For those missing Seo Ye Ji in leading roles — especially after her standout performances in It’s Okay to Not Be Okay and Eve — there’s good news on the horizon. The actress is currently in talks to return to the small screen in a dark and intriguing new project: the suspense drama Forest of Humans, based on a webtoon.
Seo Ye Ji May Return with an Adult Horror Drama
On May 8, a Korean media outlet reported that Seo Ye Ji is being considered for the lead role in Forest of Humans, a new horror-thriller drama. Shortly after, her agency, SUBLIME, confirmed that she received the offer and is currently reviewing the role.
This potential comeback is highly anticipated by fans, as Seo Ye Ji has been away from dramas since Eve, which aired in 2022. Since then, she made a brief appearance as a host on SNL Korea Season 7 in April, reigniting public excitement for her return to acting.
