Seo In-young on 'Viseojin': "Turning Over a New Leaf Is a Growth Process for a Better Me" With Ji Chang-wook Up Next for Follow-up Service

The Viseojin cast stepped up as managers for Seo In-young.

On the September 11 broadcast of SBS's "What Can I Do For You - Viseojin" (hereinafter "Viseojin"), the team successfully provided assistance to their "my star," Seo In-young.

After safely wrapping up her underwear pictorial shoot that day, Seo In-young enjoyed a pork belly dinner with the Viseojin members. She shared that she has been dating her current boyfriend for a year and six months, saying, "I really want to live well this time."

In response, Lee Seo-jin asked if they had already set a date. Seo In-young replied, "We've set it. We're thinking of doing it around the end of the year." Lee Seo-jin and Kim Kwang-gyu then brought laughter by commenting, "Well, you never know until you get there. People tend to clash a lot while preparing wedding gifts. You can't be sure until you actually walk down the aisle."

Seo In-young then mentioned that she wanted to get some dating advice from Lee Seo-jin, saying, "Women secretly like Lee Seo-jin. They say if you get caught in his web, you're dead and will shed tears of blood, and that you have to be careful not to get dumped. I used to wonder if that was really true about Lee Seo-jin. But a certain person drank alone with me and cried because of 'oppa.' When I asked her why she was crying like that, she said it was because of oppa." This brought laughter to the room.

Seo In-young then asked Lee Seo-jin, "Does oppa treat women that well?" to which Lee Seo-jin joked, "That's the problem."

Lee Seo-jin continued honestly, "But it's only for three months. After three months pass, I want to enjoy my own life again." Seo In-young asked, "Why does it fade so quickly?" and Lee Seo-jin retorted, "Does love last that long?"

Hearing this, Seo In-young made everyone laugh by saying, "It should last, though I'm one to talk after having been through a divorce." Lee Seo-jin showed his confident side, responding, "I want it to last, but since it doesn't, what can I do? It's not my fault. Love is the crime."

Seo In-young described her style as walking away immediately if the other person says they dislike something, adding, "And then I go behind the scenes and cry. But I have no regrets because I've tried everything I could."

Lee Seo-jin then offered realistic advice, recommending long-term dating to Seo In-young. In response, Seo In-young opened up, saying, "It's been four years since my mother passed away, and back then, I thought to myself how nice it would be to have a husband. My two daughters handled everything at the time. During my mother's sudden funeral due to a myocardial infarction, I wondered what it would have been like if I had been married, thinking how reassuring it would have been, and that led to my marriage."

Lee Seo-jin advised that one shouldn't marry with that kind of mindset, noting that since this would be her second time, she needs to be even more cautious. When Seo In-young worried about what to do if conflicts arose with her partner, Lee Seo-jin cracked everyone up by suggesting, "Overcome it through joint prayers, or something."

Seo In-young also revealed why she decided to film a content piece about turning over a new leaf. She drew attention by saying, "I thought it might be a growth process for a better me by acknowledging my shortcomings."

She also confessed to her past materialism, sharing that her father had once tried to put her in a hospital because of her excessive shopping habits. She added that she no longer has any material desires.

Seo In-young stated, "Turning over a new leaf is shaping who I am. It would be best to live by cutting off consumption." She added, "I couldn't shake off my materialism before, but I sold everything. I had no choice but to cut it off because I couldn't make a living unless I sold those things. My life hit absolute rock bottom to that extent. That's why I'm happy with my comfortable life now."

Commenting on their "my star," Lee Seo-jin remarked, "I think you don't even need to turn over a new leaf. You put in a lot of effort, you have thoughts, and you never cross the line."

Meanwhile, the end of the broadcast previewed Ji Chang-wook receiving the Viseojin team's very first follow-up service (A/S), raising anticipation for the next episode.
