Former ALICE (ELRIS) member Kim So Hee has addressed shocking rumors surrounding her personal life, making it clear that she refuses to be affected by baseless speculation.

On May 31, Kim took to social media to express her thoughts. "There seem to be so many people spreading ridiculous rumors. But I’m not going to care," she wrote. "I’m doing well and living happily. I’ll try to be more active on Instagram too."

The issue came to light when Ji Yoonmi, a former member of 'Allzzang Generation,' shared a question she received from a fan. The fan asked, "Is it true that ALICE’s Kim So Hee also met her husband at an hostess bar?" 

So Hee firmly denied the accusation, responding, "What is that supposed to be? I actually met my husband at a birthday party for an older sister I had filmed with." She continued, "I heard that in order to take legal action, we need personal details of the people spreading these lies. If anyone knows anything, please come forward."

Ji Yoonmi also responded strongly to the rumor, saying, "Is this some new form of insanity? It’s so easy to ruin a woman’s reputation these days by calling her a bar girl. If anyone is going to claim that, please provide proof. What establishment did I supposedly work at? Are there photos? Did anyone actually see me there?" She added, "If there are any real people who supposedly worked with me, please step forward. Our lawyer is going to have their hands full. As for me, I will never forgive this kind of defamation."

In April 2024, Kim So Hee announced her marriage to a businessman 15 years her senior and her retirement from the entertainment industry. Through a handwritten letter, she shared, "I want to start a new chapter in life as Kim So Hee, not as ALICE’s So Hee. I will live happily so that those who loved me won’t worry. Thank you so much for all the love you gave me during my time in the entertainment industry. I was truly happy. I’ll never forget it and will live my life with gratitude."
