Actress Han So-hee has disclosed the timing of Ryu Jun-yeol and Hye-ri’s breakup, sparking further controversy.
On the 16th, Han So-hee expressed on her personal blog, “Why would someone come forward and reveal the timing of another’s breakup? Is it acceptable to expose someone’s private life to prove their innocence? It’s disrespectful.”
Han So-hee had previously clarified the timeline of her relationship with Ryu Jun-yeol, stating, “I was informed that his breakup with Hye-ri concluded in early 2023, and the news emerged in November.”
“If it’s deemed disrespectful, I’ll remove it. It served as evidence that there was no overlap in relationships, but I now realize that may have been an excuse.”
Although Han So-hee’s response was subsequently deleted, its contents proliferated across various online platforms, leading to heightened controversy.
The crux of the issue lies in the breakup timeline of Ryu Jun-yeol and Hye-ri, as disclosed by Han So-hee.
Observers are puzzled by Han So-hee’s admission that she did not receive confirmation directly from those involved but inferred it from published articles.
Specifically, there is scrutiny over her reference to a ‘June article,’ as there had been no prior rumors about Ryu Jun-yeol and Hye-ri’s separation in June of the previous year, which only adds to the speculation.
Indeed, no breakup rumors surfaced in June of the prior year. However, at that time, Hye-ri garnered attention by revealing in a video for ENA’s variety show ‘Hyemiriye Chaepa’—which featured unaired segments—that she hadn’t received even a single KakaoTalk message daily. Her statement fueled speculation about a possible estrangement in her relationship with Ryu Jun-yeol, potentially linking to breakup rumors.
Ultimately, in November of that year, breakup rumors circulated, and both parties acknowledged their separation, transitioning from a publicly known couple to colleagues after six years of dating.
Viewers who have followed the events have voiced various opinions on the matter.
