SBS's hit drama "Brave New World" has recently unveiled unaired footage featuring Lee Se-hee, whose scenes were previously cut from the broadcast. The release of this deleted segment has intensified fans' calls for more screen time for the popular actress.
As per Naver, on June 4 SBS uploaded a special video titled "Unbroadcast Special: 'Nothing works because of Shin Seo-ri!' Lee Se-hee's Rage" on its official YouTube channel. The footage captures the character Yoon Ji-hyo (played by Lee Se-hee) expressing raw frustration and anger over being overshadowed by Shin Seo-ri (Im Ji-yeon), a fellow actress in the drama and agency mate.
Specifically, there's a scene where Yoon Ji-hyo complains about the agency CEO's obvious favoritism towards Shin Seo-ri. This emotional segment continues as Yoon Ji-hyo, still simmering with anger, encounters Baek Gwang-nam (Kim Min-seok) following a facial massage.

This revelation follows earlier reports about the removal of child actor scenes, including those of young Tae-hee, portrayed by Lee Seo-jung. Lee Seo-jung's mother publicly shared on social media that despite their excitement and preparation for the role, her daughter's scenes were cut due to production limits.
There has been criticism from viewers towards the edited parts, especially about Lee Se-hee's role as Yoon Ji-hyo. Her acting was appreciated by many, and fans even pleaded with the production company to give her more prominence in the story.
Episode number eight was aired on the 30th of May, and viewers reported that it had the highest viewership ratings up to that point, recording 10.4 percent nationwide ratings, according to Nielsen Korea. The episodes revolved around the budding romance between Im Ji-yeon and Heo Nam-jun's characters.
According to a previous report by The Chosun Daily on May 24, actress Lee Se-hee revealed on the SBS variety show "My Little Old Boy" that she once considered setting up comedian Heo Kyung-hwan with her second older sister after showing him her photo.
However, the blind date never happened, as her sister later met another man and got married. Lee jokingly expressed regret that the introduction did not work out.
