Comedian Cho Hye-ryeon revealed that she had cut off contact with her senior colleague Lee Seong-mi for two and a half years due to a conflict over religious matters.
On the 29th of last month, a video was released on the YouTube channel 'I Don't Go to Church, But I'm Curious' in which Cho Hye-ryeon appeared to share her views on religion and discuss past conflicts with Lee Seong-mi.
On that day, Cho Hye-ryeon confessed, "I really deleted my senior sister Lee's phone number and cut off all contact."
Cho Hye-ryeon recalled the time, saying, "My sister told me she was praying for me and asked me to attend a joint worship service for celebrities. I hated that so much. Whenever we met, her gaze was always directed elsewhere. It was incredibly burdensome."
In particular, she mentioned an anecdote about having a meal with Lee Seong-mi during a difficult period following her divorce.

Cho Hye-ryeon said, "When I got divorced, I was so distressed that I told my sister, 'I'm having a really hard time.' But after eating, she started crying and said, 'Hye-ryeon, there's a joint worship service for celebrities today.'"
She continued, expressing her discomfort: "I really disliked the intention behind my sister trying to bring me to that place."
Ultimately, Cho Hye-ryeon revealed that she attended a worship service once at Lee Seong-mi's urging. However, she became angry when the religion she believed in was treated as a heretical sect during that service.
Cho Hye-ryeon shared, "They were doing a special feature on heretical sects at the time. The religion I believe in was mentioned, and I got so mad that I ran out. And then I didn't contact her for two and a half years. I deleted her number."
Subsequently, Cho Hye-ryeon revealed that she began attending church for the first time at the age of 45. She said, "I actually studied Buddhism and watched Dr. David Hawkins' 'Consciousness Revolution' dozens of times," recalling how she had sought truth after her divorce.
Meanwhile, Cho Hye-ryeon and Lee Seong-mi, who had cut off contact for a period over religious issues, are known to have since restored their relationship.
