Actress Choi Yeo Jin has clarified misconceptions about her fiancé in response to ongoing rumors, in anticipation of their upcoming wedding.
During an episode of MBC's 'Radio Star' titled "Choi Yeo Jin Reveals the Truth Behind the Endless Chain of Rumors?!" aired on May 28, Choi debunked various baseless claims about her partner circulating online. These included suggestions that he is the child of a prominent corporate magnate and the head of a religious organization.
Choi addressed the rumor linking him to the chairman of H Group, attributing it to a visual resemblance. She pointed out the speculation, stating, "He bears a slight resemblance to the chairman." Host Kim Gu Ra chimed in, noting, "I am acquainted with someone from that lineage. Although your fiancé may resemble the chairman, the actual heirs possess different traits as their mother is exceptionally beautiful." In a lighthearted manner, Choi countered, "Are you implying that my spouse is not handsome? Hence, why there are assumptions of his legitimacy."
Furthermore, she refuted the serious claim of her partner being associated with a religious cult. She discredited this rumor entirely, asserting, "There is no truth to this allegation. Misconceptions arose due to the existence of prosperous religious foundations in Gapyeong and the name of my fiancé's business being 'XX Eden.'"
Choi dismantled additional rumors targeting her relationship, such as insinuations of polygamy and symbolic references. Despite efforts to clarify misunderstandings, including his ex-wife's public appearance, unfounded assumptions persisted regarding his purported ties to polygamous organizations, even extending to misinterpretations of everyday objects like a birthday crown.
Responding to inquiries about her fiancé's religious beliefs, Choi confirmed that he is a Christian, elucidating that this influenced the naming of his business 'XX Eden.' She shared insights into their personal life, mentioning the names of their dogs and his involvement in the local church.
While initially finding the rumors comical, Choi admitted to being taken aback by their escalation and propagation. Despite the challenges posed by these falsehoods, she remains committed to her impending marriage to Kim Jae Wook, her fiancé and a divorced entrepreneur who is seven years her senior.
