On March 15th, a netizen captured photos of Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol together in Hawaii, sparking dating rumors. Hyeri, Ryu Jun Yeol’s ex-girlfriend of 7 years, then shared an Instagram story with the caption “Interesting.”In response, Han So Hee shared a meme of a dog holding a knife, implying she found the situation amusing and denying any romantic involvement with Ryu Jun Yeol. However, she later deleted the story and confirmed her relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol
Despite the ongoing drama and controversial remarks from Han So Hee, her relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol eventually ended. The aftermath of the controversy caused turbulence for the three stars, leading them to make changes in both their careers and personal lives.
Ryu Jun Yeol
Despite maintaining silence, Ryu Jun Yeol was heavily criticized for being ambiguous with both his ex and new girlfriend. This led to both Hyeri and Han So Hee being attacked, with many labeling him as cowardly for not addressing the situation. Additionally, there were renewed discussions about Ryu Jun Yeol’s alleged involvement in real estate speculation, hypocrisy, and abuse of power controversies.
Despite being reconsidered for the position of Ambassador for Peace Environmental Organization, Ryu Jun Yeol’s quiet approach helped him minimize the damage. He received recognition from the Korean Cultural Heritage Administration due to his voluntary contribution as the voice of historical figure Lim Hyung Soo (1514-1547) for a digital exhibition at the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Chilbosan screen. Ryu Jun Yeol lent his voice to the historical character in both English and Korean, while also taking part in a golf tournament and preparing for the release of his upcoming series, “The 8 Show,”in May.
At the recent Baeksang Awards, Ryu Jun Yeol took on the role of presenter for Best Actor. This significant responsibility at such a prestigious event proves that his career remains unaffected by the Hyeri – Han So Hee controversy.
Hyeri
Despite receiving sympathy from the public during the controversy, Hyeri’s future remains uncertain, causing her fans to worry. According to Korean media on May 8th, it was reported that Hyeri would be leaving Creative Group ING after 5 years. She has chosen not to renew her contract and will instead pursue her career as a freelance artist.
C-JeS Entertainment has acquired Creative Group ING with a 100% stake for 1.3 billion won, resulting in the integration of artist management between the two companies. As a result, both Hyeri and her ex-boyfriend Ryu Jun Yeol are now under the management of C-JeS Entertainment. This has led to speculation that Hyeri’s apology for her post, “Interesting,”was due to potential conflicts with colleagues within the same company. Therefore, she refrained from expressing any further opinions to avoid any misunderstandings.
Despite her departure from Creative Group ING, Hyeri has yet to sign with a new agency. This could potentially make it challenging for her to thrive in the competitive industry of entertainment. However, numerous netizens have expressed their hopes for Hyeri’s ongoing success in her future endeavors.
Han So Hee
Despite Hyeri’s single statement and Ryu Jun Yeol’s reliance on his company, it was Han So Hee who bore the brunt of the controversy damage. Her reputation was greatly affected by her actions, as she continuously wrote and deleted lengthy posts. Even after her breakup with Ryu Jun Yeol, Han So Hee continued to publish critical posts and mocking memes about her ex.
“In addition to damaging her image, Han So Hee suffered consequences such as losing job opportunities. She faced contract terminations from two brands and had to withdraw from the drama “Deception.”Additionally, the suspicions surrounding her alleged fabrication of studying in France resurfaced.”
Despite Han So Hee’s claim that she successfully passed the entrance exam for a university in France, she accused Na PD of manipulating her words. Despite her explanation, the public remained unconvinced as she was unable to provide an offer letter from the university.
Han So Hee’s Instagram account now exclusively features selfies and brand photos.
