Why is no one here talking about seohyun and kim jung hyun?

    basically, he was super rude to seohyun during the fliming of drama and super rude to her during the press conference as well like he would be nice to his seniors but would be super rude to her like wipe his hands with wet tissue if she touched him, things like that. But later on it was revealed that his ex gf of that time seo yeji asked him to be stand offish with all the female staff and not do any romance touchy scenes with the actresses. so he gave everyone around him a hard time, by making the writers change the script if it inclu romantic scenes, gave a hard time to seohyun as well.... and its all getting revealed now

    Seohyun and Kim Jung Hyun worked on the drama Time back in 2018. KJH was also suffering from a severe eating and sleeping disorder during the time of filming, which caused him to lose 7kg in just 2 weeks as his body just kept rejecting food. In a press conference for Time, KJH has been criticized for refusing to link hands with Seohyun for a photo. His health issues were cited as the reason for his "rude" behavior; looking at the press con photos it looks like he was about to pass out. It was also because of health issues that he had to leave Time in the middle of filming and the script had to be rewritten to adjust for that. But because his health problems didn't excuse him, KJH did a public apology to Seohyun and the staff for how they've been inconvenienced by his actions.


    But fast forward to 2021, there's been news that KJH treated Seohyun that way not because of his mental illness but because he was dating Seo Ye Ji, who allegedly forbade him from having physical contact with his female costar (Seohyun) at that time. Hence the article about the alleged messages between them.


    So now, in 2021, Kim Jung Hyun is going through a contract dispute with his agency O& Entertainment. He's been reported for trying to sign with another agency before the termination of their contract. KJH's contract was originally set to expire in May, so he's been in talks to join a new agency, which is Seo Ji Hye's agency Culture Depot (hence they've been spotted together with a dating rumor which they both claimed to be false - as they met to discuss the contract with Culture Depot). But O&E is claiming that the contract expires 11 months from now (they didn't want to let him go), counting the period that KJH was on hiatus because of his mental health issues back in 2018.


    At the same time - people are bashing Kim Jung Hyun for how he treated Seohyun back in 2018, and praising Seohyun for how gracefully she handled it. While some believe that KJH's health issues were no excuse for his behavior, he already publicly apologized and worked so hard to get back on his feet - as seen through CLOY and Mr. Queen. Because he's started to become fairly popular, it looks like O&E just doesn't want to let him go. So people are now speculating that all the gossip about KJH has been fabricated by his agency itself.


    Whew that a mouthful. Hope this enlightens you!

    KJH apologized, not directly but via his agency, but afterwards he still kept treating Seohyun rudely.


    He claimed he was suffering from a severe eating and sleeping disorder as reason for his rude behavior, but it was also observed that in those same times he was constantly actively busy on his phone. His abrupt departure in the midst of a running show season looks more like an extension of his rude behavior.


    Knowing now that his back-then girlfriend was haunting him, ordering him to keep away from his female co-lead Seohyun and any other women on site and even provide regular video proof, does explain a lot.

    Such a situation can cause lots of ongoing stress, so it's very likely that his 'eating and sleeping disorder' claims originate from this.

    It's also not that surprising that he isn't with his girlfriend from back then anymore, if she was that controlling and possessive that he couldn't even touch or be touched by women or act normally with them.


    However, even while it explains KJH's motivations, that doesn't negate the fact that he was purposefully rude and harsh towards Seohyun without explanation, basically making her life a hell in the meantime, and that he was obstructing and sabotaging the show in order to appease his possessive girlfriend from that time.


    I also saw some chat dialogues from the two? That could've only come from either his girlfriend or KJH himself.
