Actress Seo Ye Ji made her first public appearance in two years, showing off her undeniable charm despite past controversies.

On August 23rd, Seo Ye Ji attended a makeup brand's pop-up store event at Lotte Department Store in Seoul. This was her first official event since a gaslighting controversy put her in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

Seo Ye Ji wowed everyone in a stylish white blouse with a deep V-neckline and a bold red mini skirt, complete with a rose decoration.

Her look was finished with striking red lipstick. She posed for the cameras, waving and even giving a cute heart gesture.

The red skirt Seo Ye Ji wore is from brand B and comes with a hefty price tag of about 2.635 million won. She also accessorized with earrings and rings from the same brand, with the layered rings priced at 8.95 million won and 1.8 million won.

In April 2021, Seo Ye Ji faced a serious gaslighting scandal where she was accused of controlling actor Kim Jung Hyun’s behavior during their relationship.

The controversy didn't stop there—allegations of staff mistreatment, school bullying, lying about her education, and more followed, causing her to step back from the entertainment industry.

Though she attempted a comeback in 2022 with the tvN drama "Eve," the show didn’t perform well. However, Seo Ye Ji recently signed an exclusive contract with Sublime in June, signaling that she’s ready to return to the industry.
