Actress Seo Ye Ji made a comeback on August 23rd at a special event celebrating the 30th anniversary of a makeup artist brand. The event was held at a department store in Jung-gu, Seoul. This was Seo Ye Ji's first public appearance in over two years after being caught up in personal controversies.

At the event, Seo Ye Ji dazzled in a white sheer top and a red mini skirt. Her bold red lipstick and cheerful demeanor drew attention as she posed for photos with hand hearts and cheek hearts. The press greeted her warmly, and she responded with a smile and a bow.

Seo Ye Ji had been under the spotlight in April 2021 for allegations related to her ex-boyfriend Kim Jung-hyun, including claims of gaslighting and school violence.

Although she appeared in the tvN drama Eve in mid-2022, its press conference and promotional activities were notably absent.

Since then, Seo Ye Ji has signed with Sublime, which represents stars like Song Kang Ho and Girls' Generation's Tiffany.

She has been engaging with fans through social media updates. Her appearance at this makeup event marks her official return to the public scene.

Speculation about her return to acting has been circulating, but Sublime's representative clarified, "There are no current plans for new projects." The representative added that Seo Ye Ji's participation in the event was solely as a guest of the cosmetics brand.

The event also featured SEVENTEEN’s S.Coups and Hoshi, and actors Lee Yoo Mi and Ki Eun Se.
