The ongoing dispute between "Heart Signal 3" star Seo Min Jae and her boyfriend, Jung Rae Sung, has escalated into a legal battle following allegations of abuse and confinement, as well as accusations of stalking.

Seo Min Jae, also known as Seo Eun Woo, publicly announced her pregnancy and accused Jung Rae Sung of evading responsibility.

In response, Jung's legal team from Law Firm Roel issued a statement denying the allegations and providing their side of the story.

The law firm said Jung stayed in contact with Seo after learning of the pregnancy, discussed plans with her, and informed his parents about the situation.

The statement criticized Seo for posting Jung's personal information on Instagram and for actions that included persistent phone calls and honking at his residence.

"On or around April 30, 2025, she came to his residence and continuously honked her horn for about five minutes until he came outside," the statement said.

The legal representative also alleged that Seo Min Jae confined Jung at her residence against his will and physically assaulted him, prompting him to take legal action.

They further requested that Seo cease contacting Jung and warned that they are considering additional legal measures against defamatory comments made online about their client.

Seo Min Jae responded on social media, denying the accusations of stalking. "How is this stalking? I just wanted to talk, to discuss having the baby and raising it together," she wrote. "But now he's contacting me through a lawyer, saying he'll press criminal charges for stalking... Is he telling me to go die?"

The incident has generated headlines and galvanised public opinion, with many on Twitter waiting for further updates on the progress of the case.
