Actor James Seah responds to question about whether he's still married to Nicole Chang Min

Actor James Seah, three months after divorce rumors involving him and influencer Nicole Chang Min first surfaced, met the media at a press conference for his upcoming Mediacorp drama "Brighter Days." Questions about his personal life were expected, and Seah fielded inquiries about the speculation surrounding his marriage.

“

Ugh, I don't want. I stay away [from such trouble]. I think for me, as a man, all men want peace. Please, no drama.

Seah and Chang Min married in January 2022 after a six-year relationship. The actor had previously addressed the rumors in an online statement, labeling the allegations "baseless" and requesting privacy. Despite facing personal questions throughout the event, Seah maintained a polite, patient, and composed demeanor.

In "Brighter Days," a multi-generational series spanning over three decades, Seah portrays both father and son characters: Soh Seng, a famous 90s host, and Soh Da Ping, a troubled individual who resorts to questionable means. Seah was quick to distance himself from his character Da Ping, a chronic liar who stirs up trouble, stating, "I stay away [from such trouble]. I think for me, as a man, all men want peace. Please, no drama."

I can act lah, but I don't think I can lie.

Exploring themes of misunderstanding and the inability to let go of the past, Seah, a Christian, shared how his faith guides his approach to forgiveness. He acknowledged that "forgive and forget is not easy to do," but emphasized that forgiveness is a decision, while healing from internal wounds takes time. Seah finds healing through staying busy, exercise, and self-reflection, though work has been his primary focus recently.

“

I feel forgive and forget is not easy to do, but I guess forgiving is a decision you have to make first. Then the forget part, of course, there are wounds internally that need time to heal.

When directly asked if he was still married, Seah responded with a surprised "huh?" before smiling and deflecting the question, stating that he had already said what he wanted to say in his previous statement and would not comment further.

What I want to say has been said previously in my statement so I'm not going to comment any further.
