Actress Kim Ji Woo has revealed that her boyfriend's parents had disapproved of her after learning that she had lots of scandals in the past. Kim Ji Woo said, "I am frankly pretty apprehensive of appearing on variety because it would mean that I would have to talk about my scandals, so I felt uncomfortable. But I decided to appear on Strong Heart because it doesn't seem to be a big deal." "There has been a lot of scandals written about me in the past although most of them weren't real. For example, I got to know Park Gun Hyung through acting in a musical and we got along well. So why didn't the reporters write a scandal about us then?." "Not long ago, I met a guy through my friends. We had good feelings about each other and started dating. But shortly afterwards, we broke up after his parents disapproved of me because I was an artiste. But later, I realized that he left me because of my scandals. Apparently, a simple search of my name on the internet would turn up a string of news about my scandals. That was the main reason he decided to leave me." "What's most upsetting is that while topics about male artistes scandals will die down after a while, it tends to stick with female artistes for a lifetime. I hope that misconceptions towards female artistes can be lessened and everyone can be more understanding. Not every scandal should be treated as real fact." As for whether she has found a new boyfriend, Kim Ji Woo said frankly, "I am still deeply in love with that man," showing how much pain she has had to endure.
