Influencer and former idol trainee Han Seo-hee (31) shocked the public by confessing that her relationship with a foreign boyfriend was a lie.

Recently, Han Seo-hee posted a photo with a foreign man on her Instagram, stating, "Thank you for your interest in my man. But please don't create strange rumors. He is a normal guy. Please look at him kindly," thereby acknowledging she was in a relationship.

However, just days later, on the 3rd, Han Seo-hee posted a video with the caption "About the dating rumors." In the video, she acted alongside the man she had identified as her "boyfriend" for an advertisement for a fortune-telling website. He also promoted the site with the slogan, "If you're curious about your future, use this site," and included the company's social media accounts in hashtags.

Ultimately, Han Seo-hee declared, "I don't have a boyfriend; you are all my boyfriends." It turned out she had pretended to be in a relationship with a man she met while filming an advertisement.

As criticism mounted, Han Seo-hee responded, "Honestly, I thought women would support me more, but the backlash surprised me. This was content for women. But that's okay. Life doesn't always go as planned, and that's what makes it interesting. I'll just enjoy it from now on."

Additionally, in response to a comment saying, "If you hadn't been caught renting a boyfriend, you would have kept pretending," she clarified, "You say I didn't pay him? I was so grateful he agreed willingly that I even treated him to a meal. Please stop it."

Han Seo-hee first gained recognition by appearing on MBC's 2012 audition program "The Great Birth 3." However, in 2016, she was sentenced to three years in prison with a four-year probation period for smoking marijuana alongside T.O.P from the group BIGBANG. Later, during her probation period in 2021, she was caught using methamphetamine and received a one-year-and-six-month prison sentence. In 2022, she was additionally sentenced to six years in prison for a third drug-related offense, served her time, and was released in November 2023.
