Actress Heo Yi-jae has revealed testimony why she retired from entertainment industry.
On the 10th, former Crayon Pop member Way uploaded a video on her YouTube channel 'WayLand' titled, "The reality of an actress that was slapped, dragged, and insulted by a shameless actor..."
In the video, Heo Yi-jae recalled the time she was active as an actress and stated, "A certain married actor was reason why I decided to suddenly retire. He and I were co-stars on a drama and got along well at first but one day he said, "Why don't you contact your oppa on your day's off?" I innocently replied, "we're meeting over 20 hours everyday to work on the drama so there's no time to contact each other." He didn't say anything but his expression changed and he replied, "Is she really pretending not to know or does she really not know?"
"After that, things changed. He'd swear and curse me on set daily and say, "Hey! You f***** b****."
Way was in shock and asked, "Is he still active?" and Yi-jae replied, "Yes. He's doing very well."
Yi-jae continued, "One day, while filming on set, it was a scene that didn't include me. He was annoyed because he couldn't get into character and express his emotions properly . He yelled "f***, I can't do this!!," and got up and left. The director couldn't say anything because this was his debut production so the staff weren't able to do anything."
"Later, he called up the CP (Chief Producer) and said he was stressed because of me. The director called me separately (in another room) and asked me, "why do you think he's swearing at you and bothering you whenever there's an emotional scene?" I told him "I don't know" and he said, "He's looking at you sexually but you're not responding so he tried knocking you down by force by terrorizing you." I said, "that can't be true. I don't believe it."
"I went and knocked at the male actor's waiting room and as soon as I went in, his voice was soft and calm. He said to me, "Yi Jae-ah, do you know what people say when watching our drama? They say you and I don't seem to be in a relationship." And I said, "really? I'm sorry, I'll try harder." Then suddenly he said, "Do you know what we need to do to become a real couple?" I replied, "I don't know." He said, "We need to sleep together." I was in shock and couldn't say anything. So he asked, "You don't want to do that?" I replied, "no."
"After that, he got even more angry and started yelling and throwing things and said, "Then do well, you b****. I can't focus on acting because of you, you f***ing b****" and kept cursing me. Because of that, I went into mental break down and no one came to my aid. After that I decided to retire."
Meanwhile, Heo Yi-jae became popular by appearing on movie 'Sunflower.' She has since appeared on a number of films and dramas including 'You Are a Gift', 'Single Dad in Love' and 'Goong S.'
- [+966, -43] Hul ~ what kind of man..ㅋㅋㅋㅋ? Apparently he also dated this "ten pro" [high end escort] but threw her away after he became successful so she committed suicide;; What person does such a thing...disgusting!
- [+941, -4] Actress Park Ha-sun joked in the past that she'd only work with "some" married male actors and unmarried actressㅎㅎ. Seeing as Heo Yi-jae suddenly retired because a certain male actor there's a lot more we don't know about...
- [+762, -2] This was a huge incident in the industry at the time but the actor and his wife went on varieties to clean up his image. He's clearly hiding behind someoneㅋㅋㅋㅋ.
- [+466, -2] It's ㅇㅇㅇ. He even came out on a couple program. He needs to be exiled from the industry altogether.
- [+406, -7] If only the comment section on celebrity articles was opened up again..
- [+359, -2] "You have to sleep with me...?" No..isn't this a crime? not just a mere sexual harassment? He basically pressured and threatened her if she didn't have sex with him. It's so scary to imagine this is a veteran actor in the industry..
- [+357, -4] This too...f*ck. There's even more on another post that was shared
- [+289, -2] Ah ~ f***. She was a senior, an ahjumma to him and he still wanted to do that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ.
