Actress Han So Hee has re-addressed her dating controversy with Ryu Jun Yeol and mentioned Hyeri once again in a lengthy new Instagram post
On the 29th of March, Han So Hee posted a lengthy message on her SNS, saying, “I am tired of further speculation. I have come this far in pursuit of happiness in life. After meeting various people, I realized that wasting time on appearances and age was not worth it. At the age of thirty, I met this person [Ryu Jun Yeol] while seeking the direction of my life.”
Regarding the controversy surrounding the “transit relationship,” she clarified, “The timing is exactly November 2023 at a photo exhibition (it was our first meeting).” She explained, “It is true that Ryu Jun Yeol and Hyeri broke up last year. They exchanged final greetings, wishing each other well and healthy, before parting ways.”
Then, she criticized his ex-girlfriend Hyeri, saying, “I wonder what was so funny [referring to Hyeri’s original post after the rumors first started] about my ex-boyfriend getting a new girlfriend after we broke up. Why do you disguise the content of your messages as if they were not for the purpose of reuniting, but rather as if they were full of lingering feelings, and attach the title of ‘transfer’ to the new relationship that took place 4 months later without saying anything?.”
The post written by Han So Hee was deleted after about 10 minutes.

Previously, on March 15, a netizen alleged they had seen Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol in Hawaii. Soon, rumors of the two dating spread wide. Both of their agencies initially said they cannot comment on the situation until it took a turn when Hyeri, who had dated Ryu Jun Yeol for nearly 7 years, issued a cryptic post saying “I find it funny/amusing” to her SNS. She also ended up unfollowing him on Instagram causing speculation over whether Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol had dated while he was still together with Hyeri.
Initially, Han So Hee issued a statement denying she’d ever be in a relationship with a taken man, however, a day later she confirmed she was indeed dating Ryu Jun Yeol via a blog post and talked about the timeline of her boyfriend and Hyeri’s breakup, leading to even more speculations and accusations.
Ryu Jun Yeol’s agency then confirmed he’s indeed dating her and promised strict legal action against malicious comments but since Han So Hee kept answering people’s questions on her blog, the situation got even more out of control. She ended up wiping her blog and deleting everything from it.
Hyeri then issued an apology for what she’d written to her SNS, she apologized for her role in this but said they had been talking and she’d been under the impression they might reconcile which made rumors swirl again.
