Hyeri has spoken out following the recent controversy involving herself, her ex-boyfriend Ryu Jun Yeol, and actress Han So Hee. Over the past few days, these three individuals have been in the spotlight due to personal issues, with news circulating that Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee are in a relationship.
Netizens speculated about a feud between Hyeri and Han So Hee after one of Hyeri’s posts, allegedly responded to by Han So Hee, sparked assumptions of sarcasm and conflict between them on social media. After remaining silent for a while, Hyeri has now issued an apology.
1. On March 18, 2024, Hyeri apologized for the rumors surrounding Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee’s relationship.
On Monday (18/3/2024), Hyeri broke her silence regarding the controversy. She posted an apology on Instagram, accompanied by a black image. Here is what she wrote:
“Hello, this is Hyeri.
Firstly, I deeply apologize for the speculation and controversy that have arisen due to my recent actions. I didn’t consider the impact of my actions at that time, and I sincerely apologize to anyone who has been affected.
Last November, there was an article stating that Ryu Jun Yeol and I ended our eight-year relationship. This decision wasn’t made hastily, and even after the news broke, we were still discussing whether to address it publicly.
However, we haven’t been in contact or met since that discussion.
Four months later, after reading another article, it appears that my feelings were perceived as Lee Hyeri’s, not as an actress. Once again, I apologize for any harm caused by my impulsive actions.
The reason I haven’t provided a detailed explanation for my recent behavior is because the conversation is very personal, and I believe it would only exacerbate the situation. I also apologize if this has caused confusion for anyone.
Moving forward, I will be more cautious with my words and actions. Thank you.
(This post will be deleted as soon as possible, thank you).
2. There were suspicions of sarcasm in Hyeri’s post when Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee’s relationship was confirmed.
Previously, Hyeri drew attention after posting a photo from Hawaii with the caption “This is fun,” which was interpreted as satirical towards Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee. This occurred shortly after reports of the two Korean artists officially dating and vacationing together in Hawaii.
This post led to consequences when Han So Hee allegedly responded to Hyeri’s post, denying accusations of stealing someone else’s lover and saying, “This is fun for me too.” This further fueled speculation among netizens and fans regarding the real issues between Hyeri, Ryu Jun Yeol, and Han So Hee.
3. In the midst of the controversy, Han So Hee engaged in arguments with netizens, while Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol remained silent.
As speculation about an affair circulated, Han So Hee clashed with netizens and responded to trolls on her personal blog regarding her relationships. Eventually, the actress locked her Instagram account and blog.
Meanwhile, both Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol opted to stay silent. On Sunday (17/3/2024), Ryu Jun Yeol returned to Korea without his new girlfriend. Additionally, on Monday (18/3/2024), Han So Hee’s agency announced its intention to take legal action against those spreading malicious content about their artists.
