The Korean entertainment industry was recently rocked by a social media post from actress Han So Hee. The post, which was directed at Hyeri, was later deleted but not before it had ignited a storm of reactions from netizens.
On March 29, Han So Hee publicly called out Hyeri in her post. She criticized Hyeri’s previous claims about their mutual acquaintance, Ryu Jun Yeol. According to Hyeri, Ryu had expressed a desire to discuss their relationship further in November, which coincidentally was the same month he met Han So Hee.
In her statement, Han So-hee wrote, “I’m tired of any further speculation. Pursuing happiness in life has brought me to this point. After meeting various people, I realized that wasting time due to superficial judgments was futile. Now in my thirties, I’m no longer young and am seeking direction in life. It was during this journey that I met this person. It was exactly in November 2023 at a photo exhibition (our first encounter). I will ignore nonsensical comments claiming prior acquaintance. There was no such connection – not even the bear at home was a gift, but rather purchased via KakaoTalk in 2021.”
Hyeri had previously stated, “Last November, reports were published stating that my 8-year relationship was over. The decision to end our relationship wasn’t made quickly, and even after the articles were published, we spoke about further discussing our relationship. However, after that conversation, we have never spoken and have never seen each other. I think when I read the news (of his new relationship) 4 months later, I received the news as Lee Hyeri, the person rather than the actress. Again, I would like to apologize for causing harm due to my emotions.”
Netizens React
The post by Han So Hee was met with a flurry of reactions from netizens, many of whom expressed their alarm. A significant number of netizens criticized Han So Hee for attacking Hyeri. Comments ranged from disappointment to outright criticism, with some netizens expressing their hope that Han and Ryu would be happy together for a long time.
Ah, this is such a turn-off.
Just Hyeri alone already.
Ah, stop, stop.
Her image was so good… I thought they both apologized to each other and that everything was over. Why did she do this? And for what? I think she’s going to lose all her endorsements.
I just hope Han and Ryu are happy together for a long time.
But didn’t she say that she also found it interesting? Well, now I want to ask her.
Foolish.
Ask your boyfriend.
The controversy surrounding Han So Hee’s post has once again highlighted the intense scrutiny and pressure faced by celebrities in the public eye. As the dust settles, it remains to be seen how this incident will impact the careers and personal lives of those involved.
