South Korean actress Oh Se-young has finally spoken out directly about the attitude controversy that erupted during the press conference for MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama 'Judge Lee Han-young'. Reflecting on the tense moments where she stumbled over her words, she took the chance to express her deep gratitude for the support and understanding she’s received from fans and colleagues alike.
On January 7, Oh Se-young shared a heartfelt message via her personal social media account, looking back on her career journey with newfound perspective. "Taking time to reflect on the path I’ve walked has helped me find faith in those past experiences," she wrote. "Moving forward, I promise to keep improving, growing little by little each day." Her message didn’t stop there—she went on to shower love on the people who stood by her, adding, "I sincerely thank senior actress Park Gyeong-rim, the director, all my senior co-stars, and every crew member who warmly wrapped their arms around my imperfect self." She also made sure to highlight her love for the upcoming drama, emphasizing how much the project means to her.
Just days prior, on January 2, Oh Se-young attended the 'Judge Lee Han-young' press conference held at MBC in Sangam-dong. During the event, she was captured looking extremely nervous, avoiding eye contact and stuttering through her responses to questions. This unexpected display quickly sparked online discussions about her attitude, leaving many fans and netizens divided. Right then and there, she offered an immediate apology, saying, "I’m so sorry. I prepared so much for today and wanted to speak with confidence, but I just couldn’t get my words out." Thankfully, her fellow cast members—including Won Jin-ah and Baek Jin-hee—stepped in to comfort and encourage her in that awkward moment.
For those who might not be familiar, 'Judge Lee Han-young' is a thrilling comeback drama centered on a judge who was once trapped in the shadows of a large law firm. After traveling back 10 years in time, the titular character Lee Han-young (played by Ji Sung) sets out to bring down powerful villains and uphold true justice. Oh Se-young takes on the role of Yoo Se-hee, the youngest daughter of a prestigious law firm and Lee Han-young’s wife. This character marks a big change for the actress, as she gets to portray someone with a glamorous exterior and a sharp, prickly personality.
In her post-controversy message, Oh Se-young didn’t shy away from acknowledging her shaky moment at the press conference, but instead framed it as a learning experience. By focusing on her desire to grow both as a person and an actress, she’s sending a clear message that she’s ready to win over audiences with her genuine passion for her craft. Fans and viewers can look forward to seeing her put that dedication on screen when 'Judge Lee Han-young' airs on MBC’s Friday-Saturday slot.
