Seo Yea Ji's next project will possibly be a horror webtoon-based K-drama. 

According to several media outlets on May 8, Seo Yea Ji has been chosen to lead the upcoming K-drama titled Forest of Humans.  This will possibly be her grand comeback to the K-drama scene. 

Seo Yea Ji's agency, Sublime, responded to the casting reports. According to them, "Seo Yea Ji received the offer to star in Forest of Humans. She is currently in the process of reviewing it." 

After being embroiled in controversies that led to her hiatus from K-dramas and films since 2022, Seo Yea Ji is set to make her highly anticipated return to the industry in 2025. Last year's signing with Sublime marked the end of her hiatus and the start of her activities.

Seo Yea Ji recently appeared in the entertainment program Saturday Night Live Korea Season 16. She was the host for episode 2 of the show. She also boldly mentioned her controversy over gaslighting.

The actress last starred in the K-drama Eve with Park Byung Eun, Yoo Sun, Lee Sang Yeob, Jeon Gook Hwan, and Jung Hae Kyun

Seo Yea Ji is known for being part of the works It's Okay to Not Be Okay, Lawless Lawyer, Save Me, Night Watchman's Journal, Potato Star 2013QR3, Recalled, Stay with Me, and more. 

Forest of Humas will explore the happenings that follow the breakdown of a secure facility. This facility was built to contain psychopathic murderers for experimental studies, and its failure leads to widespread chaos. The K-drama will base its story from the webtoon of the same name by Hwang Joon Ho. 

According to reports, the K-drama is in discussion to be released through an OTT streaming platform. 

The specific role offered to Seo Yea Ji hasn't been revealed yet.
