The drama BloodFree premiered its first two episodes on April 10, 2024. The character Yun Ja Yu, portrayed by Han Hyo Joo, has faced criticism and threats due to her business dealings, drawing the ire of several external parties aiming to undermine the CEO of BF company.
Former president Lee Mun Gyu (played by Jeon Kuk Hwan) is one such individual. Yun Ja Yu is under suspicion for allegedly orchestrating a bombing incident that left the former president severely injured. Here are three key reasons why she is suspected of being the mastermind behind the bombing in BloodFree.
Warning: Spoilers ahead.
1.Presence at the Scene of the Bombing

Suspicions arose when secret information about the president’s visit to a military base was leaked, leading to an explosion just 30 minutes after their arrival. With only those accompanying the president privy to the visit, suspicion fell on the four CEOs, including Yun Ja Yu.
2. Opposition to Yun Ja Yu’s Request

She had sought to overturn a law requiring cultured meat to be labeled as genetically modified food. Believing that her ambition to remove this obstacle to BF’s progress clashed with his stance, Lee Mun Gyu grew convinced that Yun Ja Yu sought to eliminate him through the bombing incident.
3. Increased Success of BF Post-Bombing

In fact, BF experienced heightened success following the incident. Conversely, the bombing forced Lee Mun Gyu to relinquish his presidency, ultimately benefiting Yun Ja Yu as the new president was more amenable to her requests regarding BF’s legal issues surrounding cultured meat.
These three factors bolstered Lee Mun Gyu’s confidence in arresting Yun Ja Yu, although he recognized the need for further investigation, enlisting the help of Woo Chae Woon. Viewers eagerly anticipate the unfolding drama in the latest episode of BloodFree.
