Seo Min-jae (now legally renamed Seo Eun-woo), known for appearing on 'Heart Signal 3', directly addressed the misunderstanding that she was preparing to return to activities after giving birth.

On the 4th, Seo Min-jae posted on her personal account: "The YouTube video uploaded today is one I created and uploaded as private around four to five years ago. After forgetting about it for a long time, I accidentally switched it to public while organizing my channel, without considering that it might lead to misunderstanding."

She continued, "My daily life with the baby is much busier than I imagined. In fact, since right after becoming pregnant, I have been undergoing treatment for depression and panic disorder. Given this situation, I only go out when absolutely necessary, and my leisure time is currently limited to writing and organizing my thoughts. My parents apparently saw an article about me and scolded me, asking where I could be going while leaving the child behind."

Seo Min-jae added, "I was short-sighted. I sincerely apologize for causing confusion. If you read the content, please request a correction to the articles. Although I should have contacted each reporter personally, I currently lack the capacity to reach out one by one, so I had no choice but to post this on my story. I ask for your understanding."

Previously, Seo Min-jae recently uploaded a video titled "Studio Shooting" to her YouTube channel. She visited a photo studio for new profile photos and also mentioned her busy recent schedule.

This sparked widespread interest in whether she was resuming activities that had been effectively suspended due to privacy controversies and childbirth.

Meanwhile, Seo Min-jae first gained public attention by appearing on Channel A's 'Heart Signal 3' in 2020 and subsequently worked as an influencer. At the time, she became a topic of discussion for her background as the first female mechanic hired through Hyundai Motor's recent college graduate recruitment program. Later, in 2022, she was shocked when it was revealed that she had used drugs alongside singer Nam Taehyun. She was brought to trial on charges of methamphetamine use and sentenced to 10 months in prison with a two-year probation period. After the incident, she announced a fresh start by changing her name to Seo Eun-woo, but last year she also found herself at the center of controversy due to conflicts with her boyfriend.

Subsequently, Seo Min-jae revealed that she was pregnant before marriage and repeatedly exposed information regarding the child's biological father, leading to ongoing legal disputes and continued conflict. She welcomed her son into her arms in December of the same year.
