“Silence is golden,” they say, and for actor Ryu Jun Yeol, it seems to be the chosen path. On April 2, Ryu Jun Yeol made his first Instagram post since his scandal and subsequent breakup, causing quite a stir among netizens.




The post, devoid of any mention of Han So Hee or the controversy, was a simple showcase of a recent photoshoot where Ryu Jun Yeol modeled a watch. The actor’s silence during Han So Hee and Hyeri’s public fallout had been noticeable, and this post, his first public appearance since the scandal, has sparked a flurry of reactions.
Netizens’ responses to Ryu Jun Yeol’s post were a mixed bag. While some criticized him for his silence throughout the scandal, others defended the actor. Comments ranged from disbelief at his choice to model a brand amidst the controversy to expressions of support for his acting career.
