Choi Jun-hee, daughter of the late Choi Jin-sil, expressed gratitude after surpassing 200,000 followers on social media.

On the 6th, Choi Jun-hee shared proof of reaching 200,000 Instagram followers and stated, "We've now reached 200,000 (and slightly more now), and I could get here thanks entirely to all of you."

She continued, "Even during difficult times, everyone unconditionally stood by my side, supported me more than my family, and believed in me. That's why I was able to endure so much."

She added, "So I didn't want to just let this pass. Since 200,000 is such a huge number for me, I prepared this event to sincerely give something back, even in a small way, to mark what would have been my coming-of-age day." She announced giveaways including sushi omakase dining vouchers.

Born in 2003, Choi Jun-hee is the daughter of the late Choi Jin-sil and the late Cho Sung-min. She is currently active as an influencer. Choi has previously revealed that due to lupus, she reached a peak weight of 96 kilograms and later lost weight down to 41 kilograms.

Choi Jun-hee is set to marry her non-celebrity boyfriend, who is 11 years her senior, at a hotel in Seoul Gangnam on May 16. Regarding the wedding, she said, "I originally wanted to share this news slowly and in the most beautiful way, at my own pace," and announced her marriage by releasing her own wedding photos.

In connection with this, Choi Jun-hee's past relationship with her maternal grandmother has also been re-examined.

The YouTube channel "Entertainment Backstabber Lee Jin-ho" discussed family relations in relation to Choi Jun-hee's wedding announcement, stating, "Choi Jun-hee and Ms. Jung Ok-sook have had ongoing conflicts for a long time. They grew distant from childhood for various reasons, and in July 2023, Choi Jun-hee reported her maternal grandmother for unlawful entry while accompanied by her boyfriend."

The channel further stated, "The person who reportedly said 'Grandmother has no rights' at the time is believed to be her current boyfriend. Although Choi Jun-hee later claimed she reconnected with her 'Auntie Grandma' after the wedding announcement, that person is not a blood relative but someone who previously helped with household chores for the late Choi Jin-sil. Ms. Jung Ok-sook lost contact after the unlawful entry reporting incident, and it is reported that she learned of this wedding news through YouTube."

Choi Jun-hee's previously circulated long-form post regarding her past lawsuit against her maternal grandmother has also resurfaced.

At the time, Choi Jun-hee said, "Being subjected to continuous verbal abuse and physical violence from my grandmother while I was a minor remains an unhealable wound." She added, "Every time an argument arose, I lived with a guardian who was not trustworthy, surrounded by statements that my very existence was the problem, along with profanities too difficult to utter, and false testimonies."

She continued, "While I was severely suffering from lupus, my grandmother's verbal abuse and physical violence occurred. My body was in such pain and distress from skin rashes that I pushed her away and struggled, even pushing her back. Afterward, my grandmother called the police, and I was questioned at a young age, but adults did not listen to my words."

Choi Jun-hee remarked, "It's not my brother's fault, but living with parents who favor sons is an extremely exhausting experience." She stated, "In that kind of life, I lost many things, and now that I am an adult, I had to protect my own assets. I still don't know what family love is." She also said, "This is not about taking sides or asking anyone to listen to me; I only want to correct what is wrong." She continued, "My grandmother is now using her title as my mother to intimidate and harass people, and I can no longer tolerate it. Everyone around who knows my grandmother says, 'Could anyone really imagine that Choi Jin-sil's mother would do such a thing?'"

She further pointed out, "I haven't met my brother directly yet to hear his side, but his agency is asking, 'Without verifying the facts of what's happening in the family, are they just opening up all of (the maternal grandmother's) assets to the public? Is someone who went to the Family Court, applied for the case number, and checked everything themselves a fool?' She added, "Before being Choi Jin-sil's daughter, I am simply a person living in South Korea, and I will hold my grandmother legally accountable for everything she did when I was a minor." She concluded, "I am not afraid of people who criticize me; what gives me goosebumps and is truly terrifying is my grandmother's contradictory behavior."
