The speculation about a romantic relationship between Han So-hee and Ryu Jun-yeol sparked when a Japanese tourist spotted the two together in Hawaii and shared about it on social media. The agencies of both actors responded with caution, emphasizing that they could not verify any details about their personal lives. Hye-ri, Ryu Jun-yeol’s former girlfriend, was the first to publicly comment on the matter.

Despite Hye-ri’s suggestive comment on social media, which sparked numerous speculations about a potential relationship between Ryu Jun-yeol and Han So-hee, Han So-hee took to social media to address the rumors and deny them directly. However, despite her efforts, suspicions about the two individuals continued to circulate.

Shortly after their relationship was revealed, the couple ultimately ended their relationship due to the overwhelming negativity surrounding them. Ryu Jun-yeol’s agency confirmed the news to Sports Today, while Han So-hee’s agency also released a statement confirming their split.

“She is sorry. She will duly receive whatever criticism [there is]. Moreover, our responsibility is huge, for not being able to care for our actor as her agency.

She will return again healthy.”

The statement referenced the actress’ response to her personal Instagram note. In the note, she addressed the negative reactions to news of her relationship and acknowledged that she would also face criticism for speaking out.

The fans are experiencing confusion over how to respond to the couple’s early breakup.
