Welp this has indeed turned messy, at least for K-ent standards. The J-tourist alleged sighting of Ryu Jun Yeol and Han So Hee flirting in Hawaii has now indeed been confirmed as the two are dating. Han So Hee went first by posting on her personal blog a very long message to her fans (translated below). She admitted the relationship, said it started after he had broken up with now ex-girlfriend Hyeri, and apologized to Hyeri for her immature earlier post responding to her SNS post after the news broke. Honestly, Han So Hee’s post is very direct, forthright, takes ownership for her own mistakes/immaturity, tries to explain facts such as Ryu Jun Yeo and Hyeri were broken up much earlier in 2023 before the news came out at the end of the year, and ultimately is in her own words. Was Han So Hee immature in her first post? Oh heck yeah but she’s a person and bound to have her own reactions, it’s just unfortunate to play out in public. Ryu Jun Yeol’s agency then admitted the two were dating after her blog post went up and now it’s confirmed. You can decide if you’re team ex-girlfriend or new girlfriend, but honestly this feels like much ado about nothing, other than I feel for Hyeri simply as it’s not easy to see a long time relationship move on to the next phase.
Hello everyone, in the past two days, many people have been scared or traumatized because of my incident, right? In fact, it is only right to inform everyone through a press release, but in my opinion, that is too official. In order to minimize the harm to the fans I cherish, I wrote these words.
First of all, I have a good impression of him and it is right that we are dating. But I would like to ask everyone to eliminate the word “transit”. I did meet him at a photography exhibition, but that was because I went to the photography exhibition through a photographer friend and knew before that that we would be collaborating on a work together, so I went to say hello.
The second point is that we started to have romantic feelings for each other in early 2024, but I heard that he broke up with that person in early 2023, and the news of that breakup only came out in November. Based on this fact, I confirmed my feelings and continued our relationship.
The third point is my lame Instagram story. Yes, it was lame and unnecessary. I should have done nothing. But I didn’t want to see or hear all kinds of rumors and opinions about transit. I temporarily lost my rationality and was offended.
I want to apologize to that person for not being able to respond rationally to everyone in public, and I sincerely apologize. That was an act of emotion before reason. No matter what the reason was, I should unconditionally admit that I was wrong.
Fourth point, although there is relevant news, the news cannot fully explain my mood and state of mind. Moreover, the only communication channel with fans is the blog, so I feel sorry for my sudden appearance here. Even if I come here with good news, I can’t repay you. I really feel sorry for my anxious fans who stayed up all night and kept paying attention to my situation. I also want to say sorry to everyone.
I often say, half jokingly and half sincerely, that I am already 30 and I still make everyone worry about things that should not worry about me. I still have a long way to go. Even so, I am grateful for the space to express my feelings, and I am sorry, both emotions merged. I just want to put a good face on everyone, but lately I feel like I’ve screwed up instead.
I reflected on whether living with values that value results more than processes would miss the momentary process. The reason why everyone likes me is not just because of a few photos or videos or that my attitude seems to be proud and arrogant. Even if I am not like that, as long as people see it that way, then I have that bad mood to some extent, right? I think it seems like the time has come for me to admit it and get back to where I was and find the answers to what I really want to do, what I enjoy, and what happiness is. After two years of rest, I have turned back into an immature kid again. As I said before, I hope everyone will scold me strictly from the sidelines.
During this period, I feel heartbroken when I think about my fans worrying about me, but when I do something wrong, thank you for supporting me and supporting me instead of beating and scolding me. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, so I want to do better. I want too much. I will learn how to calm myself down and meet you with a more mature attitude. I’m sorry to write such melancholy words in a blog that is updated a few times a year. It’s morning now. Enjoy a good breakfast, cheers.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

What a mess lol. Every single top article in Naver and Nate both are just on this topic. But I think that’s the last update on it thankfully. Everyone involved is almost 30 and at some point, everyone acted like a teen. So I say I’m team grow up and move on.
I totally agree with @Koala as I really feel for Hyeri. She seems like a sensible girl and I think it’s totally ok to unfriend someone for whatever reason or no reason.
I don’t blame Han So Hee before and after reading her letter. BUT……………
With such a large pool of talented actors, I just don’t understand how hot girls can fall for this not good looking dude….😅😅😅😅
It was 8 years but some relationships end emotionally before a couple officially call it quits and they stay together only because they've been together for so long, so they end up dragging the relationship past the point when they should've ended it. Moving on so quickly only a few months after their official breakup shouldn't be an issue.
Adults in a relationship. What a shock. Anyway. I wish them well!
8 Years is a long time, longer then some marriages. I get how Hyeri may feel. I wish the new couple well and wish Hyeri well in her search for new love. Just like in Reply 1988, Jang Hwan and Deok Sun weren't meant to be together. He ain't her Choi Taek! LOL
Why do we have to decide "team ex girlfriend" or "team new girlfriend"? Why can't we support both? I hope Hyeri moves on and has a happy life, and I hope HSH finds what she's looking for in love as well. Whenever there's a relationship scandal like this, the two women are pit against each other for no reason. Neither seemed to have done anything actually wrong.
Hyeri's IG story never named names. The comment could've been directed at RJY. Maybe he made some crap excuse about wanting to be single to find himself and suddenly he's in a relationship. Whatever it is, nobody knows, yet everyone is passing judgment.
But everyone has been so quick to blame RJY too, just as your strongly worded "crap excuse" that tells pretty much that being neutral doesn't extend to him. I don't care about the guy but inetz are as quick to hate on an actor that aside from his first public relationship has remained reasonably private during his career.
I didn’t mean to pin the blame on him, but using an example of a potential scenario since this article is written like “Team Hyeri” vs “Team Han Sohee”. My point was nobody knows who she directed it to. It could’ve been him, it could’ve been HSH. No one knows anything. He’s a grown man and can date whoever he wants. Everybody should just mind their own business and let these celebrities deal with their own personal lives. None of us are perfect either. I know I’m not.
New couple handled this badly...I bet HSH must be told there may be photo evidence of them dating thus she had to confess after denying earlier. Being exposed for lying is worse then doing a confession after a denial.
Hyeri is in pain... I know the feeling. Time will heal if she allows it to happen.
As for the new couple... who knows what future holds.
The media handled it badly. The speculative articles about Transit Love or IG stories was not needed. It should have ended with the first set of official statements. Trash journalism is what caused this unnecessary drama.
The new couple has the right to reveal their relationship or hide it for all eternity. It's called right to privacy. That these people are subjected to these invasions is horrible and we don't know what it's like at this level of intrusions, so nobody should judge these responses harshly.
Hyeri will have to get over it. They weren't together when he moved on, he had the right.
right... okay. Of course, no one is committing a crime here. Their career, their life, their choice. Lol..
Hyeri's post felt like the news confirmed something for her. Not saying, its cheating but a feeling, maybe it was final closure of the 8 year old relationship. I think Han So Hee handled it badly, I think Ryu Jun Yeol should not have let her take the entire burden on herself and stepped up to clarify some things. At least, she apologized. I hope Hyeri finds love and happiness again.
@gem I agree with you. I dunno why people make a fuss about hyeri’s postings. She certainly doesn’t seem to indicate anything about HSH. What does RJY supporters expect? She is not a robot to be congratulating her ex BF. As for HSH why did she react to the posting? At least she apologized while RJY watches football / eats popcorn happily while the two girls dealt with the “mess”
Why did she even comment? It was unnecessary. Unless she wants to make her ex look shady on purpose and oh hey, look, she succeeded with you.
Hyeri has a right to post a picture and she has the right to unfriend anyone. It’s ridiculous of people to attack her for posting a scenic picture of sky or trees.
I find HSH’s personality refreshing. Her actions back up her image. Wish she just leaned into her initial stance and didn’t backtrack with an apology.
Feel very sad for Hyeri. From her reaction I suspect RJY hasn't been totally honest with her (or HSH for that matter and that's all I will say on that).
HSH behaviour was very immature and very rude. At least she admitted she behaved like a loser and apologised.
RJY is lame for not simply clarifying things sooner. He only confirmed after he had no other choice because HSH posted all that on her blog. Sad for Hyeri that she wasted nearly the whole of her 20s on this guy. She must be hurting right now but I wish her healing and happiness in the future.
Am impressed at how well Hyeri played this. Despite what Han Sohee said about the timeline of the break up, the facts of the matter are that Hyeri was still sending RJY support food truck and celebrating his bday in November 2023 so that doesn’t show that the couple broke up earlier last year like Sohee claimed in her letter. Now HSH and RJY could have gotten together only after the break up but the fact that Sohee reacted so strongly to Hyeri’s post shows that something is fishy indeed. So with just one line aiming at no one in particular, Hyeri managed to blow open her ex’s new relationship and brought embarrassment to both the dating parties. Is it petty? Sure. Is it justified ? Perhaps if there was cheating involved. Is it impressive how she did it? 💯
Well, we can never know. They could have broken up in early 2023 saying this idiotic "we will stay good friends". Or it could be that Hyeri was trying to get him back sending gifts etc. Or that Han So Hee lied about the early 2023 part; or that he told her that and it was not true. Who knows?
The 8 years relationship end because there were negative routine act by hyeri's man i guest,he cheat too often and this time she tired to pretend then they agree to break while the break was getting wild hyeri knows because there were a 3rd party by so hee
Well so hee really matches the character on her best drama the world of the married wow congrats
