Han Ye Seul Denies Being A Former Prostitute, But Discusses Why It Shouldn’t Be An Issue Even If She Was

“Whether or not someone has done a wrong in the past, that’s in the past.”

Actress Han Ye Seul is back with yet, another tell-all YouTube video. The actress has become the target of numerous rumors, made by the controversial YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute. One of the channel’s hosts Kim Yong Ho has been coming after Han Ye Seul with allegation after allegation, which ultimately led to the actress’s explosive video that addressed each rumor.

In light of her most recent rumor, which alleged that she made her start in the entertainment industry through prostitution, Han Ye Seul has decided to make another video for her fans and viewers.

Without any hesitation, the actress dove right into the video by addressing her alleged past as a former “room salon” employee. Room salons are bars with private rooms where hostesses are provided to entertain their clients. And while this does not create controversy, these room salons are oftentimes used as a front for prostitution, which is illegal in South Korea.

Due to the taboo nature of the subject, it made instant headlines when Kim Yong Ho accused Han Ye Seul of working as a prostitute at a Los Angeles room salon in an effort to kickstart her entertainment career. The actress, however, shut the rumors down in her video.

I already addressed this in my previous ‘O, X’ video. ‘Han Ye Seul used to work in a LA room salon, yes or no.’ I said ‘X’ to that rumor, but it seems that there are people who are still confused about it, as well as fans who are worried about it.

Han Ye Seul shared that while the rumors are not true, she would have no issue admitting to them if they were.

I wondered how to go about this topic for all of my fans.  If I really was a room salon employee in my past, I would have no problem admitting that to you all.

The actress then shared why she would have no issue revealing her past with her fans, even though she never was a prostitute.

I personally believe that my past does not dictate who I am today, whether it’s who I am as a person or my career. The reason? It’s because I have evolved so much as a person since then. I also believe that it’s because of my hard work and my skills that I came to where I am.

— Han Ye Seul

She continued by discussing why she believes someone’s past should not hinder their future, regardless of what they may or may not have done.

Whether or not someone has done a wrong in the past, that’s in the past. It’s been 20 years and I believe that I did my best to get to where I’m at in the present day. I have no regrets or shame.

Han Ye Seul reiterated once again in the video, however, that she does not have any relation to room salons or prostitution.

While I have never worked in a room salon in the past, it’s been hard because of the way the public has reacted to the rumors. I don’t understand why they have been aggressively pushing me to admit to them.

— Han Ye Seul

She proudly shared, once again that her almost 20 year long career was all in thanks to her skills and hard work.

My 20 year old career has been made because of my skills and hard work. That’s how I’ve been able to maintain it this far. It’s my career.
