Daelim Group heiress Lee Joo-young deleted a video on the 1st showing her close relationship with actor Lee Seo-jin following mixed online reactions regarding their age difference. The video, which captured Lee Seo-jin guiding Lee Joo-young at a luxury brand B event, was removed despite her previously sharing photos of the encounter.

Lee Joo-young, the fourth-generation heiress of Daelim Group, is drawing attention after abruptly deleting social media posts that showcased her close relationship with actor Lee Seo-jin. While a video capturing the friendly atmosphere between the two initially became a hot topic, the content was removed following various reactions online.

On the 30th of last month, Lee Joo-young shared updates on her social media regarding her attendance at an event for the overseas luxury brand B. The photos shared at the time caught eyes as they included Lee Seo-jin. Accompanying the photos, Lee Joo-young naturally revealed their close relationship by writing, "The first event I overlapped with my uncle."

In particular, a video posted by Lee Joo-young fueled further interest by capturing the intimate atmosphere between the two. In the video, titled "1 minute before becoming lost," Lee Seo-jin is seen guiding Lee Joo-young as she looks around the event venue. As Lee Joo-young appeared hesitant, Lee Seo-jin was captured lightly touching her waist or holding her elbow to lead the way. The natural physical contact and the seemingly familiar atmosphere between the two drew intense interest from netizens.

Reactions were mixed. While some expressed envy of her friendship with the famous actor, others expressed discomfort, citing the age difference between the two. As the video gained traction online, Lee Joo-young's posts became a central focus of discussion.

However, on the 1st, Lee Joo-young deleted the video of her meeting with Lee Seo-jin, which had been posted with the caption "After school." While she did not remove all the event photos previously shared, it is reported that only the controversial video was taken down. She has not separately disclosed the reason for deleting the post, causing continued interest online.

Lee Joo-young has frequently demonstrated her intimacy with Lee Seo-jin, even calling him "Seo-jin Uncle." This past May, she personally visited the venue for Lee Seo-jin's first stage play, "Uncle Vanya." While their appearance together at this recent event once again highlighted their friendship, attention is now shifting to the background of the video's deletion.

In addition to Lee Seo-jin, Lee Joo-young has revealed her friendships with various celebrities on social media, including BIGBANG members G-DRAGON and DAESUNG, as well as IVE's Jang Won-young. Her daily life, which involves naturally socializing with famous stars, serves as a factor that draws public interest whenever she posts.

Lee Joo-young is the granddaughter of Daelim Group Honorary Chairman Lee Joon-yong and the daughter of Lee Hae-chang, the former Executive Vice President of Corporate Strategy at Daelim Corporation. Born in 2000, she is studying law at Georgetown University Law Center in the United States and is currently studying abroad at Yonsei University through an exchange student program. Her social media activities consistently draw public attention due to the intersection of her chaebol background and her interactions with famous celebrities.
