In a move that has surprised fans and netizens alike, actress Han So Hee has made her Instagram account private following the recent confirmation of her relationship with actor Ryu Jun Yeol.

This decision comes after a whirlwind few days for Han So Hee. Initially, rumors swirled online after the two were allegedly spotted vacationing together in Hawaii. Both actors’ agencies initially denied the rumors, but the situation took a turn when Han So Hee took to her blog to address the situation directly.

In her blog post, Han So Hee confirmed she was dating Ryu Jun Yeol, but denied any allegations that the relationship overlapped with Ryu Jun Yeol’s previous relationship with Girl’s Day’s Hyeri. She also revealed she had responded to comments on the blog post in an attempt to quell rumors, but ultimately decided to wipe the blog clean.

Han So Hee’s decision to go private on Instagram has left many confused. The actress boasts a massive social media following, with over 17.7 million followers and hundreds of posts. These posts typically garner millions of likes, showcasing her strong online presence.

While the exact reason for Han So Hee’s retreat from public social media remains unclear, it’s likely a response to the intense public scrutiny surrounding her relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol. The situation escalated quickly, with speculation and online discourse reaching a fever pitch. Negative comments and accusations likely factored into her decision to take a step back.

Korean netizens agreed that the decision to close her blog account was the right one — considering the responses and comments around her dating scandal with Ryu Jun Yeol were getting out of hand.

Meanwhile, Ryu Jun Yeol recently returned from his Hawaii trip alone, attempting to maintain a low profile upon arrival at the airport.

It’s uncertain how netizens will react to Han So Hee’s decision to go private on Instagram. All eyes are now on the actress’s next move, wondering if she will return to public social media interaction or maintain her current stance.
