Hello, this is Hyeri.

First, I would like to apologize for the controversies and speculations caused by my own emotions. At the time, I didn’t know the consequences each of my small actions could bring. I would like to sincerely apologize to the people who were affected by my actions.

Hyeri began her post by apologizing for the controversies and speculations caused by her emotions. She expressed regret for not realizing the consequences of her actions and apologized to those affected.

She then revealed that even after reports of her 8-year relationship with Ryu Jun Yeol ending were published last November, they had agreed to discuss their relationship further. However, they never spoke or saw each other again.

Hyeri shared that when she read the news of Ryu Jun Yeol’s new relationship four months later, she received the news as Lee Hyeri, the person, rather than the actress. She apologized again for causing harm due to her emotions.

She explained that the reason she had been silent on the issue was that their conversations were very personal, and she felt that they would cause more exhaustion. She apologized to those who were confused by her silence and promised to be more cautious with her words and actions in the future.

This revelation shocked fans as they did not know that Hyeri and Ryu Jun Yeol had agreed to discuss their relationship further but had never actually spoken to each other again.

Netizens reacted to the news, with many coming to the defense of Hyeri. Comments ranged from expressing understanding and support for Hyeri to hoping she would meet someone better. Some netizens also expressed their feelings about the difficulty of ending a long-term relationship.

• Turns out she was a saint for not saying anything worse. ㅠㅠ.
• I understand Hyeri and I support her. You’ll meet someone better! And I hope you sue the commenters!
• You can’t just cut off a 6-year relationship so easily… I feel bad for all of them. I don’t think anyone is at fault.

• Hyeri, hwaiting! Now that you have released your statement let’s send out lawsuits.
• Hyeri, I am rooting for you.
• Ah, now I get it. Honestly, if I dated someone for 8 years and they found someone in 4 months, I would be mad too.

• I understand all parties.
• Hyeri…
• In Hyeri’s point of view, although the breakup articles were published, because of her conversation afterward, she didn’t know that her 8-year relationship was over. She, therefore, must have thought Ryu Jun Yeol cheated on her after seeing his dating news. I don’t blame her for thinking that, either.

Meanwhile, Dispatch released a report on Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol. Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol were officially confirmed to be dating when Han So Hee personally admitted to the relationship.

This incident shows the personal struggles and emotional turmoil that idols often face behind the scenes. It also highlights the importance of understanding and empathy from fans and the public during such times. As Hyeri continues to navigate this challenging period, the support from her fans will undoubtedly be a source of strength and comfort.
