Former Jewelry members Cho Min-ah and Seo Inyoung have resolved their long-standing misunderstandings and shared their heartfelt feelings in an emotional reconciliation.
On July 1, a video titled "The Reason Seo Inyoung Didn't Invite Only Cho Min-ah to Her Wedding" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Seo Inyoung's Reformation.' In the video, the two discussed everything from the past "Yanggaeng (red bean jelly) controversy" to the misunderstandings surrounding the wedding.
When Seo Inyoung asked Cho Min-ah if she had "anti-fans," Cho coolly admitted, "Because of the yanggaeng." In the past, after obtaining a baking certification, Cho Min-ah operated a cafe called 'Space Goddess Bakery,' but faced criticism for setting prices too high. She particularly sparked controversy over the price of her yanggaeng, which was significantly more expensive than market rates, and the situation escalated after she defended herself by saying, "There is nothing wrong with it."
When Seo Inyoung joked, "Our lives are divided—mine by divorce and yours by the yanggaeng controversy," Cho replied, "I apologize. I didn't know how the world worked. It was my first time in society. I thought it was enough to make things with good ingredients and sincerity." When Seo Inyoung retorted, "That's too long. Just say, 'I was wrong to sell the yanggaeng,'" Cho laughed and apologized, saying, "The bread was expensive. I'm sorry," bringing laughter to the set.
The two then opened up for the first time about their true feelings from the time they drifted apart due to the wedding. Seo Inyoung married in 2023 but went through a divorce about a year later. While all other Jewelry members attended the wedding, Cho Min-ah's absence left many curious.
Explaining the reason, Seo Inyoung recalled, "People think I married someone who wasn't right for me, but back then, Min-ah tried to stop me first. She said, 'Isn't this too rushed, Inyoung?' At the time, I was mentally exhausted. My mother had passed away, and I was in a daze. I just wanted to hold onto something and live happily, but when Min-ah expressed her disappointment, I ended up saying, 'Why are you always thinking about being disappointed?' I didn't even have the capacity to explain my situation."
Cho Min-ah explained that her absence from the wedding wasn't due to "disappointment," but rather curiosity about the reason. She shared her honest feelings, saying, "Reporters contacted me, and I received so many DMs. They asked, 'Why were you the only one who didn't go to the wedding?' I honestly didn't even know where it was being held, so I couldn't go. What I wanted to hear wasn't an apology, but the reason. I was so curious, 'Why didn't she tell me?' She was a friend I loved so much."
After hearing Seo Inyoung's explanation, Cho Min-ah reflected on her own mindset, saying, "After Inyoung told me the reason, I realized, 'I was immature.' Inyoung must have just wanted to receive congratulations, but I approached it too realistically. I think I was very narrow-minded." Seo Inyoung also wiped away tears as she sincerely expressed, "Looking back now, she wasn't a friend who wanted much. If I had just been a little more understanding, it would have been fine. Why did I do that? I'm sorry."
Seo Inyoung, who currently runs the YouTube channel 'Seo Inyoung's Reformation,' is enjoying a second heyday with her honest wit and human charm. In particular, she recently received a great response from fans after reuniting with Jewelry members to perform their hit songs.
