Actor Ryu Jun-yeol‘s split with his girlfriend of 8 years, Hyeri, made headlines last year. But things got complicated this week when rumors started swirling that Ryu Jun-yeol was now dating actress Han So-hee, and some people thought there might have been some overlap between the two relationships.
Here’s what went down:
In November 2023, news broke that Ryu Jun-yeol and Hyeri had broken up after being together for 8 years.
Just a few months later, in March 2024, rumors started that Ryu Jun-yeol was dating Han So-hee, with reports suggesting they were seen together in Hawaii.
This sparked talk of a “transit relationship,” meaning Ryu Jun-yeol might have been with Han So-hee while still seeing Hyeri.
Hyeri recently took to social media to address the situation. She said that she and Ryu Jun-yeol decided to end their relationship in November, but they talked about trying to work things out even after the news broke. However, they didn’t have any contact after that conversation. Then, four months later, she saw the rumors about Ryu Jun-yeol and Han So-hee.
Hyeri apologized for any confusion caused by her earlier social media post, where she said things were “fun.” She explained that she was just trying to express her feelings at the time and didn’t realize the impact it would have.
Here is the full statement from Hyeri’s SNS:
Hello, this is Hyeri. First, I sincerely apologize for the speculation and controversy that have arisen due to my personal emotions over the past few days. I think I failed to consider the impact that even my smallest actions could have. I sincerely apologize to anyone who has been harmed by my actions.
In November, it was reported that my 8-year relationship had ended. This decision was not made hastily, and even after the breakup was reported, we talked about possibly discussing things further. However, we have not had any contact or meetings since that conversation. And 4 months later, the emotions I felt after seeing new reports seemed to be perceived not as actress Lee Hyeri, but simply as Hyeri. I am sorry once again for causing harm through a momentary emotion.
The reason I have not spoken about my actions over the last few days is because our conversations were too private, and I thought it might only increase fatigue. If this caused confusion for anyone, I am sorry for that as well.
Going forward, I will be more careful with my words and actions. Thank you.
(This post will be deleted shortly. Thank you.)
Meanwhile, Han So-hee also spoke up. She said she and Ryu Jun-yeol started dating earlier this year, after his breakup with Hyeri. She asked people not to use the term “transit relationship.” However, she later deleted her posts and said she would take legal action against those spreading negativity online.
Ryu Jun-yeol hasn’t commented on the situation yet.
What fans are saying:
hyeri literally just posted 3 words, got all the unnecessary hate people even questioned her stardom and in the end she even apologized for all this what on earth is going on over that red flag. obviously she must be hurt 8 years relationship ain’t joke man😭 pic.twitter.com/9JGiAHnBOU
universe, please take all of the sadness and pain and diseases and any upcoming sufferings hyeri and her family members and close friends have and give all of them to ryu junyeol pic.twitter.com/NOlCCRbjZr
hyeri apologized for the expressing her feelings and sadness, sohee apologized for reacting and defending herself but where is that man’s apology for being an ugly ogre and a coward? bc as far as I’m concerned, that’s still a bigger crime but maybe that’s just me pic.twitter.com/Ar0yuwgPKv
So, what does this all mean? It’s hard to say for sure what happened in Ryu Jun-yeol’s relationships. Hyeri says they ended things in November. Han So-hee says they started dating after the breakup. It’s a confusing situation, and everyone involved seems to be dealing with it in their own way.
One thing is for sure: celebrity breakups and dating rumors can be very messy!
But celebrities are people too, and they go through breakups just like everyone else. It’s important to be kind and respectful online, even when things get confusing.
