Im Subin's Agency CEO Kim Minji Targeted

The agency representative of Lim Su-bin, a cast member of the Netflix reality show 'Single's Inferno 5,' has publicly attacked Kim Min-ji, another cast member from the same program. Lee Seo-jun, the CEO of Lim Su-bin's agency, directly tagged Kim Min-ji's account on his Instagram story on the 20th, expressing his displeasure: "Hello, Min-ji. What is your intention in using this scene without any consultation or sharing with our company? I found out through fan reports and I'm quite taken aback." He added, "​Please refrain from mentioning our actress Lim Su-bin in the future."

The scene that caused controversy is part of a video recently uploaded by Kim Min-ji on her YouTube channel. In the video, Kim Min-ji, while choosing a bed for her apartment with Woo Sung-min, lay on a bed identical to the one used in the Paradise segment of 'Single's Inferno 5' and mentioned her Paradise date scene with Lim Su-bin. Recalling the situation at the time, Kim Min-ji said with a laugh, "Su-bin probably wanted to lie on the bed since she came to an expensive hotel, right? I should have left." A short clip of the Paradise date scene, where Lim Su-bin and Kim Min-ji lay side-by-side talking on the bed in 'Single's Inferno 5,' was also inserted into the video.

However, netizens' reactions were divided after the agency CEO's public attack. Some netizens pointed out that Lim Su-bin's side's reaction seemed overly sensitive, commenting, "It's a scene that aired on TV, so why are you telling her not to mention it?", "​This is the first time I've seen an agency CEO step in directly," and "​It seems like an overreaction." On the other hand, some expressed understanding for the agency's stance, stating, "​It's an issue that could make the person involved uncomfortable."

Lim Su-bin is currently gaining attention as a 'real-life couple' ('hyun-keo') with Park Hee-sun, with whom she became a final couple on 'Single's Inferno 5,' and they are continuing their relationship.
