Eve and now the lawsuit one brand lodged against her and agency Gold Medalist has come to the conclusion with the court ordering the agency to refund half of the pre-paid endorsement fee for breach of contract. That seems fair and moreover it’s clear her career will never recover to the degree it was at before the scandal, there are always new fresh talented actresses ready to pounce and get their big break (this year it’s Ahn Eun Jin, for example). And it feels like the end of an era with news that she’s left Gold Medalist after a four year stint.
