Ji Soo hints at making a comeback in the entertainment industry four years post-school bullying scandal

Actor Ji Soo is gearing up for a comeback after a four-year hiatus due to school bullying controversies. On August 24 KST, he hinted at his return in a video titled “Movie Vlog Documentary EP. 01 The End of Tunnel” on his YouTube channel, ‘Ji Soo Road.’
In the video, Ji Soo reflects on the past few years, mentioning, “A lot has happened over the past four years. I completed my military service and resolved misunderstandings with the friends who spoke out about the issues involving me.Now, I’m slowly preparing to start again.”
He also takes a nostalgic trip to Seoul’s Daehangno district, where he reminisces about his early acting days and his deep connection to theater. Ji Soo reveals that he’s been studying English with hopes of diving into international projects.
Ji Soo’s troubles began in March 2021 when school bullying allegations surfaced. He admitted to some claims, apologized publicly, and stepped down from his drama. He later ended his contract with KeyEast, filed a defamation suit (which did not succeed), and served in the military as a social service worker, being discharged last October. Now, he’s ready to return to the spotlight.
