On September 5, 2024, the fashion world witnessed a stunning appearance by aespa’s Winter and f(x)’s Krystal at the Ralph Lauren SP25 event held in New York. Their visuals captured the attention of fans and fashion enthusiasts alike. Both idols, known for their flawless beauty and fashion sense, were seated in the front row at the prestigious show, and their interaction quickly became a hot topic online.
While their presence at the event was highly celebrated, a significant part of the online discussion shifted to a more controversial subject when the two idols were seen sitting alongside actor Ryu Jun Yeol. The actor, who has been under public scrutiny due to his recent personal life controversies, was part of the trio seated in the front row. His relationship status had become a matter of debate after rumors emerged about his dating life involving actress Han So Hee, and the subsequent breakup with his long-time girlfriend, Hyeri, from Girl’s Day. And after confirming relationship with Han So Hee, the actor then breakup with her within a week.
Fans React to the Trio’s Photo
When the photo of Winter, Krystal, and Ryu Jun Yeol was circulated online, netizens were quick to react, but the majority of the reactions were not in favor of the actor. Given the controversies surrounding Ryu Jun Yeol, some fans expressed discomfort seeing him seated next to the two idols. The dissatisfaction was palpable, with many sharing negative views about his presence at the event.

Notably, netizens used their creativity and technological skills to express their frustration. Various posts surfaced online where fans edited Ryu Jun Yeol out of the photos entirely. In one of the more humorous examples, a fan even utilized AI technology to replace the actor with an image of flowers, enhancing the “removal” and making it even more impactful. The edited versions of the photos quickly gained popularity on social media platforms like Twitter.
A fan humorously wrote: “GO AWAY RYU JUN YEOL, I NEED KRYSTAL AND WINTER BESIDE EACH OTHER,” alongside a creatively edited photo that excluded the actor.
Despite the controversy, the Ralph Lauren event itself was a highly anticipated fashion gathering, drawing numerous celebrities and influencers from around the world. Winter, representing aespa, and Krystal, known for her longstanding reputation in the fashion world, were among the most talked-about guests. Both stars had been praised for their fashion choices, with Winter donning a sleek, modern outfit that highlighted her youthful charm and Krystal radiating elegance with her classic beauty and sophisticated attire.
One fan wrote: “WINTER and KRYSTAL look so stunning together, I can’t handle this visual overload”.
The event marked another high-profile appearance for Winter, who has been making waves in both the music and fashion industries. Similarly, Krystal, a longtime favorite in the fashion world, further solidified her status as a style icon. Together, they represented two generations of K-pop stars making an impact not only in music but also in global fashion.
Controversy Over Ryu Jun Yeol
The negative reaction toward Ryu Jun Yeol stems from recent developments in his personal life. After ending a long-term relationship with Hyeri, his involvement with Han So Hee attracted media attention and public criticism. While both stars officially confirm and end their relationship, the rumors were enough to fuel online debates and backlash against the actor.
Fans of Hyeri expressed their disappointment, and many netizens remained unsupportive of Ryu Jun Yeol’s public appearances since the controversy. This dissatisfaction was clearly reflected in the comments on the photos from the Ralph Lauren event, where many focused on editing him out, further emphasizing the collective disapproval of his presence.
Another fan said: “I love the energy from Winter and Krystal, but can we just pretend Ryu Jun Yeol isn’t there?”.
