Jung Hye Sung's blunt advice to Baek Jin-hee: 'Please don't meet any crazy people'

Actress Jung Hye Sung delivered a blunt, unfiltered comment regarding her close friend Baek Jin-hee's dating history. Having observed her friend's relationships more closely than anyone, Jung expressed her frustration, saying, "I don't know how many times I told her to break up," and drew laughter by pleading, "I just hope she doesn't meet anyone crazy."

On the 18th, a video titled "Please look after our friendship. The reason Baek Jin-hee burst into tears while having brunch with actress Jung Hye Sung (feat. The one trying to expose vs. The one trying to protect)" was released on Jung's YouTube channel, Jiny Is Back.

The video captures long-time close friends Baek and Jung sharing private concerns and discussing romance while having brunch together.

While sharing her worries, Baek said, "I have a concern, but there is nothing I truly like." In response, Jung asked, "Do you necessarily have to have something you like? How do you relieve stress, unnie?"

Baek's answer was unexpectedly calm. She revealed, "Actually, I just end up crying at home."

Looking at Baek with sympathy, Jung remarked, "Unnie, you don't even lean on anyone, and whenever something happens, you always just stay alone." This implies that as a close friend, she has long watched Baek endure difficult times by herself.

Following this, Jung expressed her sincere wishes regarding Baek's love life.

"I think it's important who is by your side at that time," she said. "I hope a good person appears so that they won't leave you to cry alone, and will comfort you when something happens."

It was sincere advice, meaning she hoped Baek would meet someone who could stay by her side during difficult moments, rather than simply telling her to "just date."

However, the atmosphere soon shifted into an exposé.

Jung suddenly looked at Baek and said, "Unnie, you just picked the wrong people to date." She continued, "How many times did I tell you to break up? I've told you so many times my ears are practically calloused."

Jung's grievance was that Baek had not properly taken her friend's advice.

After saying, "Unnie, you don't listen to me well. I have no expectations," Jung used an even stronger expression.

"I just hope you don't meet anyone crazy."

It was a direct expression born from a heart that worries about her friend's romantic life. Baek eventually burst into laughter and replied, "I was scolded every day. I'll do better," making their long-standing friendship palpable.

What particularly caught attention in their conversation was that Jung views Baek's dating life not just as a series of romances, but as a matter of "meeting the right person." Because she knows Baek's tendency to suppress her emotions and cry alone when things are hard, she believes her friend needs a partner who can embrace such a personality.

While Jung cannot make choices for her friend, she showed an attitude as if she wants to at least prevent Baek from being hurt again by wrong relationships.

Baek began a public relationship with actor Yoon Hyun-min in 2016 and broke up in 2023 after dating for approximately 7 years.

For Baek, who has experienced a long public relationship and a breakup, the advice from her close friend Jung was a mix of playful exposure and realistic concern for her friend.

Jung's remark, "Even when I told her to break up, she wouldn't listen," contained both the frustration of watching her friend's relationships and the hope that Baek will now meet a better person and be happy.
