The actress, who is a survivor of breast cancer, revealed that her boyfriend had supported her during her bout with the illness.

Let me introduce you to my boyfriend. Many people have supported and congratulated me. Thank you so much for your support. I wasn’t trying to hide my boyfriend at my age. I wonder to myself if I should have dated publicly from the start. Despite reports, I never said that we were dating to get married, and I had never given an interview, but reports were published prematurely.

He was a great source of strength while I was struggling with breast cancer. We became closer during the times we went to the hospital together. (Since then) I opened tBD Designs, and I am working hard. We took some goofy pictures at our construction site in Gunja-dong.

Lastly, Seo Jeong Hee doted on her boyfriend, revealing that he had been a family friend for over 30 years.

He is also a believer (in Christ) like me. He has served the same church as my family for 30 years in Boston and is a close friend that I have had for many years. We aren’t getting married yet. We remain close friends and look after each other with loving hearts and mutual respect for one another. Please look fondly over us.
