SEOUL, Sep. 13 (Yonhap) -- People are interested in whether actress Heo Yi-jae’s exposure of the abuses in the entertainment scene such as her episode of having been demanded a sexual relationship from a married actor will result in a legal dispute
A video of Heo sharing her experiences in her actress days was posted on YouTube channel “WayLand” of Crayon Pop’s Way on the 10th.
“The demand for a sexual relationship from a married actor who is still in act was the trigger for my retirement,” said Heo on the video.
She revealed that the actor frequently spoke abusive languages and asked for sexual relationship.
Another actor or actress habitually behaved abnormally such as taking a break grabbing Heo’s hair to ‘continue the character’s emotions’ and shooting a scene slapping Heo across the face wearing a ring with a large gemstone.
When the video was revealed, netizens started guessing for the figure from the actors who appeared in the same production with Heo. Based on the video, there has been criticisms against certain actors.
“I did not intend to target and attack a specific individual. I ask you to refrain from witch hunting,” said Heo through a video comment on “WayLand” on the 11th.
But the issue seems to have grown too big to sink. The actor who has been assumed as the inflictor is known to be considering an announcement as well.
Heo who attracted the watchers appearing in films “Sunflower,” “A Dirty Carnival” and drama “Prince Hours” in the early 2000s, stopped her career after marrying a businessman in 2011. She returned with film “Woojoo’s Christmas” in 2016 announcing her divorce and with the series “You Are a Gift” retired from the entertainment scene.
