South Korean actress Seo Hyun-jin, best known for her roles in The Beauty Inside and Dr Romantic is grabbing headlines for all the wrong reasons. According to South Korean media outlets, Seo Hyun-jin has fallen victim to a massive financial fraud.
Seo Hyun-jin faces financial loss after being scammed
As per reports, Seo Hyun-jin had filed a court auction in April this year after her landlord failed to return the jeonse deposit for a villa she had been renting in Gangnam, Seoul. The records reportedly showed Seo had signed a lease agreement for the property in April 2020 and submitted a deposit of $1.81 million.

In 2022, she later renewed with an increased deposit of $1.92 million. However, after the lease expired in 2024, the landlord didn't return the deposit, despite her rights being registered.
Given the downturn in Korea's real estate market, Seo might incur a significant loss.
