Han So Hee-Ryu Jun Yeol-Hyeri Saga: Here's An Update

To recall, the news broke on March 15, 2024, after a Japanese netizen claimed that she saw the South Korean stars in Hawaii lounging together by the pool. It came after outlets mentioned that they were in talks to star in an upcoming historical horror K-drama, "Delusion."

At the height of the dating rumors, Ryu Jun Yeol's agency confirmed that he was in Hawaii, but for a work-related trip. As for his romance with the actress, the talent label declined to comment on the rumors.

Meanwhile, Han So Hee's agency denied the rumors and emphasized that she was on vacation with friends.

Shortly after, Hyeri, Ryu Jun Yeol's ex-girlfriend, shared a cryptic post online with the text, "This is funny."

Interestingly, Han So Hee shared an Instagram Story, which seemed to be her response to Hyeri's post. Pointing out that she "don't like people who have a significant other" and "don't take an interest in them" to the point that it would lead to a relationship, she added fuel to the fire when she wrote, "I also find this funny."

However, she followed it with a blog post where she confirmed her relationship to Ryu Jun Yeol and apologized to Hyeri for her "pathetic and lame" Instagram post.

"I should have just stayed still, but even though I didn't want to see rumors and claims that I started dating [Ryu Jun Yeol] before his breakup, I still saw and heard them, so I temporarily lost all reason and behaved rudely."

As for Hyeri, her agency mentioned that she has "no plans" to respond to Han So Hee's apology.
